Bust A Groove – PlayStation Game & Box & Manual – VG+

Bust A Groove is the legendary rhythm-dance battle game from Enix that combines fighting game timing, stylish motion-captured choreography, and an energetic soundtrack. Each character has their own dance style, stage, and music track, and players battle by chaining directional inputs on the correct beats.

The gameplay revolves around 4-beat inputs (↑ ↓ ← → + button) to build combos. If you hit commands perfectly, your dancer performs flashier moves, taunts opponents, and unleashes Fever Time, where the music and animations escalate into wild sequences.

The cast is iconic, each with distinct personality:

⭐ Playable Characters

• Heat – hip-hop b-boy

• Kelly – 70s disco queen

• Shorty & Cola – pink tracksuit girl + pet mouse

• Hamm – country rocker

• Gas-O – gas mask raver

• Pinky – funk diva

• Strike – breakdance fighter

• Capoeira twins – Brazilian rhythm duo

• Robo-Z – secret robot boss dancer

Stages reflect their characters: neon clubs, rooftops, diners, cyber arenas, and dance TV sets.

⭐ Key Features

• Motion-captured dance animations

• House, funk, disco, hip-hop, and techno soundtrack

• “Versus” dance battle mode
