Ultra Bust-a-Move Critic Reviews

The classic game is as addicting as ever. It starts off extremely easy, perhaps to suck in newcomers and inflate their confidence and then eventually kicks into high gear which will have the easily frustrated adding Suicide Prevention on the speed dial.

The kooky cutesy Japanese art is perhaps a bit too goofy, and the gameplay is solid, if slightly too easy at first, but prepare to waste a lot of time playing - this title is EXTREMELY hard to put down.

It offers enough frantic fun for any fan of the genre, and there are enough modes to entice anyone from the novice to the seasoned veteran.

There's no added features save for Xbox Live support, but the game proves itself to still remain addictive, challenging, and enjoyable even after all these years.

I warn you now, this game gave me migraines because it is so obnoxiously Sanrio. No, wait, it is beyond Sanrio. This is where Sanrio stores go when they die...For the price, this isn't a bad pick-up at all.

Ultra Bust-A-Move's Xbox Live support is the most significant addition yet, making this budget title appealing despite its otherwise all-too-familiar gameplay.

You'd expect this simple game of aiming and matching like-colored bubbles to feel awfully flat by now, yet amazingly, the bubble-popping action here remains refreshingly effervescent.

Go talk about colored bubbles with your online friends, because we've all played this game already.

With very few good puzzle games to be found on the Xbox, Ultra Bust-A-Move climbs to the top in a hurry. It has everything that fans of the genre look for: addictive gameplay, easy controls, and decent visuals.

Majesco and Taito keep the classic Bust-A-Move gameplay intact while offering a few addictive new modes.

There's nothing really radically new or different. Fundamentally, it's still the same enjoyable bubble-popping game we all know and love – which for most puzzle fans, is good enough.

Quirky fun. It has within it the same excellent gameplay that the series is known for, along with online play via Xbox Live that's sure to find its niche on the network. On the other hand, the game is practically drowned in utter cuteness.
