Bubble Bobble 4 Friends Reviews
In the end, Bubble Bobble 4 Friends is a mediocre platforming experience. Inconsistent level design and restrictive ability access holds this game back from being a truly enjoyable experience. I will continue to remember Bub and Bob fondly from my youth, but this outing does little to build upon the legacy.
Bubble Bobble 4 Friends tries to capture the magic from the original, but it fails in the end. The gameplay is enjoyable, but it becomes stale really quick, there is no challenge to speak of and the price is too high for what you're getting.

Taito's comeback continues with this revival of its most famous series, and while it's slim the old magic remains.
Really, the one big problem that I think Bubble Bobble 4 Friends has is that, sticking true to the original design doesn't leave you a lot of room to grow and experiment. This feels like a more slick presentation of an 80s arcade game...Because that's what it is. For all of the 3D graphics and such, unless you're busting out the 4-player co-op, there's not that much here to differentiate it from the cabinet you played as a kid or one of the various decently popular home ports you may well have owned.
Bubble Bobble 4 retains lots of things you loved about the series but didn’t add a whole lot more. It’s over in the blink of an eye and its asking price isn’t justified
Taito's popular little dragons return in a new adventure full of fun and with a multiplayer option. Do not miss it!
