Short and a rip-off of Zelda

First off, this game is way too short. Plus, there's not much replayability involved in it.

Also, it seems more like a Zelda game than a Bomberman game. Yeah, there's Bomberman action, but let's see what it has in common with the Zelda games:
-Various dungeons with puzzles in it, where you find items to help you continue, and also a boss in each.
-At the end of each dungeon, you get a "heart" that increases the amount of damage you can take.
-You'll find a map to help you out somewhere in the dungeon
-As you go along, you'll get different kinds of weapons
-And others.

Also, the Charaboms are clearly a rip-off of Pokemon. And finally, as stated previously, the game is too short, and it lacks replayability. However, it IS fun while it lasts, which is while I gave it 2 stars instead of 1.

What a Bomb~

I recently purchased Bomberman Tournament. I found the Quest game mode quite interesting. It has some mini adventure puzzles that you have to solve before advancing to the next area. You have to acquire these Karabons (almost like Pokemons). They all have certain skills or abilities to help you in different ways. You can also battle your Karabons for money. Although you cannot battle one on one with another GBA and the battle are quite limited. Nevertheless the adventure and quest to solve the plot is enough to keep you going. The graphic of the cartoon at the start up is quite good. There is also another cartoon concluding the end of the game. Yet if you want to see the ending cartoon again, you'd have to beat the last level and boss to get to it. Besides the very ending, you can save almost anywhere in the quest game mode...and I suggest that you do save whenever you can, especially after completing a difficult section or acquiring hard to find items. Then there's Battle mode. Simply, you can battle up to 4 players with one cartriage and 4 GBA. Alone you can battle the computer. Anyone that played the original bomberman would know this. The game has revenge and super-revenge, which allows you to return to play if you kill another player. The winner of the game gets to fish which allows them to acquire items for the next game.

Great game

Bomberman has travelled from system to system, and now he's made his way to the GBA. This adventure's not really different than any of his others with a few exceptions. Bomberman has always followed the same formula of navigating through levels using your bombs as tools to defeat enemies, and eliminate obstacles. The inclusion of your friend Pommy though, does make things slightly more interesting. With great cartoony graphics, excellent play control, decent music and sound, and a tried and true game design, Bomberman Tournament is a fun game for one or more people. The multi-player fun keeps this game interesting for quite some time. No matter what way you look at it though, Bomberman is still Bomberman. The lack of change makes the game lose a star, but it's still quite fun to play.

A fun Multi-play

This game has a very good multiplay but has a weak single player mode. The single mode is like pokemon and I did not like pokemon at all. It also has a variety of good puzzles but most of them repeat. However the multiplay is the games strongest point. It has about 8-10 stages and it goes up to 4 playes with only one game pack. Overall, this game is one of the best game boy advance games that I have played, just don't expect Advance Wars or Mario Kart multiplay.

Bomberman is a pretty cool game. You can usally figure out the beginging but then it is really hard to find the base of the first level so i would suggest a guide .... Other then that this game is pretty good. Battlemode is very fun but extremly chalinging. I would suggest this game to other bomberman fans and for kids 9 and up

It's fun, for sure...

Another excellent GBA title, this game's "Quest Mode" is, while simple, very entertaining and engaging. The Multiplayer Mode (which is the mainstay of any Bomberman game) is a lot of fun, especially with other people (although the computer opponents are quite entertaining as well).

Altogether, very high replayability, and good for a "quick game". One of the better GBA titles out there right now, I recommend this as one of the initial titles purchased for your GBA, only really surpassed by Advance Wars. Regardless, it's a very welcome addition to any game library, and doesn't sit on a shelf (or in a bag) for very long.

Fun game, especially because of multiplayer mode!

The adventure mode of Bomberman is fun to play on a boring day by yourself. The game is pretty short, but with the Karabon creatures, (which help you finish your adventure) the game has many puzzles that will leave you trying to get all the Karabons. But where the game really shines is its multiplayer mode. You get to bomb other players while collecting items to improve your bombs and trying to dogde other bombs. The stages are carefully planned out and all have their different features, like warps and pipes that hide bombs. It's not hard to get friends to play if there's a game link cable and a few extra GBAs, because of the single-pak multiplayer option. As you can see, this game is very fun for people who like adventures, collecting, and puzzles or if you just like a good multiplayer game. This game has a little something for everyone!

Keep On Bombing!!

If you've ever played the N64 game Bomberman64 or the gameboy game you know all about Bomberman, but if you don't I'll tell you. Bomberman is basically about a little dude who goes around on quests while using bombs for his weapons. The gameboy Advance game has a fully intact quest mode, but the crown and jewel of the game is it's multiplayer mode. With the multiplayer mode you and up to 4 friends can play against each other or in teams and try to blow each other up. Best of all, you only need one cartridge to play with up to four friends. This is one awesome game!!!

It's a BLAST!

I played the first bomberman back in 1989 on the NES. What an addicting little puzzle game. Race around, bomb blocks, get powerups, hit enemies, make sure to stay out of the plus shape your bomb explodes into! 12 years later, Bomberman tournament graces the GBA. Beautiful graphics, music that won't drive you up a wall immediately, and a quest mode that's just like Zelda (kill enemies to open doors, get special items to move blocks or warp or shield) minus the sword, but ooh the bombs! With 6 different upgrades, you won't run out of ways to slaughter your enemies. The Karabon creature system used in the quest mode is just a way of giving your powerups something else to do. They are very easy to 'train' I found.. Bomb everything you can (plants, rocks, etc) along your way of the quest and you'll find enough powerups for your Karabons that you can (thankfully in my opinion) ignore most of this poke-ish part of the game. The tournament mode is a lot of fun also, bringing back the joy of original Bomberman style competition, and adding a lot of replay value to the game after you've beaten the quest. If only Zelda had a mode like this -- that would stick you in a room with 3 other Links and some random powerups. =) Heavily addicting, sometimes frustrating, but always enjoyable!
