I think there are already games around that feature breakdancers, but it plays like DDR or the more popular guitar hero where you would follow a sequence of lights or patterns, with correctly timed press of each of those pattern. The more successful you are at predicting the timing of the pattern the more complex moves your avatar will do on the screen. Guitar Hero took DDR's idea and evolved it to a new era of entertainment for home systems. Now with the release of rockband, the movement of instrument gaming has reached its climax. But the closest game that would come to breakdancing moves would be DDR which you can find at almost every arcade environment. Games like those are very physical and is a good work out, games like those can get a out of shape person in shape within weeks, the developers that came out with that, thought up a very good idea and implemented a very well done game. Now how they will evolve that into something more we will have to just wait till the coming years when more new next generation games will be released.

Hey I usta be a bboy back in the day. In fact my friends and I, though we didn't have a name, had a breakdancing web site. It was geared toward beginners. We had some moves we learned and some pictures of us at local dances. It's awkward now days there are all kinds of dance like movies. I don't know what my current gf (let alone my ex's) and kids would think of me as a break dancer.

On the bboy game or design concepts. I didn't not know of any free 3d modeling software I can get my hands on back then. Now there everywhere. But I made some bboy 3d models using AutoCad R14/2000. But a game sounds cool.
