Between the price point and the replayability, I'd say this is a must own for fans of DS puzzlers. It certainly doesn't break the mold as far as Bust-A-Move games go, but it will be the type of game you can pick up over and over again, and there's no greater compliment I can pay when it comes to puzzle games".
Diehard GameFAN: Welcome back to the fourth installment of “What’s Worth Keeping?” where we help me pare my game collection down to twenty games per system. After all, I own pretty much every system, handheld or console out there and there’s no chance of me ever playing all of these games again, so it make sense to keep only the ones I know I’ll come back to regularly, giving other gamers a chance to own (and hopefully play) the titles I jettison. So far we’ve looked at the Nintendo Wii, Microsoft Xbox and Sony Playstation. This time we’re going to look at a handheld – specifically the Nintendo DS.
Man, If I had to review all the shovelware and crap this guy has had to for the DS, I'd have trouble trying to think of good games for the system too.

One of the earliest games with this kind of mechanic was Bust-A-Move, which premiered in the US in 1994 in the arcades featuring the characters from Bubble Bobble. Since then several versions have shown up on most of the major and portable consoles. The series is still going strong with the latest iteration, Space Bust-A-Move on the Nintendo DS."

This time they are on a mission to collect "Cosmo Bubbles" in order to stop the evil Devilin from taking over the galaxy and they need your help. Travel from planet-to-planet busting bubbles as they move down the screen. Match three or more bubbles and you knock them out just like in Tetris, Bejeweled, Lumines, and lots of other puzzle games."
