Bomberman coming to X360 News

Xbox 360 PSP News by Paul Loughrey

11 May, 2006

Following his most recent campaign of explosive entertainment on the Nintendo DS, we've just heard that Bomberman is planning to leave his scorch marks on both Xbox 360 and PSP.

The 360 version, Bomberman Act Zero, pits you against a horde of wannabe super soldiers deep within an experimental underground facility. Everyone's equipped with armoured battle suits, and it's a simple matter of kill or be killed in your efforts to escape. There are 99 stages, a wealth of armour enhancements and special items to snag and of course "breathtaking high resolution graphics."

There's also a range of character customisation options from gender to colour, armour type and accessories, and up to eight player classic battles via Xbox Live - with the obligatory achievements and points system for world rankings.

Bomberman's PSP debut sounds pretty comprehensive, featuring classic Bomberman characters and environments magically turned into glorious 3D. The normal single-player mode includes a new item storing system so you can strategically plan your use of special weapons and bonuses, and a hundred levels to blast your way through.

Then there's classic mode, with over 50 different levels. And once you've had enough of the solo stuff, you can hook up with friends in over twenty new Wi-Fi multiplayer battle stages with customisable gameplay modes - or there's game sharing for up to four players using a single UMD.

Bomberman PSP and Bomberman Act Zero are both down for release this autumn.

As trevd72 said. Online multiplayer classic bomberman would be great. Instead it sounds like another ballsed up modern 'reimagining'.

Saturn Bomberman didn't have the ability to pick up other Bombermen with the Powerglove (I think that might have been Atomic Bomberman on the PC), but it did have the massive ten player mode, which was awesome

Maybe, Frod, you don't have a big enough TV or a big enough sofa. You just keep enjoying your tiny screen ;)

I wonder if they are still thinking about original bomberman for arcade now they're releasing the new one - it wasn't confirmed or anything last time I checked, it was just an idea someone had that they'd like to do.

Lets face it, it's not really a bomberman game. It m,ay be fun, but calling it bomberman is going to cause issues due to comparisons with older versions.

Bomberman:Act Zero is just a massive piss-take of everything Xbox, all the pseudo-maturity and FPSs and futuristic-style green fonts and whatnot. It's the people taking it completely seriously ("omg they ruined teh bomberman!!1") that are getting on my tits.

oh, and the PSP one? Sentai parody. Power Rangers and such things. If the Euro publishers knew what they were doing, they'd call it Bomberman Rangers or something. But they probably won't.
