"You're not an ordinary fella!"
"Grab my heart."
"100 combo!"..... "200 combo!"
"Marvelous!"
One of my favorite games from my childhood. So many bangers, I still get this game out every now and then. I'm no dancer, but I do enjoy jamming and pressing the buttons on the controller. Our dance pads didn't work very well anyway.

eHOLE rating: 42% (30/71). This is a review of the NA CS release, although it should be made clear that the arcade release of Extreme is a fabulous game, the franchise's finest hour.
The CS release, however, is ugly as sin, has a marginal tracklist stuffed with lifeless covers of pop hits, and featured a collaboration with Burger King that allowed players to unlock a Paula Terry song. Trash!
Favorite song: Only You. (Also my mom's favorite, so maybe there's some fondness-by-transference happening here.) The death of Francisco Gutierrez, AKA Franky Gee, AKA the face of Captain Jack himself, was the first tragedy to really rock Bemani. Captain Jack had more personality than just about any other licensed artist in DDR, and though his music didn't often hit for me, Only You was the outlier that stole my heart. The fakey doo-wop chord progression and background vocals in the chorus are just too sweet for me to deny. All the hoochie mamas throw your hands up!!!
