I don't usually write reviews, but when I saw the little hater who wrote "PU!" in regards to this game, I had to step up. This is one of the most addicting games I've ever played, and I can't stop. I was mesmerized with the original issue of this game when I was younger; now I'm in my 20's and I was still thrilled when I saw it was going to be released for Nintendo DS.

This game takes full advantage of the touch screen, and is very responsive to commands. It has countless changing backgrounds, crazy music, and even unlockable characters. You can choose between three modes of play including Puzzle and Endless (my favorite). You can put in your own settings to determine the number of colors you want, and what types of special bubbles to allow.

The only negative in regards to this game is that it's a little difficult when you're playing on a bumpy car ride, but it just takes a little getting used to. I have no trouble at all on planes or interstate trips.

Parents, don't hesitate, it's kid friendly, but it's tricky enough to keep adults such as myself interested. Makes an awesome gift.

Even if you hated games like Snood, this game is worth a shot, and it's a steal for $20.

I always seem to have a major adiction to what comes to great puzzle games. While so many of them might be good or bad, they always can be just as addictive. Since Nintendo came out with the DS handheld last year, there has been yet to receive a unique puzzle game. While there has been one with the addictive Meteos game, there have also been attempt to bring back the classics from the arcades as well. With the success of Bust A Move from all the different platforms, it has remaineda guilty pleasure for all gamers alike. Now, the DS has a little move of its own.

Bust A Move DS for the Nintendo DS handheld system is a classic puzzle game for all gamers young and old alike. The object of the game is extremely simple. You have to connect at least 3 or more of the same kind of colored ball, inorder to remove all the balls from the disposal, and try to clear the wall above you. The graphics are very much low key, while the control in the game is very, very simple and easy to adjust to. Yet, the music is cutesy, and not really pleasureable, while the gameplay and addiction remains just like it has proven in the arcades.

All in all, the Bust A Move is still a addictive and fun video game for everybody to enjoy. Nevertheless, if you haven't played any version of this at all, and own a Nintendo DS, this would be a great try for you to have.

I have loved Bust A Move since I first played the Neo-Geo version in an arcade some 15 years ago. I have played various home versions of it, from the stellar (Dreamcast) to the pretty good (Gamecube). The DS version, which uses the touch screen to fire your little ball, slingshot-style, is a fun and innovative addition to this classic game, but it doesn't allow for as much precision. Perhaps I am not as hand-eye coordinated as I once was, but this version is slightly more difficult to aim accurately, and therefore slightly less fun as a result.

Make no mistake, though. If you have never played Bust-A-Move before, you will love this game, as it is fun and highly addictive in the way that only the best puzzle games are. But if you already own a console version of the game, you may want to try this handheld version before you decide to buy it.

a little apprehensive at first

...because I was a fan of the original on the SNES, and I was afraid that they would mess it up with the new slingshot mechanism. As it turns out, it only took a few minutes to get use to, and whenever i go back to the classic mode, it feels incredibly slow and unresponsive compared to the rapid aim and snap control scheme. I highly recommend this new iteration, and classics Puyo-puyo/Puzzle Bobble/Bust-A-Move fans should have no fears getting it.

I bought this game, as I've played it before, on the PSP. Unfortunately it is not as good as the PSP version, and it's design is cheesier.
