While IGN appreciates that Bubble Trubble tries a different take on the bubble-popping formula, it lacks personality and is poorly paced. Complete puzzle fanatics will squeeze some fun out of the challenges, but there are much better PSP Minis out there worth your time and download dollars.
Diehard GameFAN: At first glance this looks like a poor update, but you’re getting a really fun Mini for free that usually costs $4.99, and so if you purchased the 15 month subscription like I did, you already got your $3.33 for the month out of just that. Add in a nice Heavy Rain avatar and two pretty decent PSX import titles for only three bucks each, and you’ve got yourself a decent week. It’s not the greatest, but it’s pretty good compared to some really horrible Playstation Plus updates we’ve had in the past.
About writes: "Bubble Trubble' isn't a bad game, and it definitely scores points for trying, but it never manages to get beyond mediocre. Puzzle fans looking for something that isn't a 'Zuma' or 'Bejeweled' clone will probably want to give it a try, and at the price PSP Minis go for, you won't feel like you wasted too much money. This game could probably be quite good with better visuals, better sounds and a lot of gameplay tweaking."
PSP Minis writes: "To sum up, Bubble Trubble is a well-executed fresh spin on a tried-and-tested formula. It's ideally suited for picking up and playing in short bursts, pardon the pun, and the challenges add to the longevity, so it's well worth throwing a couple of notes at if you're a puzzle game fan."
