Dance Dance Revolution Party Collection
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dance Dance Revolution Party Collection is a music video game that is part of the Dance Dance Revolution and Bemani series. It is developed and produced by Konami and was released in Japan in December 11, 2003 for the PlayStation 2 video game console. It does not have an arcade counterpart.
[edit] Music
Many of the songs in the game are from Dance Dance Revolution 5thMIX, DDRMAX (6thMIX), DDRMAX2 (7thMIX), and DDR EXTREME. Party Collection also includes many older songs that didn't appear in any of these four mixes.
Notable songs from this version include:
- PARANOiA -Respect-: This "PARANOiA" remix scrolls at a steady 300 BPM, with several full pauses to catch players off-guard. The last portion of the song contain several 1/8-note runs including freezes which make the other arrows more difficult to sight-read. However, several parts of the song only have 1/4-notes and provide rests for the player. The Heavy steps are rated a "flashing" 10. The artist listed is .3k which is a collaboration between Naoki Maeda and Sota Fujamori.
- Freedom, I Need You (Inside Out Door Mix), Stars (2nd Naoki's Style), Can Be Real: These are the only other new songs in the game.
All the new songs ended up finally appearing in the arcades on Dance Dance Revolution SuperNOVA.
[edit] Soundtrack
The Original Soundtrack for DDR Party Collection was produced by Toshiba-EMI under their Dancemania dance music brand. It contained all the songs on the game, as well as every song released on the Japanese home versions of Dance Dance Revolution up to that point.
