DO NOT BUY, NOT PLAYABLE PAST LEVEL 30
Date of Review: Nov 25, 2006
ok, we ALL love classic Bubble Bobble. The classic game is here in all its glory. The "new" version... is terrible. One stage spans 4 screens so there is alot of not see whats going on. whats more the characters are bigger and so are the pixels. indeed the "new" version, actually looks worse in spite of the brighter colors.
The new version also has a MAJOR BUG THAT MAKES THE GAME UNPLAYABLE past level 30. There a boss is supposed to appear, which never does and as you can move on other levels before beating the boss you are stuck. which is just as well because you wont want to play the "new" version for more than 2 seconds anyway.
For this reason the game gets one star.
Now if you are interested in Bubble Bobble on a portable, get Bubble Bobble Old and New for the GBA. This 2002 version of the game is not only graphically more impressive, the "New" version in that title is an amazing joy to play and offers many features (like a museum) that are absent here.
