Dancing Stage Fusion is a music video game released by Konami for the European PlayStation and PlayStation 2 on 5 November 2004. In April of the following year, Fusion was released as an arcade game. The arcade release of the game was the first arcade machine in Europe since Dancing Stage EuroMix 2 and set a milestone as the first Dance Dance Revolution arcade machine produced by Konami since Dance Dance Revolution Extreme in 2002. The arcade release also marked a total game engine upgrade from the old PlayStation-based boards to a new system built on top of an off-the-shelf PlayStation 2. This hardware upgrade would be featured later on in the global release of Dance Dance Revolution SuperNova in 2006.

Gameplay

Dancing Stage Fusion features EyeToy support for the PlayStation 2 release as well as new music from artists like The Darkness, The Sugababes and others. There is an option to use two dance mats at the same time, or against each another in versus mode, with eight levels of difficulty.[1]

The main mode is the Game Mode, where one or two players compete for points over three songs. Each player can choose a different difficulty, with a substantial number of tweaks and settings that can be applied to make the game more or less difficult. Besides the Game Mode, a Workout mode is also included, which is targeted towards fitness or workout, as well as an Endless Mode which allows the players to dance continuously.[2]

Music

The arcade release of Dancing Stage Fusion consists of 49 songs, while the PlayStation 2 version consists of 54 songs, replacing five arcade licenses with ten console-only licenses. The soundtrack of the PlayStation release is a cut down list of the music available on the PlayStation 2 version, having only 20 songs as opposed to 54.[3][4]

The songlist for Dancing Stage Fusion was significantly improved from previous versions, containing considerably more songs, as well as having more difficult songs. Many of the licensed songs were also of a harder difficulty than before, as licenses in Dancing Stage MegaMiX (an earlier game in the series) went up to a foot rating of 4, whilst the licenses in Fusion go up to 7.
