The Blues Brothers is a platform game based on the band The Blues Brothers, where the object is to evade police and other vigilantes to get to a blues concert. The characters have the ability to pick up boxes to throw them at enemies. Each level is a variation on the jumping theme, with the characters finding a necessary attribute (e.g. a guitar) somewhere in the level. The sixth and final level ends on-stage. The game's soundtrack consists of music from the movie. Dimitris Yerasimos composed the music for all versions of the game except for the Game Boy, where Thorsten Mitschele composed the music.
