    The unfortunate fact is that Bubble Bobble has been done too many times before. Yes, it's playable and challenging, but it's also old and far too simplistic for hte modern gaming era. [Mar 2007, p.77]

    My final thought on Bubble Bobble Double Shot is that it is not worth the investment. It's not really that fun.

HOLY BA JEEZ! IT"S BAD! This is not a game, it is diarrhea on a card. It is playable, but it is going to get **** hard where you scream in frustration.

Very easy to spend hours on.… Full Review »
