- As for the 3D, it's completely unnecessary and we turned it off quickly. Bust-A-Move is a 2D game through and through, and not only does 3D not add anything to the experience whatsoever, but it didn't look that great either.
Carolyn Gudmundson · Apr 05, 2011 Reviewed on 3DSRead full review - Bust-A-Move Universe – from the puzzles to the music – feels stale. There simply are not enough new features to warrant purchasing it
David Taylor · Apr 05, 2011 Reviewed on 3DS - Bust-A-Move Universe has some serious negative sides (like being way too short and having no multiplayer), but the core gameplay is as solid as ever. If you've never played this particular series, or you just want a fun puzzler to play on your 3DS, you'll likely find that once you pop, you won't want to stop.
Audrey Drake · Apr 01, 2011 Reviewed on 3DSRead full review - Bust-A-Move Universe is a very thin package that feels almost aggressively old-school through its distinct lack of features. While the core game is addictive as ever, the puzzles end too soon and the rest of the content is so underwhelming that you’ll wonder how much time it actually spent in the kitchen. On the bright side, though, things can only improve from here for Bub and Bob.
Jon Wahlgren · Mar 31, 2011 Reviewed on 3DSRead full review - The time-tested bubble popping gameplay on its own is still enjoyable, but leaves a bit to be desired after going through the rounds. Unless you’re a devout fan of the series, I’d say get mileage on your shiny new 3DS somewhere else as this version of Bust-A-Move is far from being the definitive package.
Annette Gonzalez · Mar 27, 2011 Reviewed on 3DS - Like its gameplay, Bust-A-Move Universe's presentation lacks ambition. Some subtle but pleasing 3D effects and some rotating planet graphics aside, this looks and sounds much the same as Bust-A-Move games always have. Take away the 3D visuals, and the latest entry in this long-running series would be almost indistinguishable from many of its predecessors save for the fact that it comes with a bigger price tag and has less to offer.
Justin Calvert · Mar 27, 2011 Reviewed on 3DSRead full review - With a little more time and effort this game could have contained great features and a plethora of puzzles, but sadly is a watered down version not worthy of your time.
Sean Engemann · Mar 27, 2011 Reviewed on 3DSRead full review - Unimpressive 3D effects give the backgrounds a vague sense of depth, but they don't add much to this extremely shallow package
Game Trailers · Mar 18, 2011 Reviewed on 3DS - Puzzle Bobble Universe offers familiar bubble popping gameplay, but with a distinct lack of game modes
Mike Rose · Apr 27, 2011 Reviewed on 3DSRead full review - No hay ningún modo multijugador, con Street Pass, contenidos para Spot Pass o uso de las 3D satisfactorio. Es doloroso enterrar una saga que tan buenos ratos nos ha hecho pasar, sobre todo en recreativas, pero éste no es el camino de la supervivencia.
