Review: Review: Boogie Bunnies

Over the last couple of months we've seen a gradual, but pronounced, increase of quality XBLA games. Sadly there are still the occasional games that can charitably be described as shovelware. Boogie Bunnies, a rather typical match-three puzzle game, is one of those of games.

Boogie Bunnies is essentially a match-three puzzle game, whereby lines of colored bunnies - occasionally dancing - slowly move down the screen. Before they reach the bottom and drown in a thin moat of water you need to match up three bunnies of the same color to take them off the board, gaining points, and eventually moving onto the next level. Bunnies can be shot up the board not just from the front, but also into side gutters and sideways from the edge of the board.

The thin "plot" that goes with the game manages to place you in several different environments to go out and match up dancing bunnies, such as the beach, the jungle, and eventually Hollywood. The environments themselves look well enough, but serve no purpose besides window dressing. The bunnies themselves look fairly better, and they change their outfits slightly from stage-to-stage, and through continue to dance, dance, dance...

FINAL VERDICT: Boogie Bunnies isn't so much bad as it is unimaginative, derivative, and just plain boring. Hardcore puzzle fans may find some small amount of enjoyment out of Boogie Bunnies, but for the average player looking for a good puzzle game there are plenty of others already released that are far better.

PROS:
* Dancing bunnies, for those that like dancing bunnies.
* Child friendly.
CONS:
* Typical derivative match-three puzzle gameplay.
* Can't make rabbit stew.
