  I loved this years ago when it was in the arcades and simply love this perfect recreation. Sometimes frustrating when you are stuck in a place where you need to jump and blow bubbles that you need to bounce on to get out but apart from that, its a joy to play.

  I used to play this game a lot on arcades back in the 80's. So, when this game became available on XBLA this 16th of September '09, I was among the first to download this game. My expectation was great, so was my deception when I started playing. This is almost identical to the game back in the 80 more »'s, no new features, nothing special, just a big let down IMHO. There are two gameplays: one is "classic", the other is "arrange". Sure, with "classic" its almost obvious I could expect something classic. But "arrange" is nothing more than a new set of levels, but gameplay is identical to "classic" mode. If you look at games like Bomberman Live or Outrun (XBLA), these were totally rewritten, have better graphics, etc. Nothing if this can be found in Bubble Bobble (Neo???). So, I rate this game at 2 stars out of 5. Why? I don't hate it, not at all! I've always loved this game, since it goes back to my childhood. But I'm not a fan either, because of the big let down. I was really expecting more. So... is it worth spending 800MS for this one? Certainly NOT! If you're planning to buy this game anwyays, I'd suggest you wait until you get a -33% Gold Member discount or even better, when it's priced at 400MS. But honestly, go spend your 800MS elsewhere!! « less
