Just before I fired up Majesco's latest puzzle game, “Bust-a-Move Bash!” I thought to myself, “Great – another simplistic game for the Wii.” Little did I know that by the end of my first gaming session, my tune would change to, “Oh, joy – another fun game for the Wii.”

By mixing elements from the puzzle game “Tetris” with the classic shooter “Missile Command,” Majesco has managed to come up with a game that's easy to learn but quite challenging to master in both single-player and multiplayer modes.
Basically, players must clear the screen of colored bubbles by hitting them with similar-colored bubbles fired from a cannon. Three bubbles of the same color must come into contact to make them drop. Additionally, unusual ammunition, such as fire bubbles that blow up small sections of bubbles, adds variety to the strategies that players can employ.
For some real fun, get up to seven friends to join you in the fast-paced multiplayer mode and watch drinks fly in all directions as everyone frantically tries to bash the most bubbles with their Wiimotes before they bash one another over the head.
“Bust-a-move Bash!” is a relaxing single-player game, and the hectic multiplayer mode transforms it into a fun and exciting party game.
