DJ Max is an action-rhythm video game created by the South Korean company Pentavision Entertainment. Online version was released in 2004, and single-player version of the game for the PSP DJ Max Portable has been released in January 2006. On March 30, 2007, Pentavision launched DJ Max Portable 2 (containing 60 songs, and more than 150 songs in OST mode) which includes disc link, fever mode, and new features such as items.
In 2008, two new games in the series have been announced. The first is DJ Max Fever, a combination of both DJ Max Portable and DJ Max Portable 2, made for release in the United States of America for the PSP, and is the first in the series to do so. The second is DJ Max Technika, an arcade-only game that will have a top screen for spectators and a bottom touch screen and play like Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan (known in the US as Elite Beat Agents). This will also be the first DJ Max game to have songs with Music Videos that have fully rendered 3D graphics (excluding Whiteblue, the opening to DJ Max Portable 2 which has the song Your Own Miracle, and A.I.).
DJMax was originally in service in Korea, Japan, and China. The three different versions included localized content (generally, popular songs of each country). Service in Korea ended on March 21, 2008[1], while the Japanese version was discontinued 10 days later on March 31 [2]. However, news came from GameCon saying that DJ MAX Online will come back as DJ MAX Trilogy. It will be an online based experience, which it will include patch updates, downloadable content, 120+ songs + exclusives, network battle and Regional War system and more.

Gameplay

The player must press their keys in time with the melody, rhythm or beat, as indicated by scrolling symbols. In this way it is similar to Beatmania, but most Korean players relate to the game more as "EZ2DJ" for most of its composers came from that game. There are two types of key patterns, 5-Key and 7-Key, and three basic difficulty levels: easy, normal and hard. There is a special difficulty level called "SC" (Super Crazy) for certain songs. DJMAX players can play by themselves in Training Mode, or challenge with other online players through the Battle Mode. Two default key layouts are provided for both 5-Key and 7-Key, but the player is also allowed to customized their own key layouts. In addition, players can customize their avatars and game skins(called 'Gear'). Avatars and gears have their unique stat modifiers.
On the Playstation Portable versions, Players are presented with 2-Button, 4-Button, 6-Button, 8-Button and 4-Button FX [Included R and L Buttons]
Each song is accompanied by a simple background animation. As an example here, "End of the Moonlight" includes scenes of a winged girl flying across a night sky.
The latest PSP version DJ Max Fever mainly used the 2nd version skin. Introduced the new Entire Control System (DJ Max) and Auto Correction System from DJ Max Portable Black Square. The songs in this version are picked from 1st and 2nd versions with 1 new song. Due to some reasons, this version has a few bugs that may cause the game crash or freeze.
