4.0 out of 5 stars A better generation, August 15, 2002

This review is from: Bomberman Generation (Video Game)

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars The best multiplayer action anywhere, October 3, 2002

This review is from: Bomberman Generation (Video Game)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Game, June 4, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Bomberman Generation (Video 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.
