Bust-A-Move 4

This is a must-get puzzle game if you own a Playstation, especially if you love puzzle games. Until I see IQ2, I don't think my Playstation will be seeing a new puzzle game until I'm forced to review another lame rip-off. Taito started an original franchise, and they'll be milking it until it's not popular. That will probably be when they get to part 19 or something like that.

With over 600 levels, this game has more than enough variety to keep any puzzle fanatic playing for months on end. And when you tack on the Edit mode and the exciting head-to-head multiplay, Bust-A-Move 4 adds up to a complete package that's a welcome addition to any gamer's library.

When all is said and done, Bust-a-Move 4 is just a whole lot of fun. Yeah, it could have been better, but what's here is well worth the price of $29.99, and puzzle fan or no, you'll have a blast with this one. If you're looking for a good game to pass the time between now and the big fall push, this is certainly a good place to start.

Bust-A-Move 4 provides hour upon hour of mega-gripping, brain-busting, bubble-blasting entertainment for all ages of the family. Every home should own a copy. However should you already own one of the past versions then be warned that the gameplay (with a few improvements) remains very similar... busting billions of bubbles.

Musiken i Bust-A-Move 4 passar spelets upplägg. Men om man inte spelar själv kan den bli väldigt enformig. Grafiken är pyttig och ibland är det svårt att sikta rätt på den lilla skärmen, särskilt om man har en gammal Game Boy-modell utan färgskärm. Ändå är det här ett av de roligaste bärbara pusselspelen som har släppts.

Ja wat zal ik zeggen: of je haat Bust-a-Move of je bent er gek op of je kent het nog niet. Behoor je tot een van de laatste twee categorieën, haast je dan naar de winkel voor een exemplaar van Bust-a-Move 4. Succes verzekerd!

Bust-A-Move 4 is an update of a classic series that fails to live up to potential. Just why Taito didn't include a 4 player mode is beyond comprehension, especially with the 4 controller ports in the Dreamcast. If you've never owned a Bust-A-Move game in the past there really is no reason not to have a this title in your collection. It may not push the system to its limits, but it is guaranteed to provide hours of fun.

I övrigt bjuder inte det här spelet på så mycket mera. Taito har nog förlitat sig lite väl mycket bra sitt traditionella bubbelkoncept. Istället för att inse att inga bra koncept är bra koncept längre när de inte förbättras.

Sin lugar a dudas estamos ante un juego divertidísimo, el mejor de DC en su género. Ahora bien, tenemos un problema y es que es la enésima versión de un concepto que se repite una y otra vez excepto por pequeñas novedades (el sistema de poleas y algún personaje) y además cuenta con dos grandes defectos, los tiempos de carga y la no inclusión de versus a cuatro personas. Con todo, no seamos catastrofistas, estamos ante un puzzle que nos tendrá horas pegado a la televisión y si es con amigos, muchas más, porque addicción tiene de sobras para largas horas. También cabe destacar que Bust a Move 4 salió al a venta a precio reducido directamente en consola del espiral.

Two new gameplay features, the chain reaction and the pulley, definitely deepen the game's strategy, while the control and the overall gameplay remain enjoyable. Visually, the backgrounds behind the game board are less intrusive than in past versions, and the music's only slightly less annoying though more repetitive.

Bust-A-Move 4 is a great diversion from the serious and morose action titles so in vogue as of late. The single-player game has enough characters to achieve a high volume of replay, and for puzzle battles, the multiplayer mode stands among one of the best. Bust-A-Move 4 will be the type of game you play with your non-gaming friends, because it's got so much character and because puzzle games are always respectable.

This game is great if you want to kill some time, whether it's by yourself or with your friend. If you don't have a Dreamcast, make an effort to get at least one of the Bust-A-Move titles in your collection -- you'll never be disappointed with your experience.

Bust-A-Move 4 isn't much of a departure from the rest of the series, but it does have some new additions and features that would warrant a purchase to those who haven't tried Bust-A-Move before, or are rabid fans of it. An online match up feature would have been nice, but at least we might see it in the next version of Bust-A-Move on the Dreamcast. Otherwise, the only nit picky problem I had with the game was the lack of a four player mode, and that sometimes the character you choose, is at times, so tall that they overlap a portion of the actual game screen.

Bust-a-Move isn't entirely a puzzle game, since it still requires quick hand-eye coordination of a shooter. Still, it's always been a favorite of mine. Unfortunately, the new chain-reactions of this sequel are a bit too much and take away from the overall simplistic nature of the game.

Un bon titre qui procurera des heures de plaisir à ceux qui ne connaissent pas le genre mais qui ne propose malheureusement que très peu de nouveautés pour les autres. Le style délirant très réussi et le gameplay exceptionnel en font néanmoins un choix à retenir.

The Dreamcast has a few solid puzzle games, but Bust-A-Move 4 is neither a new breed nor a game that will push the power of your Dreamcast to impressive new levels. It is, however, exactly what most puzzle fans are looking for: a fun, value-packed addictive experience that looks as good as perhaps a puzzle game can or should. If it had the four-player mode, it'd be a must-have for DC owners who like puzzle games, or more specifically, Bust-A-Move. Since that mode is missing, BAM 4 is a good game and a decent purchase, but maybe one to rent first to determine how much you'll actually get out of it.

Eerlijk gezegd vind ik dit een beetje geldklopperij worden. Er is niet genoeg veranderd om van BAM 3 over te stappen naar BAM 4. Het is welletjes geweest. Heb je nog helemaal geen BAM dan wordt het nu tijd. Heb je al een versie, vergeet nummer 4 dan.

Я еще не рассказал о 16 персонажах игры, сюжетной линии, секретных уровнях и боссах, но поверьте, все это не столь важно по сравнению с самой главной чертой этой игры — примитивной гениальностью. Игра затягивает и, хотя не является чем-то сногсшибательным и революционным, однозначно порадует вас в чертовски холодные зимние вечера и доставит удовольствие вашим детям, при условии, что они у вас есть. Аркада — она и в Африке аркада, а в BAM4 геймплей отшлифован годами сиквелотворения и пальцами миллионов приставочных игроков. DIXI.

Nach vielen nahezu identischen Puzzle-Bobble- und Bust-A-Move-Versionen hat Cyberfront nun erstmals eine spielerische Neuigkeit in die Tetris-Variante integriert. Es geht immer noch darum, von oben herabhängende Kugeln zu entfernen, indem man von unten gleichfarbige Kugeln nach oben schießt, auf einigen Spielkarten sind diese nun aber an Seilen aufgehängt. Durch die Gewichte an den Seilenden verändert sich ständig das Spielfeld, so dass endlich Voraussicht vonnöten ist. Ärgerlich: Während eines Einzelspielerspiels tauchen Mehrspielerkarten auf und die unglückliche Tastenbelegung lässt sich nicht verändern. An dem hohen Suchtfaktor ändert dies aber nichts.

Despite its cutesy and oft-lackluster graphics, Bust-a-Move 4 comes across as a wholly addictive and highly entertaining experience. The childlike overtones keep the mood light and lively, though they occasionally prove to be more of an impediment than an advantage. Still, puzzle offerings have always been less about graphical and audio pleasantries than they've been about engrossing gameplay, which this title provides in spades. With over 600 levels, a solid editor and a fantastic multiplayer option, Bust-a-Move 4 proves itself to be more than the sum of its parts, and is certainly a worthy addition to any puzzle-lover's collection.

And despite the numerous distractions, the core gameplay is undeniably fun. BMA4's simple graphics are colorful and appealing, but the music is uneven. It seems that for each song I really liked, there was one that I absolutely hated. With Bust-A-Move 4, Acclaim was clearly just following the old video game adage, "if it ain't broke, just add more features". Personally, I'll pass on the fancy window dressing and stick to Bust-A-Move 2.

Es ist das geeignete Spiel, um im Büro die Abwesenheit des Chefs zu überbrücken - aber leider auch nicht mehr.

It's a wasted opportunity because there's nothing wrong with the game itself, and the new features, including the pulley system and chain reactions, work really well. If you've got a P2 then it's worth considering otherwise you may as well forget it. It's a simple game and if the developers can't be bothered to convert it properly, we can't be bothered to recommend it to anyone.

Une vieille rengaine qui déçoit et énerve à force d'être rabâchée. Petite note pour le principe du jeu qui reste quand même un classique mais rien dans ce jeu ne vient flatter l'ego du PC et on assiste là à un très mauvais exemple de jeu vidéo.
