Two new gameplay features, the chain reaction and the pulley, definitely deepen the game's strategy, while the control and the overall gameplay remain enjoyable. Visually, the background behind the game board are less intrusive than in past versions, and the music's only slightly less annoying though more repetitive. All told, BAM4 is like Tetris: addictive but mind numbing.

Bust-A-Move 4 isn't looking to break new ground, but does a good job of spicing up an old favorite. For newbies, Bust-A-Move is a twist on the Tetris-style puzzle that involves matching up three or more like-colored bubbles to clear the board. This fourth edition lets you create and edit your own challenging setups, play through a Story mode, and tackle the standard Arcade and Two-Player modes.
