It's one of those games that's simple to grasp, but bastard hard to explain.

This version, "Bust-A-Move 4," almost makes it, but a few niggling shortcomings prevent it from wearing the "must-have" mantle.

This is the best looking and most exciting version of "Bust-A-Move" so far.

Each cutesy character speaks a cheery sort of gibberish, and gameplay is littered with enough bleats, chirps, hums and nonsensical exclamations to gag a deceased goat.

A quality puzzle game with lots of replayability, tons of gameplay modes, and a nifty theme that's great for kids and adults alike.

Sure, it's not 3D in-your-face graphics, or a techno soundtrack. But I'll tell you what it is.....fun.

Fans of the series will applaud this, but most who have already seen "Bust-A-Move" a dozen other times won't find much new to keep them amused.

It is, however, exactly what most puzzle fans are looking for: a fun, value-packed addictive experience that looks as good as perhaps a puzzle game can or should.

As far as graphics and music go, "Bust a Move 4" looks and sounds the nicest of any previous games.

Dreamcast's affordable version of "Bust-A-Move 4" pushes the already great puzzle game to new heights.

The super-sugary-sweet music and the cutesy characters are enough to bring you to tears.
