    Just train your eyes to recognize certain colors that look a bit too close to other bubble colors, and you'll have a great time with this action puzzler.

    There are buckets full of stages and a two-player mode to boot. If you've never played a Bust-A-Move game, you'll be drawn in by its simplicity yet you'll hang around just to get better at each stage every time you play it.

    A bevy of bizarre obstacles and freaky power-ups gives Super Bust-A-Move a level of addictiveness and challenge rarely seen on handheld systems.

    Super Bust-A-Move isn't the deepest game, it isn't as innovative as "Tetris Attack" and it doesn't have as many modes as "Tetris Worlds," but it is still an excellent game.

    Nothing innovative, nothing truly new, just the same comfortable game we've known for years.

    Special bubbles and pinball bumpers in the playing field freshen up the tried-and-true, colorific fun. [Mar 2002, p.137]

    My main gripe is the lack of a batter-save and there really is no excuse for its absence.

    There's just not enough here to warrant a recommendation.

    This game is much slower than any Bust A Move game I have played. Also, the graphics could be much better, they are poor and choppy. If you This game is much slower than any Bust A Move game I have played. Also, the graphics could be much better, they are poor and choppy. If you want a portable Bust A Move, there is a great port of the original arcade version that is excellent!… Full Review »
