The sequel to the disgustingly underrated Bust A Groove, BAG 2 offers improvements in almost every area.
The dazzling character graphics of the original have been improved, with new moves and outfits for the returning characters. The difficulty level has been changed so that you can now choose how hard the input sequences will be. This is also available for each competitor in 2-player games, so that handicaps can be set. The game itself has also improved with enhancements to the input interface and changes to the attack and defense system.
While most American gamers will never notice the changes from the import version, we still feel obligated to note a few. A number of songs have been re-recorded into English from the original Japanese lyrics. While some songs pull this off, others lose some of the flow that they originally had, making them harder to dance to. The other major difference is that the "Dancing Heroes" game-show styled endings have been completely removed (Ouch)! Granted, they were completely weird and generally moronic, but some of the unlockable characters now have no story behind them. Each character still has an ending, but it only shows them performing before the crowd of "Dancing Heroes."
Even with these changes, Bust A Groove 2 is still one of the best-executed, most enjoyable dance games on the market. The two-player mode is unequaled and the music is ultra cool (but not quite as cool as the first BAG). Simply a must have title for any Playstation owner. O yea, and chicks dig it!
