The problem with Bust-a-Move is that if you start playing it at 1:00 at night, you'll play it until 6:00 in the morning. It's addicitive enough that the first time I played it, I played until I beat it. It's not a really long game, but it can get really tough.

Graphics: (5/10) If you want stunning effects and breathtaking scenes, this isn't the game for you. Bust-a-Move is all about busting-a-move. Forget about the graphics.

Sound: (6/10) The sound is pretty fair. Lots of beeps and stuff. There's some decent music but it's kinda like "easy listening" meets Mario. Sometimes it's comforting.... only sometimes.

Fun: (8/10) Bust-a-Move draws a blurry line between fun and addiction. I can't decide if I want to play, or is I need to play. Bust-a-Move involves fast thinking, planning, and strategy. The 2 player mode is fun also.

Creativity: (7/10) Puzzle games are usually strong in the creativity category. Bust-a-Move carries on the tradition. You get 2 little dinosaur guys working an embryo cannon trying to clear the level, is that inspiration or what?
