I hope to goodness this is online for that EyeToy compatability :lol

 

[the year 20XX]

My life just got better!

 

[Teknopathetic]

There's no way I will be satisfied with this. I'd really like to, but I dunno if I can see them doing dancing properly. And they better have as many styles as they can, outside of just bboying.

Aha...Epyx's Break Street was the first game I thought of when I spotted this thread. :lol

Hey, what's the over/under on some sandy-vagina'd soccer mom suing Ubisoft when her fool kid breaks his neck in her living room playing this game?

 

[AndreasNystrom]

if one of the tracks is afrika bambaata - planet funk... otherwise its crap..

(KRAFTWERK - TRANS EUROPE EXPRESS ROCKS!)

 

[Teknopathetic]

Bishop: If Halos are one of the moves, I'd place money on at least 5 kids getting injured and having their moms sued (And Jack Thompson saying this game and dancing in general are the devil).

 

[bishoptl]

My mom used to tell me as a kid that dancing was "the vertical expression of horizontal desires" and forbade me to go to any of 'em. Sneaking around in high school to get your groove on = stressful!

 

[Teknopathetic]

:lol, that's golden.

 

[Jim]

Actual screens this time... still can't compare to Break Street.

 

[Teknopathetic]

Aww, that just looks like DDR/ITG :/

 

[Bojangles]

That's got nothing on Epyx Breakdance for the commie:

Come to think of it.. it was actually a pretty cool game.. it was just a simon rip off where instead of pressing coloured buttons, you mirrored breakdance moves.

Hmm, now methinks SC5 and Feel the Magic might have been inspired!

Ubi missed a perfect opportunity for a cross-promotional license!

Out in the street
You don´t survive by being weak
This is our time
Walls were made for us to climb

Don´t you try to lock us out, cause we´re breaking down the doors
And, oh, we´re prepared to fight, baby

There´s no stoppin us (no stoppin)
No one does it better (no one does it better)
There´s no stoppin us (no stoppin)
Nobody doesn´t matter

Long overdue
No playing games or being used
Something to prove
It´s more than just a dream come true

We have waited far too long for this moment to arrive

There´s no stoppin us (no stoppin)
No one does it better (no one does it better)
There´s no stoppin us (no stoppin)
Nobody doesn´t matter

There´s no stoppin us (no stoppin)
No one does it better
There´s no stoppin us (no stoppin)
Nobody doesn´t matter

We have waited far too long for this moment to arrive

There´s no stoppin us (no stoppin)
No one does it better
There´s no stoppin us (no stoppin)
Nobody doesn´t matter

(Repeat chorus)

This reminds me of when I was growing up inside the Amish breaking scene

Just hiphop? I wanna hear 80's electro in any breakdancing game I play...

 

[sprsk]

Not that im dissing breakin 2 or anything.

ollie and jerry <3

 

[Shaheed79]

The PS2 cannot portray nor contain the awsomeness that is breakin.

"Bishop: If Halos are one of the moves, I'd place money on at least 5 kids getting injured and having their moms sued (And Jack Thompson saying this game and dancing in general are the devil)."

Nope, I used to be into popping, though.
