Is Bust-A-Groove still worth playing in 2026?

A rhythm and dance game from Enix and Metro, Bust A Groove pits two dancers who chain combos to the beat to dominate the floor, in a funky style packed with personality. The stylish choreographies, the catchy soundtrack and the duel spirit give the genre a unique flavour, far from a simple stream of arrows. The timing learning curve and a small roster call for a period of adjustment. A rhythmic gem to recommend for fans of dance games and of 90s groove.
