    Playing solo it can feel too casual but Hard mode stages with a friend (or four) fare better. Ultimately, the inclusion of the original arcade game is a saving grace and is as addictive as ever. [Issue#183, p.65]

    As someone who was left wanting more after completing Bubble Bobble 4 Friends, I found the new levels offered in The Baron is Back to be the perfect salve to soothe my bubble-bursting itch. The addition of a few more power-ups to go with them would have been nice for sure, But really, that’s just nitpicking. At the end of the day, this update succeeds in making Bubble Bobble 4 Friends feel like the game it should have been when it was initially released earlier this year.
