Bust A Groove 2 vs Space Channel 5: Part 2

Bust A Groove 2 builds on its predecessor’s hybrid of music and combat, letting players groove to new tracks while delivering powerful dance attacks. Set a year after the original, the game adds fresh characters, costumes, and a larger song list for both solo and head‑to‑head play.

Using rhythm‑based combat, players must match moves to the beat and free the captives before the music stops.
