 Bang for your buck! Feb 29, 2008
By Anthony Castro
I know UFO has been known to publish horrible budget games for the Wii (I'm looking at you, ANUBIS 2!). But don't let this stop you from checking out BALLOON POP! I was pleasantly surprised by this game. It's a variation on the old "match 3 of the same color" puzzle type game but it does things right. It's easy to learn and the game is simple. Wait until you get to higher levels where the action gets frantic! The Wii remote was made for this type of game as you cascade the pointer over all the different balloons. Two player versus mode is a welcome addition and adds value and longevity to the game. Colorful graphics and bouncy music round out the package. Worth your twenty bones!

 Balloon Pop Wii Jul 06, 2008
By T. Snyder
"TS"
Balloon Pop on the Wii is just downright not-fun. I bought it because it was cheap and I thought maybe it would be really addictive hours-upon-hours of fun. Unfortunately, it was just cheap and you really do get what you pay for.
One annoying part was that the controls are really imperfect. I also didn't end up liking the Wii remote's use in this game. My arm got really sore & dead-armed quickly. I would have much preferred the option to use the remote sideways. The Wii remote response time seemed really slow too. I think the sideways method would have been quicker-responding.
My wife and I were really hoping to love the 2-Player Battle mode. One problem though, the battles are over much too quickly. We much preferred the battles in Octomania.
Overall, Balloon Pop is a baaaaad one-trick pony and it's not even worth 20 bucks, which I didn't think was possible.

awful Mar 28, 2008
By Thomas Terranova
"Gamer"
this game is truly awful. definitely the worst wii game i've played as of yet.
pros: fun graphics and oddball animal characters
cons: fundamentally broken
your first time playing, you will end up finishing the game at least once, maybe several times over. it just goes on and on with no real challenge. the controls are sticky and imprecise. it seems fun at first, but soon becomes monotonous. basically, the graphics and gameplay are exactly like a free flash game, except nowhere near as good. bejewelled is fun and free, but this is $20 and horrible. save your money - try puzzle quest instead.

 Don't judge the game based on "other" peoples opinions! Jul 12, 2008
By Peaches
"Shoe Diva Of Oregon"
I bought this game for myself because it was cheap. I spent 13.00 so, for the money I was confident that even if I didn't like the game, the loss would be survivable. I just put the game in the Wii about an hour ago, and when I first started playing the game I quit almost immediately because I thought it was really lame. I was about to take the game out and write it up as a loss, but thought I would give it one more chance before I went to bed, and it was really worth the 2nd look! I discovered that the reason I initially thought the game was lame is because I really didn't know how to play, but once you figure how to play the game is very addictive! Here's the deal: If you like Bejeweled you will more than likely really like this game. But, no matter what game you are thinking about buying you should read the reviews, and you should read reviews from other websites besides this one. I also go to Youtube to see the game play for myself.
Once you have done your homework you can make an informed decision, and sometimes you strike gold and sometimes you just hit pay dirt. Think of it like this..... How many times have you decided to see a movie after the critics slammed the film and said "don't waste your money" but, when you saw the film you loved it? Opinions are subjective. Games are only good for those who like that particular kind of game, but if the game is not really your "thing" then you will not be very happy with your investment.
Decide for yourself!!! Only YOU know what you like.

 Nice game for the price Mar 13, 2009
By Christine M. Dohm
This is a nice little puzzle game in the same vein as Bejeweled. It took a bit to get the hang of how to move the balloons around (I was used to similar online games that had different gameplay). I prefer the straight puzzle mode to the story mode.
