Playing double is almost like learning DDR again from the beginning. That means that you get to have all that thrill of progression one more time! Seriously, it’s worth the price of an extra pad.

It needs 5.1 support, but this is still the best DDR yet. [Nov 2003, p.42]

Same as it ever was -- which is not a bad thing, by any means.

The tunes are crisp and the visuals are interesting to watch from a spectator standpoint; they don't distract from the dance symbols.

A fairly simplistic game, an hour or even less spent with DDRMax2 will make even the most jaded gamer realize its charm. Even if it is not your cup of tea, I suggest you give it a try at least once.

With the release of DDRMAX2, the US is finally getting a collection of songs that contains a few hits from this country rather than relying on the Eurodance and Japanese pop music for which the series is known.

DDRMAX 2 is still fun and a must for any fan of the series, but it would've been nice to have seen more in terms of new modes of play and improved visuals. [Oct 2003, p.71]

DDRMAX2 is without a doubt my favourite entry in the series! It has some of the best stepcharts, some of the best music, and quite a bit of extra content that will keep your feet on the dance pad until you can dance no more!
Aside from a couple of stepcharts that lean into the jump arrows a bit too much (looking at you, So Deep on Standard difficulty), this is the DDR game I’d recommend to anyone, from beginners to experts.
