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.
