First Impressions: Rainbow Islands Towering Adventure

rainbow8

Overall the game is decent; it’s Rainbow Islands in general look and feel. What is missing is a lot of the charm of the original and the themes of the different worlds. I’ve only been to the first two levels, so maybe there’s new stuff further on, but I couldn’t see much different in the enemies of the first two levels. It’s not a bad game, but it falls short of the appeal of the original arcade classic and is therefore not as satisfying an experience as Bubble Bobble Wii was. I could enjoy it for what it is, but unlike Bubble Bobble or Drill World, I don’t feel the desire to play; it just doesn’t grab me. If you’re a big fan of the original (and I’m more of a Bubble Bobble fan) I think you’ll get something out of it, but if you feel like waiting to see when the PC Engine port on the Virtual Console is coming out, I wouldn’t blame you.
