That's not true, I did enjoy the manga-styled Bomberman movie scenes, but the game... EUH! It's the ancient style, offers very little, and NO variety. I enjoyed the N64 Bomberman for it's multi-player, here they left that out and it left a big gap. Trying to play is ridiculous, the computer loses about 7 percent of the time, and it's no fun attempting to beat them. You never feel responsibility for the loss. The game can change soo quickly that it might as well be set to one minute, to save us time. There's way too much going on in one screen, like 50 different things and it's like you're supposed to try to watch it all, and you don't... and you lose. Also, there isn't even an Adventure mode here! It's all bombing in a small space. You always start out in a cramped area, far away from opponents. It's so old, and dull, it's begging for a drastic gameplay overhaul, like the N64 version (not saying that was great, but it WAS a direction with genuine innovation). All of the elements exist for a fun game, but it doesn't ever come together. I kept wondering when I would get to the fun part. ...

This game is great! there are so many cool levels, but be aweare, that the "masters" of each level are extreamly hard to beat! But once you have beat them... You will have a blast playing! The rest of the game is somewhat easy, but nice and quick (however, entertaining if you want to play for hours!) hehehe, to sum it up, it's a great game! BUY IT!
Good idea, mediocre execution

Ever since 1986, Hudson Soft's Bomberman games have been appearing on home video gaming consoles. The fast and frantic action has drawn in many gamers - and with good reason. In late 1998, to accompany the release of Nintendo's new Game Boy Color, the company released a new game in the series, which tried something entirely new - making Bomberman a side-scrolling puzzl-action game! How did this work out? Read on and see.
PROS:
-The number of platformers for ALL systems has been dropping greatly in recent years due to all the hype for three-dimensional games, so it's good to see a new Bomberman game.
-You can save your progress with a password.
-The game looks and plays like a side-scroller should, for the most part.
CONS:
-The time limit is bound to get on your nerves.
-How exactly do those bombs stay suspended in midair?
-Boss characters are UNREALISTICALLY DIFFICULT.
-The Jump Mode is just plain stupid.
-No multiplayer mode.
-Though a good idea, the game ultimately falls flat.
OVERALL:
This is a good game if you can't get enough of Bomberman or side-scrolling puzzle-action games. Just don't buy this expecting anything revolutionary - you won't get anything of that sort.
THIS GAME IS GREAT

My brother has this game,it is sooooo cool.You put bombs everywhere and get things that help you like timer bombs ect.The only part that I dont like is that you can destroy yourself by being to close when the bombs explode.If you dont buy it now youll regret it later. :)
Great game

Bomber man is a game in which you blow things up if that's what you like. after every 5 levels you get a code for when you next play if you put in that password you go to the highest level you died on that way you don't start over.
mediocre graphics, good gameplay

Pocket Bomberman is a great game although the graphics aren't so good. It requires small experience with a gameboy and is suited for children ages 7-12.
