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.

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.

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.

I'm not overly impressed with the multiplayer mode, which is mostly why I got this game. The story mode is kind of addicting, like a cheesy arcade game that you can't help but put another quarter in. They take about 15-20 minutes to finish, and they're simple. I think the game would probably be most enjoyed by 7, 8 or 9 year olds. That's when I liked it best. But if you do buy it, take a couple levels to get used to it. It's very confidence inspiring. In other words, it's easy. My biggest complaint is the charabom battles. Like Pokemon, only three random turns at a time. It's really frustrating mostly 'cuz it doesn't require skill, just luck.

As a budget priced title (now), I think the game is great for multiplayer for casual gamers or non-hard-core gamers. I find it highly replayable and find myself playing multiplayer with a casual gamer frequently. It is easy for casual gamers to pick up and plenty of strategy for other gamers on the mulitiplayer. It is very basic, the way you can play tetris over and over. I like the short games and tournaments. The computer AI is decent and can be adjusted to easy/normal/hard.

The single player was very bizaar. Not familiar with bomberman single player, it started out looking and playing like a game for 2-year olds, but was actually quite challenging later that probably would be very tough for casual gamers. The voice acting was so oddly paced and the animations & graphics were so odd, I was just intrigued. It was fun to play through once as a suprise on top of the multiplayer, which is all I bought it for.

This game was very fun to play. My only gripe with it is that it was very short, but the multiplayer more than makes up for this. It's easy to play, and the game walks you through everything so you don't get frustrated. This would be great for young kids especially, because of the comfortable learning curve and the fun pokemon-style Chari-creatures. It makes for a good family game also.

this game rules because of all its levels its graphics and its bomberman! if youve never played this this game think of this: put together paper mario, bomberman 64 the second attack, golden sun, and zelda. the charaboms are like djinn, yuo have alot of diffrent bombs, cel- shaded graphics, and ALOT of levels

I bought this game for my son for his birthday. He was so excited to get it. He loves playing this game.

It would have gotten only 1.5 stars had it not been for multiplayer. Basically, the story mode sucks. All the levels have the same design even though they are set up differently and have some different puzzles. I don't really get the pokemon inspired buddies that help you. And water bombs aren't all that good.

Here's where multiplayer comes in. It looks very cartoonish, which is good. The converyer belt, pipe level, basketball court, and meadows are great designs and well-executed. I like how you can turn the revnge on or off. And I also like the little soccer part that determines what the winner for a power-up.

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.

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!
