Feature: Impressions Go! Go! Break Steady (XB360)

Don't get served in Microsoft's upcoming rhythm game.

Xbox Live Arcade has a plethora of games, from shooting to puzzles to poker. Now you can add break dancing to the list, thanks to Go! Go! Break Steady, a cool looking rhythm game, due out this summer. Whether or not it'll yank us away from Poker Smash and N+ remains to be seen, but thus far, it looks pretty cool.

Go! Go! is a 2-D rhythm game that combines music with Zuma-like puzzle elements. You select from six characters and then enter the All City Tournament in the hopes of becoming the craziest break-dancing fool in history. As you rise to the top of the scene, you'll unlock 20 music tracks, new characters and levels.

Here's how it works. As your character dances their brains out, groups of buttons that correspond to the Xbox 360 controller (B, X, A, Y) come in from all directions and move towards the center of the screen. Your job is to press those buttons as they pass through a marker, similar to how you hit arrows in Dance Dance Revolution. Do this successfully and the game transitions to a puzzle game that bears a resemblance to Zuma, with you shooting at targets and gaining power-ups.

In addition to the single player campaign, there's also Endurance mode, where you play until the game destroys you, and multiplayer that lets you compete against a friend. In addition, there's cooperative play where one person matches the beats while the other solves the puzzles.

We couldn't play Go! Go!, so we're not sure if it's any good, but were down for some break dancing, and can't wait to serve fools online. Look for it this summer.
