Bomberman was always a basic arcade style game. The DS adds new life into it by allowing a single card to host up to 8 players in multiplaying fun.

First, the single player mode. Think of this as sort of a combination of pac-man and dig-dug. You move through a 2-D world, blowing up blocks, slaying enemies, looking for power-ups and a way out. The map randomly generates each time, so your strategic skills need to be sharp. It's great fun in the classic puzzler sense.

Where the game really shines, though, is in multi-player. Your friends don't have to all go out and buy copies of their own - they can simply play on your one card. There are a variety of fun games to play, and some of them use the microphone. Even if you're killed off early in a game, there are still ways for you to interact until the game is over.

The graphics are on the basic side, but that's fine. This is after all a classic game, and you are paying more attention to the combinations of actions you have to perform than to the stellar depictions of rocks :)

The sounds are pretty basic, but again this is an arcade game. You're not playing it for symphonic stereo glory. The sounds are good enough to keep you involved as you blow up rocks and avoid enemies.

Well recommended for any Bomberman fan, and any fan of puzzles. This isn't a long term epic. It's a short, fun game that is different each time you play it - and is oodles of fun with friends!

The best Bomberman and DS game!

The game goes back to Bomberman's roots with 2D levels and a new feature that allows you to store your power-ups and use them later. But the game is more focused on the multiplayer mode,I'll state the facts

-2 to 8 players using only one game card!

-Over 100 stages to battle in,each one spanning over both screens

-Over 30 multiplayer modes! (some taking advantage of the DS's microphone and others letting players race aginst each other to the finish line

-Be a part of the battle even after you die by throwing bombs into the playing field

So as you can see,this is definatly one of the best games that the DS has to offer and shouldn't be missed.

Bomberman DS is a remake of the Super Nes games called Bomberman. The Nintendo DS did a great job of using both screens on the DS. I havent got threw playing the story mode yet. It is fun and challenging. The graphics are not the best the DS has to offer, and the controlls have nothing to do with the sythis thing. Which is good. Very good. Cause with it it would suck. The Mulitiplayer mode lets you play online or by yourself with 7 other bots, and all the classic levels and more. This game is one of the best out there for the DS. I recommend it. And give it 4 Stars

Fun, only in multiplayer

This game is better if you only play it in multiplayer. Its fun when you have 3 ~ 8 friends / computers (which you can set). The computers are a little hard to set them at easy. Also set soo much handicaps because it gets soo much better than way!

The games is based on where you are this "bomber" who destorys your enemies and all the people in your way! The story mode has no point (or atleast I haven't gotten to the point yet) so multiplayer is the only way to have fun.

The weapons are amusing though. The bombs which explode can turn into spikes. There is also a voice detonate section where when you say "bomb" into the microphone (or any other nonsense) your bomb will explode. I had to face this the hard way with an open window so it would always explode once you place it.

Overall, this game can keep you amused for a good period of time. Buy it if you have 3 or more friends / family members with a DS.

Multi-player is great, single player is horrible

Featuring old school gameplay, this is yet another version of Bomberman. The best feature of this game is it's wireless multi-player. Up to 8 players can play off of a single card. Every game mode and stage is accessable, and if you don't have others to play with, you can add CPU players to compete with. The worst part of this game is the entire single player mode. It's very repetitive, very short, and just not the same as trying to blow up an actual person.

Not Unique

Bomberman is interesting to me. I have played different kinds of Bomberman games on different consoles. This one is so-so. The story is very poor. An alien comes to Bomberman's world and changes what the world is like. Then Bomberman tries to take back those lost areas. There are 10 areas each of which includes 10 stages. Some of the bosses are the same, just have different colors. The environment in each area is pretty simple. Nearly the same. I can not stand this. Kind of boring. Maybe rocks turn into metal or something else. That's all. Your mission? Beat all the enemies and then be tranported to the next stage. All the same. Something I like is choose items from the touch screen with the stylus. It is pretty cool. We can store those items. If we need some, just touch the picture of the item. I beat this game in 2 hours or 3. Wow, so soon. Probably it is better for you to rent it, not to buy it.

this is a fun game

Incredibly playable game. You can pick it up for a 5 minute distraction on your own or a 30 minute engagement, or spend hours playing your friends. We play this game almost every day during lunch hour at work, 4+ people in battle mode and it just never gets old. The best thing is that you can play by yourself against the computer and "practice". Great value as I got this for <$20.
