PlayStation playas get served a selection of hardcore hip-hop to break down with their best virtual moves.

B-Boy revolves around head-to-head dance offs, with over 800 motion-captured moves to master. Winning a break dance battle promotes the player's custom character up the ranks to the next challenge, and also gradually unlocks a selection of adidas brand clothing and accessories. Dance battles take place in more than 20 virtual venues, and the game's soundtrack includes 35 licensed tracks from artists including Black Eyed Peas, The Gang, and James Brown. B-Boy was developed in collaboration with old-school breakdancing luminaries Crazy Legs and DJ Hooch.

B-Boy is a dance battle game based around the Hip Hop element of b-boying (AKA break-dancing). The game has taken care to be true to the culture, featuring real b-boys such as Crazy Legs and recent UK Break-dancing Championship winner Mouse. Music is a mixture of classic b-boy themes such as The Mexican by Babe Ruth.

The gameplay is a combination of fighting game mechanics with a music rhythm game. The player pulls off different combinations to accrue points and defeat opponents (human and cpu). In deference to the global popularity of B-Boying, the game takes place at global locations from Japan to Europe to New York. There are 21 venues in total. In the B-Boy Life mode, you have to gather a crew and battle against superstars. You can also create your own character and define the moves.

Features:
Pit your rhythm skills against 40 characters
21 authentic venues from around the world
Includes 35 licensed hip-hop and funk tracks
