 Addicting little game September 27, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Our family has very much enjoyed this game. It's not perfect, that's for sure, but we have found it to be highly addicting and fun for us and our two oldest kids.
First off, it's not a high end game and is probably over priced for what it is. However, it has been worth the money we've spent on it. We like to have some games for unwinding, and this is perfect for that. It doesn't require a ton of mental energy or long hours of play in order to progress somewhere. It's simply a game to plink around on and relax while doing so. My husband has enjoyed the endless, I enjoy the puzzles, and the kids enjoy the competition. It's easy enough for our 5 year to play, but challenging enough for my 9 year old to stay interested. We all agree, the shooting section is a wasted option. It's pretty much pointless.
Bust a Move does need some modifications though. If you're in the middle of a set of puzzles, there is no option to exit to the main menu without loosing a puzzle. The competitive screen is so busy it's virtually impossible to have any real strategy. It's pretty much just a shoot and see where it lands. Lastly, there seems to be some problems with the control when the bubbles are in the warning zone. It's kinda hit or miss as to whether you'll be able to aim the controls to pop the bubbles on the side. This problem seems to get worse the lower the batteries get, but will happen within 5 minutes on newly charged batteries.
It still needs some programming work, but over all, we've found it to be an addicting little game that we've all enjoyed.

This game, as mentioned above, is entertaining, but it has its flaws. It is pretty much what you would expect from a Bust a Move game, shooting bubbles and blowing apart the mess of bubbles above. It's got the simple fun, and can easily be picked up and put down at any time.
However, as mentioned in previous comments, the game feels a bit shallow- it will get a bit dull pretty quickly. There is a lack of change of scenery, for one- the same background music is used level after level, as is the background for a while. Multiplayer becomes less of a "play like you'd play puzzle" and more of a "shoot all the UFOs with special items" type of game. That can be fun anyway, with all the stuff going on, especially with lots of people/computers (In other words, lots of chaos). The shooting mode is also very underdone- it's very short and doesnt have any depth to it. They could have also implemented some sort of storyline as well- it'd help to tie it all together at least a little bit, while breaking some of the monotony that builds up.
My main complaint is that of the lack of support for Gamecube controllers. It can't be that hard to program that in- ESPECIALLY since the classic controller had been implemented... So that leaves me unable to play with the family for the moment, only computers- until I get another wii mote or classic control.
At this price, it's ok, though I'd say its worth about five bucks less. I definitely wouldn't pay $50, as other games are priced. If you've got some spare cash and feel like messing around with this, sure. But don't get all eager about it, either.

This is a great game in the same style as Snood. I have alot of fun just relaxing and playing this game for hours.
 Diehard fans will enjoy, new players will wonder? May 29, 2007

This is a classic game, and any addition to the legacy of Bubble Bobble has to be added to my collection. However, the game is extremely difficult to control at first, and only gets marginally better with practice. The other reviewers who wonder if this game was truly meant to be motion sensitive are right... there is no reason, other than to make Nintendo happy. Great series, but certainly the Wii version is not the best installment to date.
Fun, but sadly lacking. May 28, 2007

I used to play the arcade version of Bust-a-Move for hours in the student union of my university. I played the PS2 version at a friends hours for days on end. After getting a Wii and hearing it was coming out, I immediately preordered it and waited anxiously for it to arrive.
Right out of the box I wanted to play 2 player vs. against my fiancee and we were hugely dissappointed that the 2 player game was vastly different from the previous versions, and not in a good way. The new vs system is harder to follow because all the action is taking place on one screen instead of the previous split screen. Also, there are tons of distracting UFO's flying around, giving each player different advantages.
The single player game was good and I enjoyed using the Wii controller to shoot. The control was quite intuitive but a little quirky when aiming far to either side on 'wide' boards. Occasionally, when aiming far left or right the pointer would jerk back to the center of the screen.
Overall, I'd recommend this game only if you're a die-hard Bust-a-Move fan like myself. I enjoyed playing through the 250 levels offered in about a week. But if you're looking for the intense 2-player vs of previous versions, wait until the next edition comes out.
