BarcodeComment: Game-play-bubble-need-capture-between-3952300
Takes a classic and makes it annoying. The game itself might not cause the same reaction in another player, but as a fan of the original NES Bubble Bobble I've updated to the newest players as the titles come out. I was hoping that Double Shot would just offer new boards and puzzles, but they've updated the game to be more difficult and require a bit of additional strategy. Fairly early in the game, you need to toggle (with the L/R) between the three dinos to blow the correct color bubble to capture that enemy. Since two may be advancing, unless you are quick, you actually need to capture and run, capture and run. Later in the game, you may need to switch between dinos in quick succession to blow combination bubbles. When I play Bubble Bobble I'm looking for a simple Tetris or PacMan style game experience. If I want to play a button masher, I'm likely to play something with a deeper story or better graphics, or Mario Party. This doesn't have the pick up and play feeling of standard...

| Author: K. Kennedy "kak513" (Lon.. | This game is fun, and not too dissimilar from the original 1986 version, save for new colorful backgrounds and color-switching dinos. There are 100 levels, with a boss at every 10th level. The controls aren't quite sensitive enough, and you'll find youself committing many suicides until you figure out the controls. However, I cannot recommend this game as there is ABSOLUTELY NO SAVE mechanism - this is frustrating beyond belief. There are little games you can play to continue after you die (and they get progressively harder), but there are no codes or anything that would allow you to pick up where you left off once you lose one of the games or just want to set the DS aside for awhile. I wish I could return this game since I'll never be able to make full use of it. | 2 | |

| Author: DragonAGB (Phoenix, AZ U.. | Bubble Bobble: Double Shot is one of the newer entries to the Bubble Bobble/Puzzle Bobble games starring the two cute dragons: Bob and Bub. In this game, you can now play as Bubu, the cousin of Bob and Bub as they venture forth in search for great treasures.There are two types of people that would be playing this game: those that have played the original, 100 level Bubble Bobble originally in NES (and also ported to other platforms), and those that have yet to do so. For those that have never played the original, you're in for a great treat. For those that have played the original, you will be surprised with the new twist presented here: three bubble types.The previous reviewer is correct - more strategy and hand coordination is required here, since only green bubbles will work for certain opponents, blue bubbles on others, and orange on the rest. Does this impact the quality of the game? It depends on how much role you think strategy should exist in puzzle... | 2 | |
