Music
Dance Dance Revolution Ultramix 2 has a unique songlist compared to previous releases on other console systems. Rather than focusing on songs pulled from specific arcade versions, there is more emphasis on completely new material. This is also the first DDR release to feature licenses from A Different Drum records, a trend that would continue on throughout the Ultramix and DDR Universe series, as well as the arcade release of Dance Dance Revolution X. This is also the second DDR game to use downloadable content after its predecessor, allowing users to download song packs off of Xbox Live.A large portion of the new songs were ported over to the Japanese PlayStation 2 release, Dance Dance Revolution Strike.
