A year after release of the popular DJ simulation game, Pentavision does thousands of fans a big favor and releases its successor. Once again, the game resembles Konami's popular beatmania series: You take the position as DJ and are challenged to hit the correct button(s) on your PSP handheld at the right time to complete the song.
DJ Max Portable 2 introduces one more gameplay mode and offers a song selection of more than 60 tunes. In the new Fever Mode, you fill up your Fever ability which, when activated, speeds up the notes and applies a 2x score multiplier. By filling up yet another Fever, you can activate it again for a 3x multiplier, so on and so forth.
The game supports various difficulty modes, a language selection (to switch between Korean, English and Japanese), 4, 5, 6 and 8-button modes, a network mode and lots more.
Just like its predecessor, the soundtrack collection is stored on the UMD. You can play back and listen to the soundtrack without playing the game. The game also contains a DJ Max Portable (1) connectivity mode, which allows you to play old songs on DJ Max 2.
Fantastic, but tough for beginners Incredibly addictive rhythm game, even if it has a rather steep difficulty curve. There's a large variety of catchy songs, and you'll become appreciative of the music videos and soundtrack collection included on the UMD. The best part is it comes with Korean, Japanese and English as language options, so importation is no problem!

Original Was Awesome, The Sequel's Even Better If you've played DJ MAX then you'll definitely want to get this too. The sequel features a link disc mode where you can play DJ MAX Portable songs on Portable 2's new interface. A new 5 Button is introduced here in addition to the other modes. Also, the Fever button makes it's debut here, when the bar fills up you can activate it to add a multiplier to your score.
Once again, excellent soundtrack, lots of memorable songs, and very few bad tracks. A good mix of genres are represented here. If you like these type of games, this series is not to be missed.

Just right for a music gamer. I love music game such as DDR,ITG,BeatMania,and many other which is usually by Konomi but when I first played this game the music got me addicted. I love the music and the notes that go along with it. It's the best for gamers that enjoy music!
