How Metascores Are Calculated

Puzzle Bobble VS is an enduring classic. A deceptively simple puzzle game, you must blast the bubbles on your side of the screen by matching colors, then fire bubbles at your opponent's screen. Bluetooth wireless technology brings up to four-player multi-play action, and a unique Avec mode allows two people to play against each other on one game deck. Super-addictive puzzle action. [Nokia]

Once again, the inability to easily distinguish colors ruins the gameplay. [Nov 2003, p.76]

It’s a shame that the guys at Taito and Nokia didn’t manage to recreate the classic arcade game play that so many people have become accustomed and addicted to.

Super-boring. Soporific, if you will. It's not even a little fun in the beginning. And if you stick it out, guess what? It doesn't get any better.

Pocket Games
Nearly impossible to play because of the small balls in similar colors. [Spring 2004, p.18]

Game Informer
It's a plodding puzzle title with little variation in gameplay, and graphics created on a Lite Brite look more interesting and detailed than what this stinker offers. [Oct 2003, p.51]

We can't bring ourselves to even recommend it as a rental; it's much too frustrating (and eye-straining) to subject others to its blur of near identical bubbles, and snore-inducing pace. Stay away, for your optometrist's sake.

Small visuals spoil the experience, and the gameplay is so slow, senior citizen racing would perk things up. If Taito Memories is this bad, there will be problems.

Electronic Gaming Monthly
The three-player Bluetooth Versus matches are conceptually cool, but with all of the other problems, they are no fun in practice. [Nov 2003, p.37]

GameSpy
Maddeningly slow-paced, and the graphic flaws are more than just ugly... they actually make the game more difficult to play.

Game Power Australia
Almost everything that made the Puzzle Bobble series fun has effectively been broken in the N-Gage's Puzzle Bobble VS, making it a game that you'd do well to steer clear of when you pick up your N-Gage.

Gaming Age
Somehow developer Mascot Capsule has managed to make the N-Gage version the slowest version in the world.

GameSpot
Sluggish gameplay and an inability to distinguish between some of the darker colors in the game render this version unplayable... A complete and utter mess.

It's hard to say anything nice about this "Bust-A-Move" puzzler port, which runs at half-normal speeds, sans music. [Nov 2003, p.101]
