[games] Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2 (PS2)

[dot_fennel]

I found the "missions" silly and not varied enough, without many exciting songs to draw me in. Playing "Paranoia Survivor" just about makes up for it, though. I think it's been six years since Konami released a mix of Paranoia I enjoyed, and this one's great-- syncopated enough to be like crude tap dancing instead of sprinting.

It's a good thing I'm too tired to calculate what percentage of my lifetime that 'six years' means I've played DDR for.

I thought the missions got moderately interesting later on.

There was a very narrow window for me between 'way too easy' and 'way too hard'. (I'm stuck on several missions toward the end of area D-- I think it's the version of "My My My" that requires avoiding most of the steps, the course that requires a 600-step combo, the course that makes you finish Paranoia Survivor with less than 4 mistakes, and the one that wants a high score for Seduction).

I like having weird mods thrown at me, and was disappointed when so few of the missions involved that.

But apparently I've unlocked all songs and courses in the shop, so I don't have to care anymore.

In the last couple of weeks, I've rediscovered how much I enjoy DDR. Much more fun when I'm not wearing Sylvana, though also good for putting her to sleep, dancing while wearing the Trekker.
