  • Summary: The Bust-A-Move series moves onto the Xbox with an online multiplayer mode, a new 3D Puzzle mode, and five new Challenge Puzzle modes. As in previous installments, your task in Ultra Bust-A-Move is to launch randomly colored balls from the bottom of the field in an attempt to attach them to bubbles of the same color. Once three bubbles of the same color are touching, they pop, causing all connected bubbles to drop. Your objective is to clear the screen of all bubbles. Collapse

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.

    Fun, addicting, but monotone. The biggest plus side to this game is that I have finally found a game my wife enjoys playing with me.

    4 player... come on, it's about time this series got it. The aesthetic of the game is sickeningly cute - even more so than usual. I don't like the whole asthetic, but the game is very playable and friendly to beginners. It could be decent for the right type of person. But if you've got an N64, you'd be better off picking up any of the bust a moves on that system. Expand
