Konami's direct sequel, Bust A Groove 2 never reached Europe and stayed confined to the US and Japanese markets, making it the scarcer half of the NTSC-U pair. Expanded roster and track list, though reception was cooler than the original. Its value rests mainly on the scarcity of complete and sealed copies, with loose discs still trading sensibly.
Is Bust A Groove 2 still worth playing in 2026?
A sequel to Enix and Metro's dance game, Bust A Groove 2 enriches the rhythm formula with new characters, extra tracks and attacks to throw off your opponent mid duel. The funky style, the slick choreographies and the competitive spirit stay intact, with a little more depth. The modest production and limited distribution outside Japan reduce its fame. An excellent dance game to recommend for fans of snappy rhythm and nostalgics of old fashioned PlayStation groove.
