 Bust A Move Wii August 1, 2008
My wife and I loved playing Bust-a-Move for the Nintendo DS. We loved playing against each other. The two-player (2P) for the DS is quite awesome and very addictive.
So we had super-high hopes for Bust-A-Move on the Wii. We instantly headed straight for the 2P mode. Unfortunately we were very disappointed with the 2P action since you're both sharing the same screen. It's not the usual split-screen that nearly every other 2P game utilizes. There is just too much going on for the one screen to handle. There is little to no skill involved anymore compared to the DS version. If it were just up to the 2P version, I'd have given this game a one-star review.
However, the one-player (1P) version is actually enjoyable. Having been hugely let down by the 2P, I wasn't expecting much from the 1P. But the 1P actually delivers. It's VERY addictive. There are a TON of levels. I definitely put in a lot of hours trying to pass all of the levels. The levels are not too difficult either to the point where they become frustrating.
So overall, they got Bust-A-Move for the Wii only half-right. Had they incorporated the normal "battle" mode for the 2P, this would be a five-star game. Maybe they'll fix it for the next version, but for now, I'd say this isn't worth more than maybe 20 bucks.
A little disappointed February 18, 2008

We loved the N-64 version of Bust-a-Move because of the multiplayer aspect. The multiplayer in this version doesn't even come close to as much fun. The screens don't change, you only have a limited amount of time, and there are too many gimmicky space ships and special bubbles. It feels like they have reduced the playablity to through in too much flash bang. We have found it to be fun on puzzle mode since the flash bang is reduced but you can't use the classic controller which is just annoying.
A so so game December 27, 2007

This game can be entertaining but the fun does fade quickly. We have this game and have played it a few times with both friends and in single player. The single player mode is fun and can be addictive but unfortunately there is no depth to the game play, it is exactly what it is, a ball shooting puzzle game.
When it comes to multi-player though let me tell you one thing, it's fast paced and though it can be fun there is no real skill involved. We have found that in multi-player you can get get first place half the time by just shooting randomly at the screen and no we don't just suck, we've tested this many times with many people. If you really are into games like this I say purchase if only for the single player puzzles.
One warning though, if you are "colorblind" pass this one over you'll only frustrate yourself. Though I do play this game from time to time I am colorblind and though I can do decently most of the time I get a headache because I have to concentrate a little too hard, or ask my wife what color I'm shooting =P
Addictive for 1 player, not so much for multiple October 18, 2007

This is a cute little puzzle game. It's a shame it doesn't utilize the Miis you have created on your Wii. Instead you choose from their little assortment of cute cartoon characters. It's a very minor issue. If you're playing by yourself, the game is fairly addictive and keeps you going until all you see is bubbles in your vision. The point of the game is to match the bubble colors by aiming a stationary canon back and forth and shooting colored bubbles into an array of bubbles overhead. Get 3 or more bubbles of the same color together and they disappear, giving you points. Some pool-playing bank shots off the wall come in handy to get the hard to reach bubbles. Adding to the fun are the random flying saucers that buzz by with power-ups to help you.
As fun as the solo play is, I was disappointed by the multiplayer capabilities of the game. You can only have more than one player by choosing "Versus" mode. This allows up to 8 players to simultaneous shoot bubbles and try to get the higher score. I've only played with two at once, but it's already disorienting enough. The number of power-ups seem to be more than tripled. Normally this is a good thing, but when you have more than one person shooting and causing things to happen, it gets confusing. Various power-ups cause multiple bubbles to disappear, explode or change color. There were times where there was so much going on, I wasn't sure what just happened. I kept losing because I was aiming carefully and being strategic in where I shot my bubble. When I adopted my opponent's approach of wildly shooting bubbles everywhere, I finally won a game. There's not much strategy or skill needed here, and I didn't find it all that fun. Just because you can have as many as 8 people play at once doesn't mean the game gets more fun. If it's this wild (and I mean that in a random way, not in the fun way) with just 2 players, I can't imagine more.
Another annoyance that happens a lot is the remotes seem to be unresponsive sometimes. Re-synching the remotes doesn't seem to help. I've never had this happen with any of the other games.
My conclusion? It's a fun 1-player game, especially for those who love puzzle games, but if you want a party game, this is not the right choice to make.
 Snood Like Game With Multi-player Action October 16, 2007
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
This game looks like a multi-player version of snood made by a Japanese developer. If you are looking for multi-player action then look for something else.
Pros: I guess the music would be the only thing that would be a pro would be the music, but even that didn't catch my attention.
Cons: This game doesn't really have any depth. The Japanese visual effects are not very pleasing and give it a very cheesy look. The multi-player leaves nothing to be excited about since it has only one mode.
Result: If you want a multi-player party game, you are still going to have to get games like WarioWare and Mario Party 8.
