Dancing Stage Euro Mix 2 - Gameplay

Gameplay

The core gameplay of Euromix 2 is similar to Euromix, but introduced the new two-tiered scoring system and freeze arrows to the European audience. As mentioned, Euromix 2 uses DDRMAX2's engine and interface but with some minor differences, such as Nonstop mode being accessed from the song wheel, difficulty selections being made before the song begins, and the options menu introduced by DDRMAX is not used, electing to still use step codes. These codes are entered on the song selection screen.
As with most recent DDR games, the arrows scroll on top of full motion video backgrounds with no dancing characters, but if the Beginner difficulty is chosen, the background is replaced by a visual representation of the pad, and a character assisting the player on when to step. Beginner mode was later also added to Dance Dance Revolution Extreme and the US version of DDRMAX2. Unlike other recent DDR games, Euromix 2 also does not feature unlocks or an extra stage.
