Japanese
dancers finally get to enjoy the features that
stateside patrons of DDR Extreme have been playing
since the game was released in September. DDR
Festival features standard dancing action as well as
a Party Mode where mini-games are stomped out and
EyeToy compatibility where the camera is used to add
a bit of variety to the game. Diet mode returns to
help players keep track of how many calories are
burnt and a Beginner mode teaches tyros the basics
of dancing.
The unlockable Mission Mode challenges dancers with
100 missions of incessantly increasing difficulty
where certain objectives must be met such as scoring
millions of points, clearing the set with a full
combo, or garnering a string of "PERFECT" rankings
in a row.
In one mini-game called Hyper-Dash,
Konami hearkens back to the days of Track 'n Field
where hoofers pound on the left and right arrows
maniacally in a vain attempt to get the onscreen
avatar running. If one were to use a joypad, the
practice would be called "button-mashing," but here,
it should probably be called "really embarrassing."
Another mini-game gives dancers the chance to feed
animals such as frogs, rabbits, and cats their
favorite foods by hitting the dancing pad arrows.
EyeToy owners may select a mode
which captures the player's motions and throws it up
as the background to the game. Neglected Para Para
fans may select a mode where hands as well as feet
are used in conjunction to pass the challenges on
screen.
The music mix in DDR Festival
unabashedly follows in the footsteps of DDR Extreme
US, DDR Max US, and Ultramix with tracks such as
"Kids in America" by Kim Wilde, "Bizarre Love
Triangle" as covered by Jerry, and "Ladies' Night"
from Angle R. New tracks include Jamelia's Superstar
and BeForU's Ki-Se-Ki (DDR edit). All in all, a
worthy game which brings some of the USA DDR
features over to Japan and shares the songs from the
USA mixes as well.
The DDR Festival Bundle includes the Dance Dance Revolution
Festival game and a DDR Control Mat for use with the
Japanese Playstation 2.
