Review: Well, it's 'Bust-a-Move', aka 'Puzzle Bobble', furthermore incarnated as 'Poyu Pop' and a handful of other clones. As with the best Japanese computer games, 'BaM' presents the player with an initially simple task that is repeated many times over, with a gently-increasing difficultly level. Think 'Bubble Bobble' or 'Bomb Jack', games this is distantly related to. As for 'IV', the essential simplicity of the game is still there, but many of the newer additions are like sprinkling sugar onto chocolate, in that they add calories without positively affecting nutritional value. The choice of different characters, for example, satisfied a deep oriental yearning for drama (the suspicion that, somewhere, a Japanese film studio is putting together a series of animated adventures based on the game is irresistable) whilst adding nothing of great substance to the play experience, and the reliance on combo moves gives the game a steep learning curve for newer players. It's all very reminiscent of the last 'Bomberman' game - it's been garnished to such a degree that you can't see the cake for the icing. Still, it has the traditional, honest-to-goodness one-on-one mode so beloved of the previous incarnations of the experience, and if you think that paying [this amount of $] for one of the finest games ever is excessive, you might as well go off and buy 'Daikatana' or something and bore yourself to death.
