Product Description

Product Description

Bearing no relation to the Young MC hit of a few years back, Bust-A-Move 4 is an installment in the ongoing puzzle series that combines the matching fun of Tetris with the elimination action of Breakout. The object of the game is simple. Colored bubbles form stalactite-like clusters from the top of the game area. Aim and shoot bubbles at the clusters so that when three like-colored bubbles link together, they pop and any bubbles suspended below them fall. By eliminating all the bubbles, you advance to the next round. The game is made all the more challenging by a game clock that advances the clusters downward and special bubbles that either help pop or protect bubbles.

This Dreamcast version of Bust-A-Move 4 features high-resolution graphics, single-player and head-to-head challenge play, and an edit mode that allows players to design their own puzzles.

Endless hours have been spent by me and my friends into this game over the last couple of days. It never gets old. It may seem a bit childish but it is extremely difficult at some points of the game. there are a few secret characters to unlock also. .....................

This review is from: Bust-a-Move 4 (Video Game)

Being a huge puzzle game fan, I remember spending quarter after quarter on this game during my college days. Imagine my surprise when I found this available for the Dreamcast at a price that's a fraction of what I've spent at the arcade! If you're a puzzle game fan, you'll love this. The underlying concept of the game is as simple as the classic Tetris game, with different levels and types of gameplay that allow for varying degrees of challenge. One new feature that's different from the arcade version is the introduction of pulleys in the "puzzle" modes, which operate under a combination of the laws of physics, and color clustering. I found the head-to-head player vs computer gameplay hilarious, being somewhat modeled after the Mortal Combat-type games, which rewards numerous wins with new characters in the game.

Though, not much has changed in the Bust-A-Move series, it is still excellent. The games graphics and sounds aren't spectacular, though the gameplay of this version is incredible. I was very glad to see Bust-A-Move had made it to the Sega Dreamcast.
