Horrible controls and even worse lack of multi player modes kill any chance ths game has of being enjoyable.
BustAMove's strength has never been the characters. BustAMove is a simple puzzle game that is a lot of fun when done right. Unfortunately it's not really done that well this time around. I would of just rather they make Super Bust A Move (PS2) with better graphics and maybe 2-3 more characters. At least that game was fun.
This game doesn't have any really fun multiplayer modes (it has one chaotic multiplayer mode with up to 8 people just shooting crazily at the sky with no need for a strategy). you can do just as well just randomly shooting everywhere as you can with an actual strategy; especially the way the balls slide around after you shoot them as if they're almost LOOKING for same color balls.
Bottom line the graphics got a bit better but the essence of the game and the heart of the game (which was it's multiplayer) has been lost.
And while i understand this is the Wii...motion controls should be optional not forced on you. In order to use a regular controller you have to use a Wiimote...connect the traditional controller to that and then sign up as two players and ignore the Wiimote player. The games controls thus end up either being WAY too sensitive or at times feel like they're not responding at all. And you have to figure out just the right way to hold the controller THEN figure out how to turn it to get it right making sure that any possible threat of enjoying this game is killed.
Bust a Move was a cool and fun game for me on the PS2 but this was a huge disappointment that doesn't do the game any genre.
