Looks kinda meh to me.  I don't like that you can use avatars to play, and the angle looks a little off?

WTF? The edits are so rapid fire I can't even tell what the game looks like. I may be getting old, but I need more than .25 seconds to take in visual data.

Back in the day, my friends and I played a ton of Bomberman World for PSX.  Nothing like 5 people gathered around the playstation blowing stuff up.

+1.  What was their goal, to induce an epileptic fit?

Anywho, it looks pretty much the same as Bomberman Live, just with more bells and whistles.

Looks OK. I don't mind the ability to use avatars. Kinda makes sense. The Xbox avatar thing is pretty popular, I guess. I'd personally just stick with the Bomberman.

Its such a cliche to say that Bomberman was perfected 15+ years ago but...its true. The new games have online play, but they suck at everything else! Also, the online play only works until the publisher gets bored and shuts down the severs, forcing you to buy the next game in the series.

I have Bomberman Blitz on DSiWare and overall it's good for online multiplayer action. When you die playing online you can toss bombs in from the sides to attack the remaining players. I actually think it's a nice touch to be able to exact revenge on the person who killed you.  :twisted: There's no story mode, which is unfortunate, but you can play against AI players and select their difficulty. The only problem is that if you die when playing against say three AIs you are forced to watch the rest of the round, which always goes to the bitter end. It gets really annoying after a while and it's a big reason I don't play it much.

It took until the Sega Saturn for this game to get perfected.  Only problem is that no one has a land line anymore to play on the netlink.
