Play Blues Brothers 2000 Online

Summary

Blues Brothers 2000 drops you into a cramped prison cell as Elwood, and the first mission is a frantic dash to free the band before the Battle of the Bands kicks off in less than two days. You rescue the missing guitarist, take down the corrupt warden, and then head to Chicago to track down Mac and Buster, stitching the crew back together for the final showdown. The game plays like a classic 3‑D platformer, borrowing the film’s vibe without trying to retell the plot, and it was finally shipped in Europe on October 13 2000 and in North America on November 17 2000 after a series of development shuffles that saw Player 1 take the reins from Titus’s French studio. Critics were split: GameRankings hovered around 51 % and Metacritic barely scraped 32 / 100, with Nintendo Power giving a modest 6.8/10 while Official Nintendo Magazine praised the solo run but called the multiplayer a let‑down. In short, it’s a nostalgic platform romp that never quite captured Mario’s magic, but it still offers a quirky slice of Blues Brother lore for fans willing to look past its rough edges.

Storyline

In Blues Brothers 2000 for the Nintendo 64, you begin as Elwood locked in Joliet prison, tasked with re‑forming the band before the Battle of the Bands in under two days.

After rescuing guitarist Cab and defeating the warden, you race through Chicago rooftops and reach Willie’s Club, where Mac is being held captive. Defeating Willie frees Mac, who tells you that Buster has escaped to an old graveyard.

The graveyard reveals an evil tree that has trapped Buster in a cage, leading to the final battle in a swamp.
