1 out of 5 stars Save your money!   December 30, 2008
Spurfan (Bellevue, NE)
We bought this game for our two boys to play; ages 5 and 11. They didn't like it from the moment they started playing it. So my husband and I decided to give it a try. It took both of us numerous tries to get through the various stages and then defeat the "bosses" in the extra stages. So many times that the game became frustrating; and not in a good Smash Bros kinda of way. What's so frustrating? After the initial 3 men, you only get 1 man at a time unless you earn a certain amount of points. So for most of the game you could be one and done! The concept and characters are fun to play and are visually stimulating, but logistically it's a nightmare. Save your money and go for something a little more player friendly!


4 out of 5 stars Harder than it looks   October 11, 2008

I bought this game thinking it was going to be easy for me to do, it sounds easy enough after all. It's kind of a mixture of pong and bubbles. You have to use your ball to hit the squares to burst them all in order to clear the level. There are pieces in the game for you to change the color of your ball, as you can only pop the squares that are the same color as your ball. Maybe I'm not that coordinated or something, but I just got frustrated with this game. It was taking a lot more effort than this casual gamer was willing to put into it. Nice graphics, okay music, cute story line, but too hard for me!


4 out of 5 stars M&M version of Break-Out!.   September 26, 2007

As a adult gamer trying out games, I thought I'd try this one out. The game is cute. Turns out it's like Break Out puzzle game somewhat where you have to hit the ball to eliminate certain colored circles (instead of blocks). You have to make sure that the ball is in certain color by hitting a special block that turns it to, lets say, red, then you hit red circles only and eliminate them, then move on to another color and do the same.

It's a cute small change of pace from Break Out. It's very similiar to Break out or any of those ball hitting blocks puzzle games. If you like those types, it's good. I haven't gone that far yet. I will update this review as I get further to see if anything happens such as unlocking games or gets more difficult...

UPDATE: This game is fun!! Here is a better explaination...It is just like Break-Out. Except you control the ball in a different way than Break-Out. With Break-Out, the ball bounces off your paddle, whereas with M&M Break Em, the ball moves up, down or left & right with your + pad on the DS. There is absolutely no stylus usage in this game which is fine. The stylus wouldn't work good for this type of game anyway.

Yes you do have to unlock some games after you've reached certain levels. I've finished the first level and am moving on to the next. This is an unique break-out type of a game that I've never played before. It's a bit difficult but with practice, I passed the levels. I think some stages get bit harder than the last. Then there seems to be a boss at the end of the level which is a bit challenging. Also I think this game is too hard for kids under 8? I'm an adult and having a hard time finishing some levels. I'm now 56% complete!
