Since the dawn of the video game, game designers have been struggling to make the perfect puzzle-come-action video game. Of course one of the biggest success stories is Tetris, a game which I'm sure everyone has played. However, there is another game out there which I believe is just as addictive... Puzzle Bobble/Bust-A-Move! In the original you controlled a character (of which you could choose among others, Bud or Bob from the original Bubble Bobble games) who had to aim a cannon at a set-piece pattern of balloons and by matching the colours, wipe-out the set-piece pattern when two or more colours of the same colour matched.
Frozen Bubble then takes everything from Puzzle Bobble. Its a complete clone in every sense of the word. Your objective is the same, the graphics are similar and the whole game is almost identical. The great thing is, this is not a bad thing as Frozen Bubble is a brilliant game!
Game modes include One Player Mode, Two Player Mode, LAN Game and NET Game. Each game has you doing the same thing, trying to destroy all the bubbles before your opponent or before they reach the bottom of the screen. Its simple but effective and most importantly its addictive!
Graphically the game looks cute and the sprites and graphics are all well drawn. The sound is simply superb with great arcade-like sound effects and a brilliant tune playing. The game can be played in window mode and full-screen and you have complete control on the amount of detail on show. The screen-shot to the right says everything you need to know about the game, which shows just how simple the game play is whilst playing.
So, to conclude, Frozen Puzzle is everything good about Bust-A-Move/Puzzle Bobble, only its free! Its a time waster, and sometimes minutes can turn into hours, so be warned in advance!
