The Good
Before there was Dance Dance Revolution, there was Bust a Groove. It's sort of like a dancing fighting title. You punch buttons in time with the music, and the person who pulls off the best moves wins the round.
The music is done by some of Japan's top artists.. at least, in 1998. It's all different styles of dance music.
The Bad
This game has become a sort of cult classic, and finding a copy nowadays is going to cost you more than the game originally sold for.
The Bottom Line
If you have some spare cash to shell out, Bust a Groove is worth every cent. It's a blast at parties as it is easy to pick up, yet offers hours of entertainment.
