lots of fun blowing things up

User Rating: 8 | Bomberman DS
fantastic. bomberman is a ds game that uses both screens but not the stylus. the gameplay is addictive (you start seeing your little bomberman running around when you close your eyes-a sure sign of a good puzzle game). lots of weapons/modifications from which to choose, but i only needed about 5 or 6 of them.

graphics are adequate. sound also. background music is derivative, but catchy. little bit of loading between levels.

i never got to play mulitplayer (none of my friends have a ds, and i'd rather be online listening to music than playing a game), so i can't rate that part, although x-play states that it is the most interesting part of the game.

timing is key: the explosions of the different kinds of bombs versus the speed of the different monsters. i finished the main game levels and put it down. finito.
