Most helpful review B-Boy

  • The kind of thing we all wished for but never thought they would do....

    Rated - 5.0 stars

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    This is the kind of game that those who have been b-boying (breakdancing) have spoken of for years. Its always been hard to imagine how it would ever work but Freestyle Games have really captures the technical side of breakin.

    The way that moves link and are transitioned into shows real attention to detail. It boogles the mind what kind of juggling the programmers had to do to create so many transitions for this game!

    Techincally this game is brilliant but there are minor gripes. Firstly the lack of personality from your created character or from some of the other characters in game. If you don't know who some of the b-boys are (of which there are 12 real ones and 28 made up), you might miss the physical character which is present in their movements. Speech might have helped with that.

    Also battling all the time may get dull for some (although I have yet to get bored!).

    When two people play then the fun really starts. The various options are present but the real laughs come from making fun of your friend and serving them with fresh moves!

    Overall this is a great package for anyone who is a b-boy or has ever thought of getting into it. For a someone with a casual intrest they may find the intial difficulty of getting used to the mechanics somewhat overwhelming but stick with it and you will find an amazing technical achievement!
