Game Description

Based on the classic arcade sequel to Bubble Bobble, Rainbow Islands: Evolution finds Bub and Bob battling an evil, ecosystem-destroying record company. Players must battle the corporation and its seven malevolent bosses across ten sinking islands. The goal on each level is to reach the top of the screen, and to do so players must make use of the duo's ability to produce solid rainbows that act both as a weapon and as a means to navigate each 3D landscape. Gamers can try the classic platforming adventure alone, or join up to three friends in the multiplayer mode.

Rainbow Islands Evolution is a game in the Bubble Bobble series for the PSP system.[1] It is also known as New Rainbow Islands Hurdy Gurdy Daibouken in Japan.[2]

Bub and Bob, the two main characters in the series, are against an evil recording company that seeks to pollute the Rainbow Islands' atmosphere by creating constant musical noise, therefore wilting the flora and mutating the fauna. In this game, Bub and Bob use a weapon call the "hurdy-gurdy" to create the rainbows.

The game follows the same vertical-scrolling system from the original, but it expands to a third dimension as there are platforms in the background which become accessible through the course of the game.

The game suffers from reviews stating that the game had been overworked with new features, especially those that make this version of the game differ significantly from the original game.[3][4]
