As you would control Mario, in the same manner you are Elwood Blues, and you’re ‘on a mission from God.’ Your job is to work your way through the levels in search of band members. On your way, you must collect music notes and build up your repertoire of songs so that you can be the best in the ‘Battle of the Bands!’
Blues Brothers 2000 takes place in four worlds, including Joliet State Prison, the city of Chicago, a Graveyard full of ghosts, and the Swamp, where the Battle of the Bands will take place. You will have to punch, kick, and jump your way to victory. On the way you will have to fight bosses, as well as improve your musical knowledge with little mini-games.
Blues Brothers 2000 is actually a pretty fun game, but lacks any great content. The game has the strange (yet enjoyable) feel and gameplay of a side-scroller, but takes place in full 3D worlds. Along your way, you will also have a bit of Parappa the Rappa-type play, where you will have to use button combinations that represent dance steps as you learn new songs (which is like the multiplayer type play). BB 2000 is actually quite entertaining, but not a game for everyone. It seems to cater toward the younger crowd, which is odd, since it was we older gamers who grew up watching the Blues Brothers originally.
