Sam Bishop IGN	February 26, 2008 - Mediocre - Taito has fallen victim to one of the classic blunders: they messed with a good thing. The result is an overly cutesy attempt at improving things that ends up throwing in weird things that were never really needed. Full Review


Dan Whitehead Eurogamer	April 3, 2007 - Poor - Absolute masochists might be able to sift through the pointless junk crudely glued onto the Rainbow Islands concept, but in a world where Taito Legends is readily available, why would you even want to bother with this garish mockery? Full Review


Brian Fishman GameSpot	March 25, 2008 - Poor - Rainbow Islands Evolution stands as a missed opportunity to reinvigorate a beloved franchise. Its slow pacing and monotonous gameplay mechanics make Evolution difficult to recommend. Full Review


Will Freeman VideoGamer	April 10, 2007 - Poor - On the whole, Rainbow Islands Evolution is a disappointment, and more of a devolution than its title would have you believe. It will likely only succeed in frustrating fans of the classic retro game, and confusing newcomers to the once joyous world of Bub and Bob. Full Review
