Ok, I don't know about you guys, but I definately think Ultramix 2 is the better game here.

Songs: I was totally disapointed with the songs included in EXUSA. Granted, some of the liscensed tracks on EXUSA were good, such as Somnambulist and Planet Rock. However, the few good licensed tracks did not cover the gaping hole left by the massive suck-age of the rest of the pack. Ultramix 2, on the other hand, has many of the good tracks from 8thmix, and still manages to add even more great songs with the licenses and new work by Jespyr Kyd.

Graphics - As far as dancers go, I am a firm believer of quality over quantity. Ok...so maby we dont have Baby-Lon, and Rage looks like he got into a fight with a lawnmower and lost, but the dancing from the U2 characters looks more natural and real. The only big problem I had with the graphics in U2 were the Random Movie BGs. They tended to get annoying and sometimes blended in with the arrows, but reducing the BG brightness fixed that problem in a hurry.

Replay - Xbox Live. Downloadable characters, songs, edits. Online play, better party modes, and online high score tables.

...'Nuff Said.

(I know that this topic has probably been discussed millions of times in other forums and that every argument has probably been made already with respect to personal preferences and such. However, these days I tend to not frequent other forums. What can I say...TGA is now my life ^_^)

I walked into Circuit city hearing Love Is Dreaminess and flipped out, I immidatly went to a person running the system and they said it was a promo disc they got for Ultramix 2, I also heard G2.

Ya I may be getting this game if I ever end up getting an Xbox.

I am strongly thinking about it. Even though I hate XBOX. But we'll. I'm too stuck on a different game. i heard pretty good reviews about it.

I definately have to say that I like the BM/IIDX songs that they put into Ultramix 2.
Namely: Love is Dreaminess, Starmine, VJ Army, R10K, and im sure there are a couple others, but i cant think of them right now due to burn-out caused by attempting to write a 13-page short story for English 12 Honors (which, consequently, is due tomorrow). Maybe i should get back to work now...

...ok, Page 1..."It was a dark and stormy day when...."

aww crapz0rz, I'm screwed

I apologize for any wrong information on this page about the origins of those songs, as well as my bad grammar. I am so tired right now that I feel like my eyelids have obese penguins sitting on them. :guin:

Well, ill be stopping by on MLK day, and I'm bringing my computer. Having SM and a crapload of songs, plus a BNS-DX ignition pad and converter, you will be able to play 1st Samurai on DDR....

...I just can't do it on Heavy, though >_<

I'm not interested in Reach's bullshit steps, if that's what you mean. They're easy on keyboard, but on foot... not possible.

SM != DDR :gator:

They arent Reach's steps. Udderdude made them.

They are quite padable...I just suck at it!

And yes, Xbox = pelvic thrust

*goes to look @ xbox pr0n*

EDIT:The following info is not correct. Pads are layed out in a line ;-)
I'm not entirely sure, but I think that you have to lay the pads out in a 4-square pattern

ie: (Pads are numbered by controller port)

1 2
3 4
EDIT END

Have any one you guys purchased the game at all?

Well, I was going to...but when I got to best buy with my $50 gift card, they were all like "Sorry, we just sold out." So I figured that I'd get Mechassault 2 and just get U2 at Gamestop, but they didn't have Mechassault 2 either. And this was on the 30th.

It wasnt that they sold out...they never got it to begin with. So i got Goldeneye: Rogue Agent, which totally sucks.

Erm...sorry bout the rant at the end >_<
