From this point forward, DDR sequels are mostly just 'how does the songlist fare?' and 'did they fix that one really dumb usability issue?'

Anyway, 2ndMix (or ReMix on consoles) is an immediate facelift from 1. Killer lineup of new tracks all-around - If You Were Here, Get Up 'N Move, I Believe in Miracles, Smoke, Brilliant2U Orchestra Groove, Put Your Faith In Me, Let Them Move (best singing ever), AM-3P, Paranoia KCET, Trip Machine Jungle and Luv mixes, - like damn, that's almost the whole new song list, and it's all 10/10 riffs, holy shit. They even got a song about gay strippers in here. Everything's a little bit harder but still respects the 1x scroll speed limitations - in some cases, playing around with it for some visibility-driven challenge.

It still has most of the same hangups from 1 - weird/bad unlock requirements, odd menu organization, and you still can't modify input timing. I still had a lot of fun revisiting it despite that tho, a short but extremely well-knit songlist.
