DJMax Respect stays true to its roots by retaining the beloved gameplay modes that captured the hearts of fans. Prepare to dive into Arcade Mode, which brings back the addictive online ranking system that brings a competitive edge to every song you play.
For those looking for a more collaborative experience, Freestyle Mode allows you and a friend to embark on an exciting two-player journey together.

While the core gameplay mechanics remain intact, it’s important to note that certain elements have been tweaked. In the past, skins, notes, and photos were used to provide bonus stats to enhance gameplay.
In DJMax Respect, however, these items have changed and are now purely visual enhancements. They allow players to fully customize their experience and showcase their unique style throughout the game. So while the functionality may have changed, the opportunity for personal expression in DJMax Respect remains as vibrant as ever.
DJMax Respect is a captivating addition to the series, combining the nostalgic appeal of beloved tracks from previous titles with fresh content and an engaging online component. Whether you’re a longtime fan or new to the franchise, DJMax Respect offers an immersive and entertaining rhythm game experience that will keep you entertained for hours.
Not a hardcore DJMax player but I love this game
I was introduced to the DJMax series when an old friend kindly lent me her PSP, and I spent weeks immersed in the entertaining gameplay of Portable 1 and Portable 3. Curiosity got the best of me and I couldn’t resist trying out other titles on my brother’s PSP, including Hot Tunes and Black Square.
When I think back to Black Square, my memories are a bit fuzzy, but one thing remains crystal clear – the exhilarating and daunting challenges of its Mission mode.
A few years later, DJMax Technika Arcade made its debut, revolutionizing gameplay with its innovative touchscreen feature. I couldn’t contain my excitement when I realized that it included some of my favorite songs from the PSP versions. Among the standout tracks, it’s hard to decide which is the ultimate banger, La Campanella Nu Rave or D3. Both tunes are ridiculously catchy, and both have added an element of excitement to my gaming sessions.
However, I must admit that the community surrounding the game fell short of expectations. Some players were overly competitive and rude to newcomers, which dampened the overall experience.
In hindsight, I can’t help but feel a little regret that I didn’t get a Platinum Crew card as a treasured keepsake. The designs on those cards were absolutely stunning, and having one would have been an incredible memento of my journey into the fascinating DJMax universe.
To wrap up DJMax Respect
Going back to the game itself, DJMax Respect has already released five major DLC packs, and these are the ones I’ve purchased so far. However, I have plans to get the remaining DLC packs in the near future:
- Trilogy DLC Pack
- Metro Project DLC Pack 1: Clazziquai
- Metro Project DLC Pack 2: Technika 1
DJMax Respect caters to both experienced players and newcomers alike, offering an enjoyable gaming experience despite the occasional challenge posed by certain songs or the mission mode.
Looking ahead, I’m excited about the possibility of a DJMax Global team releasing a plethora of songs from previous titles, ensuring a constant stream of updates. Exciting news has reached me that Technika Q is scheduled for release in March 2019.
