Bubble Bobble Double for iOS One Minute Review - iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch

One Minute Reviews presents Bubble Bobble Double by Taito

December 28, 2012

Bubble Bobble Double is two games in one. Classic mode recreates the original arcade game and is delightfully nostalgic for anyone who played it there or at home on Nintendo. The graphics, sound, and game play are faithful to their 8-bit origins.

New Style uses Bubble Bobble characters in a bubble popping shooter that has more in common with Galaga than with its namesake. The retro styled, but high resolution graphics and remixed soundtrack work well. Game play involves timing your bubble pops to destroy chains of attackers and includes challenging boss battles in each zone.

Pros: Classic Bubble Bobble is a great game that holds its own even today. The remixed game wouldn’t justify a purchase on its own, but is a welcome addition.

Cons: No 2-player support is disappointing, although Bobblen can be played by the AI. There are also no options for control schemes or sound.

Bubble Bobble Double is a universal app designed to play equally well on any iOS device.

This game is a bit over-priced and graphically it shows its age, but the game play is still as fun as it ever was, so I give this one good bang, despite its high price.
