The Truth about This Game!...MUST READ!...

Bomberman has become a classic action game. And now the classic is reborn on the Gamecube. Using the Gamecube's graphics capabilities to the limit, Bomber Generation uses the "toon-shading" function. This function makes gamers think that they are controling a cartoon Bomberman in a colorful environment. Many might think that Bomberman Generation is childish. They are very wrong!! The game is simple to control, but hard to master. Each level keeps getting more difficult every time you proceed. There are 5 massive worlds to explore and 18 areas in each one. Not to mention huge bosses, secret mini-games, and an awesome multiplayer. Check the complete list of features below:

- Bomberman reborn on the Gamecube.
- Uses the "toon-shading" function to give it a cartoon look.
- Uses the Gamecube's maximum power.
- Explore 5 massive worlds with 18 areas each one.
- Fight huge bosses.
- Use bombs to attack your enemies, break trees, or even to find secrets.
- Various bomb-types including the Hurricanebombs and the aquabombs.
- Awesome multiplayer including 5 modes of play.
- Up to 4 players can participate.
- Play tons of mini-games and solve many puzzles in the adventure.
- Uses a 360 degree camera for your viewing pleasure (pick your favorite angle).
- Muliplayer is based on old-shcool arcade.
- New multiplayer modes include Paint Mode and Coin Mode (and the classic battle mode).

Overall, a must buy to any gamer looking for a real action game. ANY PERSON WILL FIND THE CONTROLS EASY TO USE!... Simple but challenging!

A better generation

I originally took interest in this game for its promising multiplayer modes. I first tried it with only one other person, and we were both disappointed. While Bomberman Generation finally (and gratefully) reverts back to the multi-player outline of the original, it's a little late and kind of uninspired. The good news is: four-player support is awesome! Still somewhat skeptical, however, once I played the adventure mode, all that changed. There are a lot of levels in this game, all very linear but at the same time brimming with secrets. The free-flowing camera is the best work I've ever seen, and controls are simple (though you can't jump... bummer) and puzzles are quick-thinking and logical. Not to mention the head-spinning amount of powerups along the way. This won't top Mario Sunshine, I'm sure, but it will definitely hold you over until then. A great platform game with one of the better multiplayer options for Gamecube. Get it now.

Bomberman's back, and better than ever

With beautiful cel shaded graphics, some people may be thrown back from this game. Bomberman has never been about realism though and this graphic style suits the game very well. In Bomberman's newest escapade, he must retrieve the powerful bomb elements before a gang of pirates can get to them. Bomberman must travel through many environments using his bombs and Charabombs to find the elements. Charabombs can be compared to Pokemon. They come in different types and can have their stats boosted through collecting items. Once you retrieve one Charabomb, you can use that one to battle against others and recruit them to your team as well. Each Charabomb has a certain ability that benefits you. For example, one Charabomb gives you the ability to throw bombs further, where as another puts your bomb explosions up to full power. You can even go as far as to combine Charabombs to form even more powerful creatures. Between Charabomb raising and level exploration, Bomberman Generations is a fantastic game. Only problem is that Bomberman can have a tendency to get old quickly. Fortunately the great multi-player features compensate for this. Still, the one player adventure can get tedious at times. With great graphics, play control, and music though, the good game design is augmented to make this game stellar.

Great Game

This game is awesome, great game play, and there is no problem with controls. Multiplayer is probably the most fun you would have in a long time. But sadly I bet this game is going to get overlooked because of its cartoony look. But if your looking for a great game buy this one. Invite some friends over and blow eachother up, good fun.

Eh

The levels are very repetitive, the camera you have to constantly adjust because the camera doesn't adjust itself, and the levels are 20 - 30 minutes long. Which isn't neccesarily a problem but if you die you have to start ALL OVER losing all stuff you picked up on that level. The sound is obnoxiously annoying, unless you enjoy Hige Hige Hige Hige noises playing all the time.

The game has great graphics, and cel shading takes alot of power from the gamecube and it does it perfectly. The music is pretty good, and the level design is decent. You have to rent this game first because I don't like it and you might not either

The best multiplayer action anywhere

The Bomberman series has long been famous for its mastery of the multiplayer genre. Yet again, the little pom-pom headed one returns with a series of multiplayer games that will keep gamers of all ages lining up to bomb the stuffing out of each other. Dodge Mode sharpens your defensive techniques, as you do your best to punch, kick and dodge various kinds of bombs (including those pesky bouncing mobile ones) that fall from the sky, whereas the many incarnations of Standard Mode allow you to nuke your neighbor with warp platforms, hidden tubes, momentum arrows to go with the wealth of powerups Bomberman fans have come to expect. Those would be enough to keep most fans busy and entertained, but Generation keeps the action fast and furious with other wholly different adventures such as Coin Battle, Reversi, and an explosive take on the arcade classic Whack-A-Mole game, just to name a few. All in all, a gamer could completely ignore the deep and engaging one-player adventure (which has its own entertaining complexities and cartoonish charm nonetheless,) and find hours and hours of fun with a few friends in the multiplayer mode that has come to define the Bomberman name. A worthwhile purchase for any gamer with infinite replay value.

pretty good game

this game has a lot to do. with an expansive story mode full of puzzles, minigames , bosses, and pokemon type battles that help you collect more charabombs it is well worth the money. There is also a multiplayer mode that is pretty fun...it give you a lot of options to tool around with also. the reson I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because the multiplayer wasn't as fun as the one in bomberman 64, but thats my opinion. If you liked the 64 games (except for hero which I thought was horrible) than you'll love this game, but if you are really really low on cash just wait and get eternal darkness cause that game is going to be amazing...oh yeah this is about bomberman...Go Bomberman!!!!

Wooow

Bomberman Generation: Too cartoony?

It won't take you long to realize that Bomberman is going with a new look. Unlike other Bomberman releases Bomberman Generation has more of a "cartoony" look. The first time I saw screen shots I was a little dissapointed but the more I looked at these "cartoony" pictures the more I began to like them. It gives Bomberman a brighter, more exciting lure. It is as if you are in the middle of a "Happy Doodle Fairy tale" but equipped with explosives and a destiny to save the world.

Bomberman Generation will be a sure hit with its new graphics and traditional puzzling adventure, not to mention the bombs....the big exploding BOMBS!

Bomberman for the Gamecube

B.G. is the latest Bomberman gamefor the Gamecube. The graphics aredone quite nicely. The stages get harder as you progress through the game. I was surprised how the bosses get harder to beat in the latter stages of the game. The best thing about this game is the multi-player mode. You and up to 4 buddies can get together and have endless fun. This is a great party game for all ages.
