CodeMasters admits Bubble Bobble Revolution glitch

Bubble Bobble Revolution, Codemasters' remake of the arcade classic where you get to control a cute little dinosaur that can jump and spit bubbles to defeat enemies, has been making quite a stir because of all the reported bugs in it. A brave soul by the name of Jumpman64 got himself a copy of the said title and finally took the courage to get in touch with the developer to address the issue. In response, Codemasters admitted that copies of the game to North America are faulty. They said they are already in the process of correcting the faulty version, but a replacement of the copies will take eight to ten weeks due to the re-manufacturing process.

One of the bugs that were reported in the DS version of the game is in level 30, where no enemies are spawned and the boss is nowhere in sight. For some players, they will suddenly be whisked off to the next level, while others remain stuck in it. The latter is particularly frustrating because, obviously, you need to get past the big boss before you can advance to the next level. But then again, the boss is missing in action, so basically, you've got nowhere to go.

Other glitches include popping enemies as if you shot them already, when in fact, you haven't. Since Codemasters has already addressed the buggy remake of this arcade classic, we sure hope to see improvements on Bubble Bobble Revolution in the future.

Here is a video that shows some of the glitches mentioned:

Codemasters are so *****, they haven't made any decent games in over 10 years.

Look, I own this game and I made that crappy video. There aren't a lot of bugs in the game, it's just one. The video only displays that one bug too! There is no boss in Round 30, so you can't progress. BTW: Here's a link to a much better video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DB2kP1VNWDI NO ONE BUY THIS GAME until Codemasters says it's okay too.

And also, I already shot that enemy before I hit it (in the vid). That's not a bug, you should take that portion out of your article because I havn't seen an enemy that I have to pop when I didn't hit it with a bubble.
