The Blues Brothers is a video game based on the movie homónima (although in Spain one titled Loose grapes to all rhythm), directed by John Landis, led by John Belushi and Dan Arkroyd and released in 1980. The video game would come eleven years after the hand of Titus Software for diverse platforms (PC, Commodore Amiga, NES, Game Boy, Amstrad CPC, Commodore 64 and Atari ST), being one of the platforms the most entertaining that we can be at the beginning of the 90.
As in the movie, The Blues Brothers is led by Jake and Elwood, whom we will be able to choose indiscriminately and even to take part two players of cooperative form. Since it was of waiting, two brothers have turned to get tangled up, so they will have to go fleeing of the claws of the law along five levels that compose the game. This way, we will have to happen for a shopping center, flee of the prison, to cross the river and to reach the big city to be free.
The video game two-dimensional outstanding figure appears before us as platforms with side sight, where we have to avoid enemies and pitfalls that cross in our way. Our personages protagonists have no skills beyond running and jumping, so they will have to use of the different objects that are to be able to advance. This way, our principal attack weapon there will be the boxes that we take and throw our enemies; we will use helium balloons to reach the highest places; and thanks to an umbrella we will be able to descend gently from big heights.
In each of the levels we will have to gather a special object to be able to finish it (a guitar, a microphone) reaching a pennant that indicates the exit. Also we will be able to be gathering different discs of vinyl that, on having come to certain number, will increase our life. Nevertheless also there exists broken vinyl that the discs book-keeper will reduce to us.
The graphs are created from a comical point of view, with an entertaining representation of two protagonists. Quite the personages move fluently and a speed that provokes a very dynamic game experience, increasing the diversion (that might turns reduced by the repetitive of his development). The designs of the stages are not anything of another world, but they fulfill his function at the time of ambientar the game. With regard to the sonorous paragraph, to emphasize the sound-track with some topics of the movie, although in a few improvable versions. Also, the above mentioned sound-track is the only sound that has the game, by what some effect is lacked.
After this first title, in 1993 The Blues Brothers would be thrown: Jukebox Adventure for PC, Super Nintendo and Game Boy, with a system of very similar game. Both qualifications would appear in a compilation thrown by Titus Software in 1994 under the title of 10 Great Games. With the throwing of the movie homónima, in 2000 Blues Brothers would be thrown 2000 of exclusive form for Nintendo 64. The latter game uses a system of game similar to Mario 64 but it was not provided with the support either of public or of criticism.
