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. .....................

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.

With its several variations, and its charming Pokemon-like creatures, this puzzle game will bring hours and hours of entertainment. Think of it as an upside-down Tetris, but with many more ingredients to it: you have to burst bubbles above you by shooting more bubbles of the same color, until you reach three bubbles of the same color side-by-side. If you're good enough, you can rip out entire blocks of bubbles with a few moves. It's already very fun to play solo, but even more fun to bring in friends and do a two-player challenge. I have to say this game and Bomber Man are starting to make me a bit of an addict to puzzle games.

This game was alot of fun to play, but you might get too addicted to it. It shows that the most simple games made are the most fun, like tetris, dr. mario, pacman, and this game.

I love Bust a Move. I always have and I always will. This installment has awesome, crisp graphics and goofy, super-deformed type characters. It also has a long quest mode which lets you travel through levels named after tarot cards (there is a confusing story which describes why you are doing this.) No 3-D stuff or cinemas though; they kept the 2-d, framey Neo-Geoesque "animation" in place. But who cares, the game is still awesome. The chain reactions and the ability to bounce off the ceiling are awesome additions. The stupid pulley balancing boards are annoying, the physics make no sense (ie. you add a ball to one side and sometime it goes up? ) and they aren't fun. But fortunately only a few boards are like that. It is still the best puzzle game around (though Tetris is very close). Buy this game, it's cheap and worth every penny.

I had gotten this game a long time ago, and it recently broke. My little sister tried to pull out the game, but instead cracked the disc in two. I wanted to get the game back, so I ordered it. Delivery came BEFORE the estimate, and there was no scratch on the disc. Came with the manual and everything. Worked great. Awesome job.

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.

You'll want this game. If your into Tetris and all those puzzle games, then this is the game for you and your Dreamcast. Over the past two years I've worked in a arcade which has Bust-A-Move, and I would have to honestly say, Bust-A-Move is the best game there. It's one of those games that you get hooked on and you can play over and over again. The only reason why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5, is because there are a couple parts of the game which are confusing and the instructions don't really help. But, for all the guys out there, girls love this game. So, if your ever on a date with someone, make sure you pop this game into your dreamcast. You won't regret it.

This is an enourmously fun game for all audiences, both young and old.
