    another classic that ruined by the new generation of developers who don't know about game design. bad level design with worse game mechanic, can you imagine a boss level without any block on the floor, the only way to avoid the boss is jumping on the bubble? can you imagine a level with smaller transparent blocks allowing you to jump through, and bigger transparent blocks that are notanother classic that ruined by the new generation of developers who don't know about game design. bad level design with worse game mechanic, can you imagine a boss level without any block on the floor, the only way to avoid the boss is jumping on the bubble? can you imagine a level with smaller transparent blocks allowing you to jump through, and bigger transparent blocks that are not allowing you to jump through?
    the cute design is for kids, but I can assure you, no one kid below 12 years old can play through the game.
    the old classic 2d version included is so much better. they have only one mission, remaster the game with better graphic, but still they failed miserably    … Expand

    If you've got a group of people that you want to play with, or if you want to replay the original game, then you should check out the new update. But I came out of this review with more critiques than I realized while playing. Turns out, some of my favorite parts were just playing the game with my kids, but the game itself. In the end, the game is flawed, but it's trying, and that's all we can really ask for.

    Bubble Bobble 4 Friends is a pleasant callback to yesteryear, with just enough changed to keep it from simply retreading old ground. It is a little short if one charges through, points be damned, but it’s still several hours long at least. Those who prefer complex plots and modern design may be a bit disappointed, but anyone who likes a more arcadey sort of game should enjoy it.

    Bubble Bobble 4 Friends is a solid, enjoyable and well-made entry in the Bubble Bobble franchise. At its core, it's still a simple pick-up-and-play arcade game, but 4 Friends does a good job of expanding and improving on the core mechanics. There's something bizarrely addictive about chaining together bubbles for huge point strings, and the simple nature of the game makes it excellent for parties or get-togethers. It might not be a huge narrative-driven experience like some modern titles, but there's something comforting about returning to the days when all you needed was a dinosaur-shaped blob of pixels, some bubbles, and a whole lot of quarters.
