It is part of the Blues Brothers series. Player 1 also made Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, Robotron 64 and Milo's Astro Lanes for the N64.

Pick it if…

  • you want to run, jump and explore
  • you have time for a weekend project (roughly 6–20 hours)
  • you have a friend to play against
  • you've played the N64 hits and want something less obvious

Maybe skip it if…

  • you get frustrated by precise jumps and limited lives

What playing Blues Brothers 2000 is like

Platformers are all about movement: running, jumping and timing your way across levels full of gaps, enemies and secrets. The best ones feel great to control within seconds and then slowly teach you to master every leap.

Tip for newcomers: Retro platformers often have limited lives and few checkpoints. Learn one level at a time, look for hidden 1-ups, and don't be shy about using a save feature when it is available.
