Dancing Stage Fusion

Dancing Stage Fusion is a music video game released by Konami for the European PlayStation and PlayStation 2 on 5 November 2004. In April the following year, the game was released as an arcade game.

Gameplay
The main mode of Dancing Stage Fusion is the Game Mode, where up to two players compete for points over up to five 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.

For the PlayStation 2 release of the game, EyeToy support is featured, as well as additional songs from artists like The Darkness, DJ Bobo and others. There is also an option to use two dance mats at the same time, or against each another in versus mode, with eight levels of varying difficulty.

Music
The songlist for Dancing Stage Fusion received an improvement from its predecessors, containing considerably more difficult songs, as well as more songs overall.

The arcade release of the game 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.
