Red Bull BC One
Red Bull BC One is a Nintendo DS game based on a break dancing competition
with the same name. It’s a mix of a rhythm action game and a puzzle game where
players get to compete against different break dancers from around the world.
Before starting the game players gets to design their own dancer. This is done
in the dressing room where the players can customize their characters in
different categories. It’s possible to choose different body styles,
hairstyles and clothing. Playing the career mode will let players unlock more
clothing that their character can use.
The actual gameplay consists of performing different dance moves. These moves
are shown on the top screen and are done by playing a simple connect the dots
puzzle game on the lower screen. Dots of different colour are shown across the
screen and the player has to create shapes by connecting at least three dots
of the same colour using the stylus. For each turn the player need to create
as many shapes as possible before the time runs out. There is also special
star shaped dots. If these are included in a shape the player will perform
special moves and gain more points. It’s also possible to create perfects,
which is the largest possible shape of the turn. By creating multiple perfects
the player will gain multipliers that will multiply the overall score.
There’s a couple of game modes. The main one is the career mode where players
get to battle against different b-boys with the goal to reach the final of the
Red Bull BC One competition. There’s also the free mode where players can
improve their scores of a specific battle. The game also has a multiplayer
mode where players can compete against friends in a one-on-one battle via
multi card play.
