2.0 out of 5 stars mind-numbing and featureless April 1, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase
Fun: 1.0 out of 5 stars   
I'm a big fan of the series, but this game's a huge stinker. It only has two modes: standard 10-round Puzzle Mode, and a timed Challenge Mode. No unlockable modes, multiplayer, or even VS Computer.

The gameplay is solid, with good control, decent graphics, and some cool 3D effects, but the uncreative Puzzle Mode puzzles get pretty boring, and the only visible changes are the spinning planets in the background for each world. This makes for a repetitive and dreary longplay experience when compared to previous titles in the series, where music, levels, characters, and even pointers completely change.

The thing I hate most about this game is how dumbed-down it is. The pointer's training line (that usually appears for the first level in other games) is always on, and CANNOT BE TURNED OFF! This pretty much eliminates any strategy and guesswork to the point of just mindlessly shooting bubbles. I never died while playing this game. It even has a feature that pauses time when you dump a significant portion of the puzzle, allowing you to clear out the rest of the board in a matter of seconds. There's also no shot clock, destroying any sense of fun urgency that previous titles have supplied.

Do yourself a favor and check out Space Bust-A-Move for the DS instead; it's one of the best and most fulfilling Bust-A-Moves.

4.0 out of 5 stars A simple puzzler but the 3d is actually quite good March 29, 2011
Fun: 4.0 out of 5 stars   
This game type is nothing new and anyone familiar with Bust a Move will already be familiar with the format. I purchased this for my wife with her 3ds because I remember playing bubble bobble years ago on the NES with fond memories. Although the game play isn't anything revolutionary it is fun to kill some time with playing. However, the thing that really surprised me though is that the 3d visuals on this game are actually quite good with a nice sense of depth and even some 'pop out' moments. For the price compared to other launch 3ds games this game is a good pickup with the limited selection of other games at the moment.

4.0 out of 5 stars A note about the controls April 4, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase
Fun: 4.0 out of 5 stars   
I think the other reviewers have covered the topic pretty well, except I've found the controls to be difficult to use. The circle pad and D-pad are not sensitive enough (or too sensitive) for precise aiming in the game. I often have to turn back and forth several times before firing a shot. Maybe my 3ds is defective? It doesn't seem to be on other games, though. Anyways... overall it's a fun little game with nice 3D.

it's seems that this game was designed with a five year old child in mind. The game basicly tells you what you need to do in order to clear the board. No strategy involved. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome
If you like the classic Bust A Move, then you will love it on the 3Ds. With more challenging levels and fun game modes, blasting bubbles in 3D is the best.

Lacks multiplayer
Eh, I was never a fan of MP myself in these games. I'm all about the puzzle mode. And at a mere $5 after the $25 credit, I think I'll go for it. None of the other launch games are even remotely interesting to me.
