Source-derived summary

DJ Max Fever (Korean: 디제이맥스 피버, dijeimaegseu pibeo; abbr.: DMF) is a music game for the PlayStation Portable developed by Pentavision and PM Studios. It was released in 2009. Although the franchise has made several appearances in Asia, DJ Max Fever is the first DJMax released in the United States and Europe. The game is a compilation of DJMax Portable (2006) and DJMax Portable 2 (2007) along with additional features. By decision of PM Studios, it is the only title in the DJMax series with a space between words "DJ" and "Max". A digital version of the game was released in 2010 on PlayStation Network, but later removed due to licensing expiration.

Gameplay

A player chooses a song, a video will start to play in the background, and the gear screen will display falling notes. As the notes cross the line in the gear, the player must hit the corresponding button, to score points. The objective of the game is to earn a high score and ranks in order to unlock more items such as avatars, songs, gears and more.

In terms of gameplay, DJ Max Fever is similar to other music games like Beatmania.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“DJ Max Fever” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Fever, video and game provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 12, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q5205378. The first chronological checks are 2009, 2006, 2007 and 2010.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
