Bomberman Live gets update

By Robert Purchese Published 19 November, 2007

Nips and tucks.

Hudson has whipped a new title update for Bomberman onto Live, fixing lots of niggling bits and pieces.

You can preview game rules from the lobby before you start, for instance, and there is less waiting between matches - 20 seconds if you're asking. Those of you with more than six figures in your scores should now have it displayed properly in the leaderboards, too, and if you win a bout you will have your Gamertag show up instead of a Bomberman head and you can brag for a full minute.

Changing between costumes from Bomb-Up Packs 1 and 2 should now save properly, and kicking bombs into each other should result more often in dangerous bombs. Finally Scavenger can now be turned on for the Plunder Isle map, and there should be less power-up lag when playing online.

Bomberman Live! was released in July on XBLA for 800 Points (GBP 6.80 / EUR 9.60) and is well worth the money. Pop over to our review if you don't believe me.

    I haven't played this in ages =(

    They need to sort out the online usage of the DLC. Ive bought 1 pack and if I set the level type to RANDOM (which of course since I cant change this once the lobby is created) people who dont have the pack cant get in.
    How hard can it be to work out that players in lobby dont have the DLC... so dont pick the new levels.
    FFS sort it out hudson !

    You'll find that's just how live works, same thing on PGR1 on the xbox and GRAW on the 360, no DLC, no joining the game. Hence why alot of DLC is fairly useless, Lost Planet for example, no one played the new maps after like the first week of them being out because they couldn't get a game otherwise.

    That's a fairly standard issue with DLC, it would be nice if MS were to bust a few heads over stuff like this!
