This is a collection of some of the best tracks from not only the game, but for the breakin style as a whole, these are the some of the tunes used by breakers as B-Boying became popular, giving it a strong retro feel to it with relevance to dance tracks today.

I enjoyed listening to this collction of tracks taken from the game as they all fit in well with the B-Boy scene, however, I would have to say that for a game which focused so much on the Hip Hop genre, the prescence of that music is almost non-existent, therefore not representing the game in the best way possible. I did like the funk feel of it as this is how Hip Hop came about and in my opinion they did find the best examples of this influence for the CD.
