Bomberman Critic Reviews
A very basic game that is “easy to learn yet hard to master,” Bomberman places opponents in a simple arena containing blocks, some breakable and some indestructible, and challenges players to trap their enemies in the blast radius of a bomb as it...read the complete Bomberman review at DS Advanced
Bomberman at his best. The classic 2D design keeps the game simple and perfectly suited to D-pad controls, and the touch screen allows for quick access to power-up items and lets you navigate the setup menus much more quickly than button presses....read the complete Bomberman review at Game Chronicles
The Bomberman series has always been one of the staples in multiplayer videogame history, and Bomberman DS doesn't disappoint in living up to its reputation. The concept of having a cute little guy with an oversized head placing bombs around in a...read the complete Bomberman review at Planet Gamecube
The setup is familiar, of course: from a top-down view, you guide your cute lil' explosives expert through various maze-like stages, setting bombs that detonate at 90-degree angles after a few seconds. The idea is to catch enemies (or in multiplayer,...read the complete Bomberman review at Games are Fun

Bomberman is an addicting game. There's nothing quite like it as it occupies a niche somewhere between the puzzle and action genre, with a side order of strategy. The premise is simple. Bomberman navigates through a maze-like grid. The enemy also travels...read the complete Bomberman review at Cheat Code Central

Just take it as read that you shouldn't buy this game if you're not going to play it with friends, and assume that the verdict is based on those who will be making their pals go pop on a regular basis....read the complete Bomberman review at Eurogamer
The answer, it seems, is "not much". And thus we have Bomberman DS, a fine title in one of the best multiplayer game series in the industry... and one that doesn't bring much of anything new to the table. To Hudson's credit, it's not for lack of trying,...read the complete Bomberman review at Digital Entertainment News
Bomberman is everywhere. He's been everywhere, and he'll continue to be everywhere. He's been on TurboGrafx-16. He's done the Saturn. In fact, we're even pretty sure that he's hiding under your desk...read the complete Bomberman review at GameSpot
Aside from the boss battles, not one of those stages offers any kind of depth or variety; 10-year-old Bomberman games were more interesting. Multiplayer, however, delivers....read the complete Bomberman review at Electronic Gaming Monthly

The DS version of Bomberman does little to mess with the series’ successful formula, but it does throw a few new things into the mix. For starters, up to eight people can play the game at once, and all you need is a single cartridge. Since the game is...read the complete Bomberman review at Gaming Horizon
Anyone who’s ever played a Bomberman game before can feel free to skip the next few paragraphs, but for my fellow noobs, here’s the deal: the Bomberman playfield is set up like a grid, with only horizontal and vertical movement allowed. The goal in...read the complete Bomberman review at Game Helper
The main appeal of these types of games is in the multiplayer. This hasn’t stopped Hudson from including a single player mode. The single player mode is exactly what you would expect, you have to go through level after level defeating the enemies that...read the complete Bomberman review at PALGN AU
A more generous perspective would say it's more of the classic Bomberman multiplayer we've all come to know and love. It's the comfort food of videogames, and if that's enough for you, this is more than sufficient as an 8-player hold-me-over....read the complete Bomberman review at 1UP

edge to it, though ironically it does suit the gameplay down to a tee. The only major reason for fans of the genre to pick up this title is the multiplayer battle mode, as the single player aspect will provide little challenge to the initiated, and newcom...read the complete Bomberman review at WHAM!

Although it fails to visually inspire any sense of awe, Hudson’s creation astounds the player by taking Nintendo’s advice and creating something fresh with a formula that’s existed since the eighties. Well...read the complete Bomberman review at Nintendojo
Surrounded by a repetitive single player, ugly graphics and a boring presentation, Bomberman shines incredibly brightly on the DS when you hook up with a few friends (who don't even need to own the game themselves!) Thanks to some innovative uses of the h...read the complete Bomberman review at AceGamez

On a console as truly different as the DS is from anything before it, a Bomberman game should feel much more new than this one does. We’ve been here, we’ve done that, and once the 8-player luster wears off -- if you can get that many DS systems in...read the complete Bomberman review at Worth Playing
