This is my favorite game to come out of this year overall. There's many more positives here than many would like to credit the Bubster with. This game is easily Bubsy's Mania. For anyone who is looking to try out a good mix of an autorunning platformer and a sidescrolling shoot-em-up game, this is the game for you.

Bubsy: Paws on Fire is an adequate game, a harmless romp that’s fine to play for a few hours. There’s no real challenge involved in getting through, save for the frequent loading times. However, there’s far more memorable and interesting endless runners out there, a lot of them by the same developer no less. If you miss the ‘tude mascot characters of the early 90s and want something that's at least decent, this may be fun for a while. Otherwise, nothing of note would be lost if you didn’t play the latest in Bubsy’s exploits.

It’d be easy to look at the bobcat’s resumé, look at this and dismiss it out of hand. Unfortunately, although Bubsy: Paws On Fire has the foundation of a decent runner and developer Choice Provisions knows what it’s doing in terms of creating levels with an engaging flow, less than stellar performance, bland and repetitive stages, superfluous gameplay additions and long loads combine to drag the experience down. It’s not awful, it’s just nowhere near as good as the Runner series and ultimately we’d recommend ditching the bobcat and spending time in the company of Commander Video instead.

All of the variation feels pretty hollow, for sure, but the design of the game compliments what that variation lacks. All in all, it’s a pretty standard auto-runner that also just happens to have Bubsy in it.

Bubsy: Paws on Fire is a competent, well-made game that should sufficiently please both auto-runner fans and Bubsy fans. It should be clear byBubsy: Paws on Fire is a competent, well-made game that should sufficiently please both auto-runner fans and Bubsy fans. It should be clear by now that the game, like Choice Provision's other specialties, is an auto-runner style game, not a platformer, so it might not be everyone's cup of tea. But overall, it's pretty fun. It's a simple game, nothing revolutionary, but well done, polished, and pays a lot of attention to Bubsy's history as well. There's a sufficient amount of content for the price (though I personally might aim for a sale), the graphics are good, and it runs and plays smoothly, making this not only one of, if not the best Bubsy game ever, but a reasonably good game overall. If you liked any of the games in the Runner series, are looking for a fun replayable but simple romp, or if you like Bubsy and just want to support an underdog... well, undercat I guess, I'd definitely say it's worth a play.
