DDR Festival Dance Dance Revolution , sometimes abbreviated as DDR Festival, is a Music video game released on November 18, 2004 by Konami Computer Entertainment Japan for the PlayStation 2. A sister release to the North American Dance Dance Revolution Extreme and Dancing Stage Fusion, DDR Festival Dance Dance Revolution shares the look and feel of those games while featuring a unique soundtrack composed of many songs from the North American Ultramix series (both original music and transplanted music) and from the Japanese Karaoke Revolution series. DDR Festival is the first version of Dance Dance Revolution in Japan to primarily use Japanese for in-game text and menus, all DDR games before it simply used American English.
GAMEPLAY:
The gameplay remains the same as previous version. The song wheel now uses the same design as the USA version of DDR EXTREME, which means Groove Radar are now gone. As in with the DDR EXTREME USA, the dance play option is missing and is heavily criticized for its strict scoring system. Several other options also strangely missing, such as SOLO (arrow) and challenge difficulty. Instead, the challenge difficulty marquee is replaced by OPTION. The player need to choose OPTION to open the options menu, rather than holding X button after selecting a song. Every songs from DDR Ultramix do not have Beginner difficulty, though some of their heavy charts have been replaced with a new, harder chart. Background of dancer guiding the players how to step also separated from game mode (Beginner difficulty is still selectable though). Party Mode and Mission Mode remains intact, though there are only 50 missions, rather than 100
The song list primarily consist of American licenses from Karaoke Revolution and new Konami Original introduced in DDR Extreme (USA) as well as new songs from DDR Ultramix (including downloadable songs).
