Gameplay/Interface

Initially, Bust-A-Move 2- sounds and looks like an average ho-hum game. You will never understand the addictiveness unless you sit down and play the game for 15 minutes. Once you give it the 15 minutes, you will understand what makes this game so damn addictive. The only other game that can be remotely compared to _Bust-A-Move is Tetris. How many hours have you spent trying to line up a square piece and rotate the purple piece to fit just right? If someone explains Tetris to you, it sounds pretty boring. We all know that is not true. _Bust-A-Move- has the same effect.

O.K., so what is the object of the game? Simple, just match 3 bubbles of the same color and they pop. Every 15 seconds (or so) the screen moves down 1 row. Pop all the bubbles on the screen before a bubble gets forced over the bottom line and you move on to the next level. The screen works from a top-down environment (Tetris would be a bottom-up). You just sit at the bottom of the screen with your bubble launcher and shoot bubbles up and try to attach them to the same color.

Bust-A-Move gives you four different game modes. The first mode is the puzzle game. This is a one-player game that makes you work through the alphabet to win. Each letter has a game behind it. As you work your way through the alphabet, the games get tougher to win. Make it through Z and you win.

Solution

The second game mode is the player against computer. This is a split screen, do-or-die situation. Either you pop the bubbles on your side before they reach the bottom line or the computer does. Now, the other little twist to this mode is if you drop bubbles that are attached to the ones you pop, they get added to the opponents side. For example, if you pop three red bubbles and a blue bubble is attached and it falls with the reds, the blue bubble will get placed on the computer's side of the screen.

The third game mode is head-to-head. The rules are the same as against the computer, except we all know that head-to-head games are ALWAYS cooler. This game is no exception. This is where I spend many quality hours beating up on my girlfriend (O.K., she usually beats me).

Finally, you can played a timed game. This is a race to pop all bubbles in the quickest time. That's all. Just clear your screen in the lowest time. This can be played by either one player or two players in a head-to-head battle.

Graphics/Audio

The graphics and audio are only a minimal part of the game. There is nothing special about either. The game does use the PlayStation's coloring ability with some of the backgrounds. There is an annoying chicken squawk that occurs constantly throughout the game. On the whole, this game is not supposed to be graphically awesome. You buy this game for one reason only: the gameplay.

Documentation

Although the game only came with one CD-sized booklet, I found it to be more than adequate. This isn't 'Civilization III.' By reading the booklet, you know how to install and what to shoot (which turns out to be, oh, everything), and that's all you need to know. Crack rasterlink pro 5. My guess is that you won't need to use this book as a reference. You'll read it once and put it away, which for this type of game is the desired action. Nevertheless, the full-color illustrations and glossy pages of the manual put it a step above the typical fare.

Bottom Line

Bust-A-Move 2 is a very fun game. Yes, it is addicting, and you will find yourself uttering the popular phrase, 'Just one more game, dear.' The graphics are nothing special, but it is not important in this game. It is a nice change of pace from the 3D shoot 'em or body slam 'em type games that are flooding the PlayStation market. If you want a game that is intense but is fairly a 'no-brainer,' go get this game. The best part is the price tag; you can pick this title up for under $40. On the whole, I give Bust-A-Move 2 an 81.
