Archive: 13th February 2006: Bust-A-Move DS / Eurogamer
“Ah, the Bust-A-Move series. Also known as Puzzle Bobble in Japan, or by Japanophiles who call Pro Evolution Soccer ‘Winning Eleven’, or something, the appearance of the series on the Nintendo DS was merely a matter of time, with the series having appeared on practically every system other than, um, the ZX81 or the Gizmondo. It’s likely that if you’ve ever played a videogame system, or maybe even just seen one from your car window while driving past a branch of Dixons, that you probably know all about the mechanics of playing Bust-A-Move.”A version of Bust-A-Move on DS! What more can you say, really?
To be honest, I should have been a trifle harder on it. While it really is an okay version, it’s so completely lacking in any spark to make it worth returning to, and unlike many games, as soon as I put it down after finishing the review I never touched it again. There are far better versions of Bust-A-Move to waste your time with.
Dude, Bust-A-Move was released in arcades in the US as Puzzle Bobble way back when. I didn’t know for a really long time that I was a japanophile because of it :’(
