Moosferatu Posted April 18, 2007 My roommate and I recently discovered the wondrously addictive and incredibly awesome Bust-a-Move (SNES version), and have spent countless hours sitting around playing it over the past couple months. We will literally sit around playing it for at least a couple hours a day. Needless to say, I was quite pleased to hear that Majesco was going to release it for Wii, and promptly pre-ordered it. I just got it a couple of hours ago and I have to say it's a huge let down. They've made the game super easy and next to impossible to lose, but the worst part is that they completely raped the multiplayer. Don't get me wrong, the new Bust-a-Move versus mode on crack is pretty fun to play and it's awesome that it supports up to eight players, but it has nothing on the old split screen two-player, which they didn't even bother to include in the game. I don't know if there are any other Bust-a-Move fans here, but, if so, do yourself a favor and don't waste your money on Bust-a-Move Bash!. Has anyone played the Gamecube version?

Noyb Posted April 18, 2007 I loved Bust a Move 2, 4, and that first PS2 one. The multiplayer chaining system for 4 was so crazy. Basically, if you drop a bubble and it can complete a triplet, it does. Makes for some epic comebacks, but all within the player's control. I haven't tried any of the more recent ones. What don't you like about the new one's multiplayer? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moosferatu Posted April 18, 2007 I don't like that Bash's multiplayer is completely devoid of any strategy. Up to eight people can play and they're all playing in the same area. Different power-ups (like a ball that destroys every ball of the color it hits or a ball that makes your balls slide around after they hit) are constantly going across the screen via the UFOs. Everyone it shooting and everything is happening so fast that it is complete and utter chaos. With one ball you can literally eliminate the entire screen. Yeah, it's all crazy fun, but it's not challenging or addictive like the original Bust-a-Move. It would have been great if they would have included the new, more party oriented, versus mode along with better, original versus. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
