Rainbow screen


Revisit the Rainbow Islands, where Bob and Bub are now under the grasps of an ecosystem-polluting record company evil. Because of its grubby enterprise boldly dubbed as "music", flowers then die off, and the usually friendly greens have mutated into angry, angsty foes. It is now entirely up to the duo to put a halt to this atrocity spawned by the record company.

Well that certainly seems like a lot to do for our two heroes. But on a lighter note, check out the enhanced environment, now in 3D. The platforms now follow perspective and disappears off into the distance. As Bob and Bub go through the levels, these platforms will then move forward, thus becoming accessible.

Says Rainbow Islands Evolution producer Tony Byus, "We're passionate about keeping the classic gameplay intact, whilst updating and modernising the design without affecting the essential gameplay. In effect, our goal is to produce what [it] could have been if the PSP...had been available in 1987."

The Evolution series is a range of modernized videogame classics, especially made for the PSP, by Rising Star Games. Bubble Bobble Evolution also was developed by the same guys.

Rainbow Islands Evolution shines your way early next year.

Rising Star, what have you done?

The original was a perfect game. This looks like a ripoff made in flash. It appears to have lost all of the original's character.

Rainbow Get

This does look alot better than the DS title of a similar name! Here’s hoping that they do a better conversion than they did on the DS. That minor disastor at least inspired me to return to the original to remind myself what it was I enjoyed about it so much. http://gamepeople.wordpress.com/2006/11/10/rainbow-racing/
