    If you like this style of game then Rusty Spout will fill that need well. The audio got old pretty quickly, but can be turned off; otherwise, it’s a solid little arcade title that brings a classic game along with a quirky tale to modern players.

    A charming bubble popping puzzle games that replicates most of what worked back in the 90’s, Rusty Spout Rescue Adventure is a fun if limited game. There’s nothing wrong with emulating the classics but when a game does this without bringing anything new to the table, it’s hard to see it as anything but inessential.

    If you’re after a Puzzle Bobbler, Rusty Spout Rescue Adventure on the Xbox One will give you the bubble-hit you need at a budget price, but only if you’re after a simple, colourful two-player local experience. In almost every other way it misses the mark, with a grindy and punishing campaign, a lack of online multiplayer and only two-player couch-play. For a lot of social bubblers, it won’t matter, as Rusty Spout’s heart is in the right place, me hearties.

    Have to say this is one of those reviews you know aren't going to be all that long. Nothing to to do with anything negative about the game orHave to say this is one of those reviews you know aren't going to be all that long. Nothing to to do with anything negative about the game or anything, but just how much can you really say about a bubble puzzler? If you have played one you have played them all pretty much. The thing is though they are all enjoyable and fun even though they all are very typical and resemble each other. In Rusty Spout Rescue Adventure you play as a pirate trying to rescue all the children from your village from the evil pirate Cocco. You will journey across five different worlds, each containing 10 levels and a boss battle. You get three credits so if you die you can pick up right where you left off. If you run out of credits don't worry you can pick off on the world you died on. So lets say you died on 49 you'd continue at 41. So it doesn't punish you to bad for failure. Which is good because these games can e challenging. In my opinion this is one of the more challenging ones which I enjoyed. They throw a lot of obstacle in the way of blocks that can't be destroyed so you have to shoot around them. I like a challenge so that was one of the pros for me on this title.
    I enjoyed the look of the game. Like each world has a unique appearance like a cemetery, the ocean, lava , etc. They look cool if you stop and take the time to notice, but more than likely you won't have time to. You will be to busy trying to stop the waves of bubbles coming at you to notice them or the different characters. That's why I usually say none of that matters. A thing that does is the music. I think the most important thing when it comes to bubble puzzlers after how well it works is the music you hear while playing. I think they did a pretty good job with the music and sounds on this one. I wasn't blown away by it, but I also wasn't annoyed by it either. Rusty Spout really does nothing wrong in my opinion. It does what it should do. It's your typical bubble puzzler. It works, it's affordable, it's fun, and it challenges you. It's a overall just good game. It just doesn't really do anything to sit it apart from the others. That is okay though. Everything doesn't have to be groundbreaking and different. It's ok to release a cheap, affordable, and fun game that sticks to tradition. I'm sure a lot of people love these, and been waiting to add another to their collection. Those people will not be disappointed, because Rusty Spout meets all the requirements to have a good time with this genre of games.
    There are also more than just the story levels. You can play a endless mode to just keep going as long as you can, and also a local multiplayer to play split screen with friends. So you can enjoy it with friends and family as well. If you have a family of bubble puzzle fans. So I think you should check it out, especially at this price. Yes it's not anything ground breaking like Peggle, but it's still hours and hours of fun. You aren't going to regret grabbing this from the marketplace of your console preference. The fun and enjoyment you will have will be much greater than the small price tag. So give it a go, and stop back in and let us know what you thought about it.
