A Puzzle Game Gone Wrong

I loved the original Bomberman games. It was a great strategy game - you had to set up bomb patterns to blow out walls and destroy enemies. Then came the XBox 360 version.

I was really looking forward to a fun, engrossing strategy game that I could play for hours on end. I don't mind "dark" games so choosing between a male and female somber, realistic looking robot didn't bother me much. You can choose from a few colors to "highlight" their metallic outfits as well. Then you head onto the playing grid.

Suddenly the game is far less fun. I realize it's about grids, it's about thinking out your moves since you can only move at a certain speed. You have to try to lure your opponent into a trapped location so that you can blast them into oblivion. However, because of the camera angles, the unnecessary excess graphic items and the darkness, it tries to seem more like a first person shooter. The slow pace of your character, instead of being a normal part of the strategy, now seems unnecessary and annoying. You can't always see what you're trying to do.

Maybe the sound could have been the saving grace - but if anything, it makes the game far, far worse. The incredibly tinny, robotic voice that gives you a status at the end of each level is perhaps the most annoying voice I have ever heard in a game. It almost makes you want to deliberately lose, so you don't have to hear the winning commentary.

The irony is that usually we only buy games we really expect to want to play and replay. We rent the rest so that we can review them thoroughly, play through once, and then send the game back again. We thought this would be a keeper - we were told it'd be a lot of fun - but as it turns out we had to force ourselves to play it.

If you're a fan of the Bomberman series, then there are numerous games from before the XBox 360 which are great fun to play and replay. Get your hands on those, enjoy them for the fun puzzle worlds they provide, and avoid this misguided latest version.

Not recommended.

What a god awful game!

I won a copy of this game in what now has turned out to be the worst contest ever. There is no reason this game should be on the 360, the graphics are not in any way "next-gen". The new dark look is pretty ridiculous and completely unnecessary. I enjoyed the old bomberman games, they are fun and light, in their own blowing-up-other-people kind of way. This game is needlessly serious. As for the gameplay, it feels like wading through level after level of randomly generated and arbitrarily more or less difficult nonsense. Plus, there is no way to play multiplayer on one xbox. Why?!
Please don't buy this game... they might be tempted to make a sequel.

Just not a good idea.

This game can really be summed in just a few words.

For one, this game feels like a pure $10 Xbox Live Arcade game. All it is, is a mini-game. There is really nothing at all to this game. You have 2 real options: Play the only mode of the game offline, play the only mode of the game online. And that's where the depth stops.

Do not even consider wasting $50 on this. Or anything at all. Rent it if you're that insane.

Wow this Game is Bad!!!!

I was hoping this would have a deeper story line.
But it has no story line at all.
You just kill off the other opponents that gets very repetitive and boring after playing for just an hour.
Dissapointed tha this has not story portian to it!

I am glad that I at least rented this game from GameFly and not actualy bought it.
And I agree this game should have been an XBox Live Marketplace game!
This is the worst game for a next gen console ever! :(
Advice: Don't buy this game ever!

Absolute Disapointment

This is the worst Bomberman ever made. I wish I knew there was no story mode and since no one online has it I can never get a game. I would not buy this product if my life depended on it!

If there was ever a time for a 0 star rating...

the bomberman series reaches 360 with mixed reviews but i can say its just a game to have fun with to pass the time, not an actual full time gamer game.

This is the worse Bomberman game ever. Don't buy it!!! There are only battles with one arena. The stages are setup so you fight one person on the first round, two people in the second and so on.
