This game is a great buy! If you are a bust a move fan, you will love this and thank me for recommending it to you. There are four different ways you can play - you can play a puzzle game, against the computer, against a friend with GameBoy link, and you can take the bust a move challenge. The best part is, all of these variations are a blast to play. It's very addictive and never gets boring. The only complaint I have is that if you do not have a worm light, it can be difficult to distinguish the different colors of the bubbles, but after playing a couple of rounds you get used to it. I have taught many people how to play bust a move and every single person became an addict like me.

This is a awsome game. Like no other. All the bust a moves are great. I'm always playing them. Just to let parents know, this game keeps kids busy for hours. Well, any way this is my all time favorite GameBoy game.

Everybody loves a good brain teasing puzzle game. What makes the puzzle game even better is when it's on a handheld system like the Game Boy or the Game Gear. Along with Tetris, Flipull, Puzzle League, etc, Bust-A-Move joins in with it's unique puzzling gameplay on the go. Previously released in arcades, the Playstation, and the Dreamcast, Bust-A-Move 4 is no different from its predecessors, and that's not a bad thing.

Puzzle Mode has you go advance through lots and lots of puzzles, but with an end. In Normal and Expert difficulties, there is a letter pyramid. You start at letter A, having to go all the way to Z or Y. In each letter, you must complete a number of puzzles. In Easy mode, there are only 5 puzzles.

You know the basic gameplay: Shoot colored bubbles into others with the same color. Match them to pop them, and the ones below will drop, too. This addicting premise will keep lots of players hooked as it did for me. It is a clever twist on Bubble Bobble's bubble-shooting platforming gameplay (In case if you didn't already know, the Bust-A-Move series is a spin-off series of Bubble Bobble).

You can also play against a CPU in a Vs Mode. The matches are only sometimes challenging, though, so I'd say this is the weak point of the game.

Challenge Mode is kind of like Puzzle Mode, except that this is just for a high score, although it does have your character travel in numbers 1-5, similarly to the letter pyramid. Even if you lose, however, you still move on. That's how you can tell it's based on scoring rather than progression.

All of these modes are very fun to play (Even the CPU Vs Mode, in a way). Even if you think they wouldn't differ much from each other, that doesn't mean that Bust-A-Move 4 isn't a must-have. After all, it's an extremely addicting puzzle game. If you never owned a handheld version of a Bust-A-Move game, this is one to buy.

Bust-A-Move is the best game for your Game Boy. YOu need to play in the light or you can't see the different colored bubbles. You can play against your friend(s) or the computer. You can get secret players after you win a certain amount of wins in a row.

I am still not sure what I think about bust a move in general, but my mom loves it. She claims this version is not as good as the super nintendo original, but it still has her hooked to my game boy (which is better than being hooked to the TV all the time.) Irregardless, if you liked the other bust a move games this one will be enjoyed as well.
