Bubble-Bursting Fun For All Ages

With the return of your 2 favorite dinosaurs, Bob and Bub, the popular bust-A-Move series continues offering fast paced and easy to play bubble-bursting fun for all ages!

The object of Bust-A-Move 4 is to shoot colored bubbles into clusters of other bubbles. When a bubble makes contact with two or more bubbles of the same color, they burst. Burst all the bubbles before they get too low and you have completed the round. Sound easy?? That's exactly what Bob, Bub and all their new friends were hoping you would say!

2-player head-to-head mode allows for breathtaking bubble duels over the Internet or split-screen on one computer.

Over 600 single-player levels including arcade, puzzle, challenge and story modes.

Nine new characters - each with its own set of strengths, weaknesses, range of emotions and distinct voice, Create your own custom puzzles with new Edit Mode

Keep the bubbles in balance with the new Pulley Mechanism. Popping bubbles attached to each anchor block will cause the heavier side to fall and the lighter side to rise.

Stage devastating combos with the new Chain Reaction system. Dropped bubbles will actually home-in on other bubbles and prolong the chain reaction.

Irresistible Japanese anime graphics along with hypnotic sound effects offer mind-boggling game play.

The Kid's Domain by Carol Welch

Bust-A-Move 4 installed easily on our Celeron 533. Unfortunately, I was immediately stumped when I was directed to push the 'start' button. After pressing a number of keys and clicking the mouse, I had to look through the User Guide to find out which keys to use during play. Surprisingly, the 'escape' key is used as the 'start' button. The User Guide recommends using an 8-button game pad for play, and I'm sure this game would be much easier to play with one. But since I don't own one, I had to struggle through learning which keys to use for what (keep that User Guide open to page 4 as you learn to play). This was frustrating at first and made play almost impossible for my 6-year-old who could not remember which keys to use. However, my 9-year-old learned to play quicker than I did, and was delighted with the game.

The colorful Japanese anime graphics and lively music and sound are great fun and enhance the game play experience....Bust-A-Move 4 is FUN!! My entire family quickly became addicted to this game. However, I would recommend purchasing an 8-button game pad, especially for younger children to play. I certainly plan to get one, since I intend to do some serious bubble-bursting!"
