Jam-packed with over 50 high-energy songs, fans can look forward to a multitude of dance music that has never before appeared in a U.S. home version of the game - until now. Konamix also sports a completely new graphical interface and includes new gameplay modes. Now, in Edit Mode, players can save and edit dance routines that can be traded with friends; Solo Mode is a more challenging 1-player mode featuring 6 arrows; and NONSTOP ORDER allows players to create their own nonstop dance mixes. The Workout Mode is back by popular demand in Dance Dance Revolution Konamix but now features more robust options including the ability to track a workout program over weeks and/or months. [Konami]

The only think wrong with Konamix is the fact that it's come out a year too late.

PSX Nation
Slick interface, colorful graphics that display cool characters/shapes/colors and the best control interface ever conceived for a music game make this $30 PSOne the definite 32-bit representative of Konami’s perpetual cash cow. [12/31/02]

This game is F-U-N, and with the right, high-quality dance pad (like Red Octane's pad), you will spend countless hours mastering your moves and then adding your own style to it.

If I were stranded on a deserted island, DDR Konamix would be the game I would want with me. [July 2002, p.89]

If you've only encountered Dance Dance Revolution in its American incarnations, it's a godsend. [June 2002, p.32]

Electronic Gaming Monthly
Konamix is worthy, an dif you enjoy music games, you owe it to yourself to get this one. [June 2002, p.120]

TechTV
The best US version of DDR by far, mostly because of the song list, which is larger than most of the song lists of even the import versions of DDR, and because of the variety in modes of gameplay.

I'm not quite ready to show off my mad dance moves at the arcade just yet, but I've been having a blast playing DDR Konamix.

A much better product than the original DDR USA and the Disney Rave, both in breadth of songs and range of features.

The game that once inspired awe with its wacky style and bizarre game mechanics in 1998 is getting a bit stale.

This is THE best home version of DDR that has been released. And since it has the song, Afronova Primeval on it, that makes this game an ultimate favorite for me!

Anthony N. gave it a 10:

Deanna O. gave it a 10:
It is awsome. My freinds and I work up a sweat, it is fun!!:)

Jessica W. gave it a 10:
I have owned this game for a couple of months now and think its great. I play it a lot BUT without the pad you are missing out on everything! It makes a worlds difference.

Robert D. gave it a 9:
Konamix has to be the best American release of DDR so far. With it's combination of songs from 4th Mix and 5th Mix in Japan. And the 4th Mix Plus layout - the game truly has been revolutionized this time. DDR MAX for PS2 looks like it has even more promise. Keep your heads up this November for the newest DDR release!

Jason L. gave it a 9:
Are you ready? This fast paced dancing game gives players a fun and creative way to make moves on the dance pads! I do NOT recommend this game if you can NOT buy the dance pads! This game will keep you on your feet and give you hours of exercise and fun!
