Game Review (written by Shadow94) Added on: 08/01/2007
In this fun little game bub and bob are back as a new threat is coming. In the first game bubble bobble 1 they had their sweet hearts kidnapped and they had to kill the villains to get them back.
In this great sequel the devil has took over all the islands and it is up to bub and bob to get them back by firing rainbows at the evil villains and after every four rounds to kill the boss. You have to use your rainbows to get to the top of each round to get on to the next level.

The game is very simplistic but is also very fun and addictive. All you have to do is get to the

top, seems easy but as all games there’s a catch as you go up you have to kill all the colourful baddies and collect fruit and diamonds at the same time.
The most difficult aspect of these games is having a timer because you want to kill every villain and collect all the pickups but as the time goes water rises and if you don’t get to the top you will drown and have to start again.
The aim of the game is to kill the baddie at the end of the level but like most other commodore games the boss is 10 times your size and has ten times as much power as you but the fun of this is it’s always worth killing the boss and you kill him with a colourful seemingly harmless rainbow which is what makes the game fun.
Because of the simplistic gameplay of this game children and commodore pensioners can both still play this stunning game. One problem that I have found is that there is no two player mode which has upset a lot of people but the programmers must have forgot to put it in because they included it in bubble bobble but if the two player mode was included this game would be even more amazing than what it already is.
So if you like to go sky high and you like defeat all the forces of evil, I am sure that this is the game for you. This is one of them games that children can play without seeing any violence because to young children it will just be a fun game for them. Most games are a bit too complex and hard to understand but not this one, the controls are easy and a five year old could play this game. It will keep adults and children occupied for hours on end.
If you think that you have luck on your side try and find the pot of gold at the end of this rainbow but without luck on your side this game is nearly impossible to complete (unless you can cheat) I recommend this game for any person that loves to have fun and I rate this addictive game 8 out of 10.
