Customer Reviews
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.
