After actually playing the game..

• The interface is weird, but cool once you adjust. I still get peeved at no numbers for foot rankings though.
• OMG WTF NO EXTRA STAGE UNLESS AA AN 8 FOOTER. *cry*
• OMG WTF 4TH MIX GRADE SYSTEM *cry*
• OMG WTF KBM SCROING SYSTEM *cry*
• The KR transplants suck nuts. Lazy act on KOA's part. I think I lost a good 5% of my brain cells playing that Cher cover....
• New songs seems too easy (AGAIN).
• New licensed songs are not too bad, and the steps are decent on most of them (Move You Feet and Scorching Moon in particular).
• Mission Mode redeems the whole thing. I just wish that those special modifiers were unlockable.
• Party mode is just an afterthought for me, no Eyetoy.
• Unlock system goes too slow. There should have been a counter like in MAX2.
• OMG WTF I CAN'T TURN OFF CORNER BUTTONS?

Overall....3/5

I played a bit of mission mode last night. That should have been unlocked from the get go and there should be like 5 times the number of stages.

As for being able to play them, the folks at AARONINJAPAN are hacking the disc like they did with the japanese home versions. So maybe it will happen if you have a modded PS2.

I'm quite fond of Bizarre Love Triangle. I don't like the synth they added to Waiting for Tonight. Believe is ok.

I thought the DanceManiaX style guage at the end of an Oni was a nice touch. A quick visualization if you don't care about specific numbers.

I do agree that the unlocking is a bit slow.
Information mode is still just as cheesy as ever, gotta love Mr. Enos.

The EyeToy games are a riot, HYPERDASH IS AWESOME.

No number rating, I just like it.

That is my biggest complaint, especailly since I'm playing on a soft pad. I swear the one good I got on Pink Rose was because of that -.-.

Other than the annoying corner buttons, the game is pretty good. I play with a CF but it still seems to hit those corner buttons anyways. I havent completed the mission mode yet cuz some of those are so frustrating and confusing i gave up.
