Frustrating but Fun

Bomberman games have had the same premise from the beginning: walk around, place bombs, and try to get rid of enemys by blasting them. Beginning on the original Nintendo Ententertainment System, Bomberman has definitely come a long way since its NES days with graphic and level design, but when you take all that stuff away, they're all basically the same.
Bomberman Max for the Gameboy Advance is no exception. The gameplay is fun and addicting, but it is not without its frustrations. In this version, you receive Charabombs, (pronounced care-a-bombs) that are animals for bomberman to ride on that give him different abilities. For example, the elephant can lay up to four bombs at once (without collecting upgrades) and the seapony can lay all available bombs in a line at once. This is a nice little addition to the game, as it gives it a sort of RPG feel, as you can upgrade and breed your Charabombs.
My main complaint is how games are saved. Each level has an objective, and once it is complete, multiple portals will open up in that level, allowing access to other levels. Blue portals lead to new levels, red portals go to levels you've already visited. So, once you've completed the objective, selected a portal to a new level and saved, you should be able to start back up on that new level next time you play, right? Wrong. You have to make your way through the entire previous level again to access the portals. You don't have to complete the objective again, but some levels are hard just to get accross. Frustrating. Another thing that adds frustration is the lack of health. As you continue on, your bombs will get rather large, and if not careful, you can easily kill yourself with a little friendly fire. It would be nice to be able to sustain at least one bomb blast before having to start the level over. There are items you can collect that will allow one blow, but they are few and far between.
All in all, this is a worthy entry in the Bomberman series, and if you are a fan of any of the previous Bomberman games, you will like this.
The best games ever

I have had alomost every bomberman game ever made i have all the ones on gbc and the bomberman tournement on gba. I cant wait for these 2 new games they look so cool. If you have had a recent bomberman game then you know they use these little things called "charobombs" they are sort of like pokemon but not that bad i recomend this game for anyone who has a gba that likes to have fun.☺

This game can be addictive at times. It can also get old after awhile though. If you have a GBA link, it is a must buy. The multiplayer modes are awsome, where you can battle Charabombs (amazingly like pokemon), play in a very fun battle mode, and unlock 20 bonus levels if you link up with an owner of the opposite version. Another advantage of linking up is that to play in battle mode, you only need one game pack, so you can play with a friend who doesn't have the game. Overall a pretty good game and a must-buy for link owners and bomberman fans.

this is the worst gba game i have ever bought no ive ever played. i used to play bomberman on my ps1 and that was fun so i tried bomberman tournament(gba), which was a great game. the adventure mode is very easy and the battle mode is very fun. but this game is just stupid, the battle modes are karbon battles, THATS NOT BOMBERMAN!! they made it 3-d which makes it look worst. also the adventure mode is stupid, long and amazingly boring. if you want a bomberman game get Bomberman tournament, no matter the price this game isn't worth it trust me, i got it for $$ and now i want my money back. im trying to sell it.
