Bust a move 4 series#

You must beat each character in one match to move on to the next, and if you're successful, you'll 'collect all the scattered bubbles and bring light back to the world.' The player vs. computer mode contains story levels in which you play against the CPU characters. Within this mode, there's an arcade challenge, in which you play increasingly difficult pulley-style levels a story section, which is essentially the same as the puzzle mode but displays a storyline element between each level and a collection challenge, which is a huge, endless stream of homemade puzzles you play in sequence. Puzzle mode is the arcade conversion of Bust-A-Move 3, in which a single player works through the levels without an opponent, neither human nor CPU.

Bust a move 4 series#

If you haven't ever played the arcade-based series or haven't played it in a while, the latest BAM incarnation offers a bevy of puzzle collections, a pulley system, an edit mode, and one of those charmingly benign storylines that sends you off on puzzle challenges supposedly heightened by your newly found sense of purpose in having to win puzzle matches to bring back the stolen daylight. If you've played the Bust-A-Move 99 games, you'll find that this version is basically the same. The game hasn't adopted any stunningly new and original traits or features, and the much-needed four-player mode is mysteriously missing, but the high-res graphics and predictably amusing and addictive gameplay make Bust-A-Move 4 a decent puzzle game to own for your Dreamcast. Last year, Acclaim released Bust-A-Move 99 (technically Bust-A-Move 4) on the Nintendo 64 and the PlayStation - and now the Dreamcast version has rolled into town under the name Bust-A-Move 4.
