 N-Europe praised the title, saying it had a wealth of content to enjoy, while the downloadable packs were fairly reasonably priced and offered a significantly ramped up challenge from the standard levels.The review scored the title 8/10.IGN had this to say about the game, "Bubble Bobble is a classic game of adventure and betrayal, but the graphics and gameplay of this version of the game could have easily been done on a PS1."
