Editorial Review

Don't just stand there, Bust-A-Move on your new NEOGEO Pocket Color! This classic puzzle game arms you with a bubble shooter and a mission: to shoot like-colored balls as they plunge toward you from above until they disappear. There are three modes: puzzle (you try to finish rounds in the shortest amount of time), VS-CPU (you are pitted against one of eight very skilled characters), and survivor (you play continuously until you lose). You can also compete against a friend and his or her NEOGEO through the use of a Pocket Link Cable, sold separately.

This is the perfect gift for any Tetris junkie in your family. It is also good for young kids because it builds puzzle-solving and matching skills without violence or profanity, and reading is not necessary. There's enough excitement and challenge packed into this simple game to keep you busy for hours. You can also get a quick fix because there's nothing to lose if you have to turn it off suddenly. --Carrie Bell

Pros:

• Good for all ages
• Puzzle lovers will drool over it

Cons:

• After extended play, this game can get repetitive
• Mastering the shooting angles is easy

4.0 out of 5 stars One of the better Puzzle Bobble ports., November 12, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Bust-A-Move Pocket (Video Game)

I've been a fan of Puzzle Bobble for a long time, and the Neo-Geo Pocket Color release of the game does not disappoint. There is a slight difference between the Japanese and North American release in the color of the bubbles, as that some bubbles were difficult to distinguish from one another in the Japanese release. Compared to the other hand held releases of this game,the Neo-Geo release is by far the best. The Neo-Geo Pocket Color joystick works very well with the game, the animation is smooth, the music isn't a large factor in the game, but it adds a nice touch. The graphics work well, the backgrounds are simple solid colors, as are the bubbles. All in all, if you're a fan of Puzzle Bobble, or puzzle games in general, this is a definate buy.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Defenite Classic!, November 24, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Bust-A-Move Pocket (Video Game)

This game is the most addictive game i've ever played! It's a milestone in gaming history. It's better than tetris. It almost never gets old. I think that this is one of the best games period. It's just so fun. It doesn't matter if you like puzzle games, if you don't enjoy this one, you might want to quit playing video games altogether!

5.0 out of 5 stars Greatest Puzzle Game Ever, September 4, 2001

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Bust-A-Move Pocket (Video Game)

This game is great. At first you start off at the first puzzle and the object is to get three of the same colored balls in a row. Some people say it is hard to see what the colors are but my brother is color blind and he is ALMOST better than me. Well, than once you pass the first puzzle than you go to a harder on, I think there are like 100 puzzles, well, it times you so even now after I beat the game my brother and I try to beat eachother's scores. Well, there is also a mode where you play against other charecters on the game. I am 12, my brother is 17, and my sister is 19 and she loves the game too, so this game is for all age groups. Thank you for reading my review.
