B-Boy to Release in the U.S. (PS2)
The breakdancing title makes it to the country where it all began.
Official Press Release | May 5, 2008

SouthPeak Games announced today that it will distribute B-Boy for PlayStation 2 computer and entertainment system and PSP (PlayStation Portable) system in the U.S this summer. B-Boy allows players to prove their skills as they challenge the world's greatest breakdancers.

"B-Boy is the only game that gives players the opportunity to become premiere breakers," said Katie Morgan, Executive Vice President at SouthPeak Games. "The game's fantastic playability, dead-on authenticity and high production values give it a style all its own. While it remains true to its roots of the scene, it maintains a feel that gamers will love."

B-Boy continuously challenges players as they progress from low key neighborhood street battles all the way to high stakes world championships. While working on their skills, they will also have to confront obstacles such as building their crew and their rep by battling real-life b-boys from Europe, Asia, and North America. Pull off impossible moves and audacious combos in order to rise in rank and become number one.

Every in-game move is motion-captured from expert breakers and combined with an advanced control and animation system allowing full control of power moves, stylish freezes and flair driven combos. Players will also be able to compete in style by customizing their own b-boy or b-girl with famous brands like adidas.

Published by Evolved Games and developed by FreeStyleGames in collaboration with legend Crazy Legs, B-Boy is the first truly competitive breakdancing game, featuring over 800 motion-captured moves. The game includes Crazy Legs and the Rock Steady Crew and features 22 authentic venues including Red Bull: King of the Ring, Freestyle Sessions, UK B-Boy Championships and IBE.

Like a needle and a record, b-boys are nothing without their music that drives their culture. B-Boy also possesses a classic rich soundtrack of 35 hip-hop and funk tracks, including The Black Eyed Peas' "Bringing It Back", James Brown's "Get On The Good Foot", Cypress Hill's "The Phuncky Feel One" and Eric B and Rakim's "Don't Sweat The Technique" just to name a few.

Battles will be won and lost; reputations will be made and destroyed. Anyone can play but only the best will make it to the top.

^ It's still not in the UNITED STATES, as the threadstarter mentioned. And the game has been in The Netherlands (Bennieboy) for OVER a year.

Anyway, there have been several threads on this subject. It is going to hit the states soon.

[AkumaGoukiOne]

man FUCK , they should release on the PS3 and 360 yo, damn man why they STILL trying to release it here on PS2?

oh well i can't complain though atleast they finally released it here in the States.

[bboyemass]

if they wanted to release it on PS3 or 360, then they'd have to redo the formatting and everything... in other words, it'd take at least an extra year. lol. i'm just happy we'll finally have it in the US. and it's only goin to be like $20!!

I don't agree. I downloaded the PSP iso a few months back and I thought the game was pretty damn good. Did you play it for PSP or PS2?

[flying_steps]

lol both r good but u can cheat for the psp, just open the disc drive and the opponents get no beats to hit, then close when ur breakin haha
i never did this but i tried it, works well. i rape in that game so it dont matter

AND YOUR ALL BARRED BBOY THE GAME HAS BEEN OUT SINCE LIKE.....2006
poor americans, i would thought u would be the first release since theres like 4-5 american bboys in there....

[VicValSwift]

lol. downloaded the iso long time ago, played it.

It's alright.. gets really boring after a little bit. I liked the soundtrack though haha.

[Ziveeman]

It's dope until you beat the game, then you realize that it's really really linear.

[FlimFlam]

Looks pretty lame to me, tbh.
