Game Review (written by Orionstar84) Added on: 12/27/2006
Bust a Move is sort of a puzzle type game similar to tetris that was originally on super NES and then was converted to a DOS game. You are a dinky little gator like thing that shoots bubbles upwards from a cannon with the help of another dinky little gator little creature. When you connect three bubbles they burst and fall. There are also special power ups bubbles that you can hit that cause explosions and other various things.
The object of the game is to eliminate all the bubbles on each particular level.

a surprise that I won't reveal but for those who go to all the trouble of getting to the last level, I think the surprise is worth it.
All in all the game wasn't too bad. It is composed of two parts in my opinion, the first part being a good eye for angle and the second part being a quick thinking brain capable of figuring out the best places to shoot the bubble currently in the cannon. If for some reason you do end up losing (a fate that generally catches up with just about everyone due to the challenges of certain particular levels and their bubble arrangements.) the ending sequence is kinda funny. It always looked to me like the little gator creatures had just gotten sick with a headache. Anyway, if you die in the game then you will see what I mean, recommend not dying on purpose though.
It's easy enough to do that without planning it all out in advance and then doing it on purpose. This game is a must play for puzzle gamers. Even though it isn't as challenging as several other puzzle games that a person experienced with puzzle games can think of, it certainly possesses a certain air about it that makes it a worthwhile game to get and play. I think that most people are probably already familiar with this game as I have seen several different clones of it in several different places. This game is more entertaining, in my opinion, with its clever cartoon like effects and characters. (The dinky little gator creatures and the funny water and fire effects make the game. I am also of the opinion that the backgrounds are another entertaining part of this game.) With that said, what are you waiting for? Download this game.
