Game By Taito
Review by The Avardancer
Size: 2 Megabits
Save: Password, symbolic, alphanumeric, 4 charaters
Released: 1993
Works with: Any version of Gameboy

Opening Snide Remarks:
Bub and Bob are back again and they want to blow you and thier enemies
away.... with bubbles. (What were you expecting? This isn't Contra.)

Gameplay: Check it out! There's now an actual point to the game. (Sort of.)
Rescue some people from some evil being and beat up a bunch of evil
baddies to advance from level to level. Make sure that you pick up some extra
items too; so you can get the best ending. This is platform action; but it's
not a Mario-type game; it plays like the old Bubble Bobble Arcade game; but
with more moves; and more to do. And it plays better; it's Bubble Bobble to
the second power. It's also a little easier; seeing as you don't die after
one hit like before. Now, you have a life meter.

Graphics: Much better than the first game; and they look good on any version
of Gameboy. It's good to know that the animation, and detail has been greatly
improved.

Sound: It's clearer; but it's not spectacular.

Music: Annoying. Amazing that they could make the music WORSE in the sequel.

Play Control: Lots of moves and they aren't hard to do.

Final Analysis: If you liked the first; you should leap at the sequel; it
plays better; but for the sake of all humanity, please turn down the volume.
