Critic Reviews

78 Antagonist
To my disappointment, the sequel didn't turn out as cool as the first one, but it's still an addictive game with most of the characters that fans of the original have come to know and lust, er, love.
75 Happy Puppy
A solid game for those who are looking for something fun and different, and it's not as complicated as Konami's "Dance Dance Revolution."
73 GameSpot
Given what "Bust A Groove 2" could have been, it's somewhat disappointing that "Bust A Groove 2" is such a plain rehash -- a solid game in itself but a lacking sequel.
70 GamePro
Hardcore "Bust A Groove" fans will probably like the sequel more than neophyte PlayStation dancers, who they might get more out of the original.
68 IGN
Not a conclusive improvement on its predecessor, and as a single-player game, it becomes thoroughly mindless after far too little time to justify the expense.
60 CNET Gamecenter
Only those who have rhythm and coordination and don't mind acting a little silly will truly enjoy this game.
58 Gaming Age
This game just seems shallow in the gameplay department.
50 Daily Radar
The music isn't quite as good (as its predecessor), and the gameplay has been simplified so much that it fast becomes mindless and quite repetitive.
