I'm absolutely amazed that this ever made it to market.

Bomberman: Act Zero is the kind of game you'd shake your head and sigh at if it were a $20 dollar game made by some no-name developer for the PC... probably WWII themed. However, when a title like Bomberman comes out for the 360, for FIFTY DOLLARS... god, until you play this game you don't realize what kind of atrocity THAT is... fifty dollars, you expect something more. Like a save function. ANY SAVE FUNCTION. EVEN A CHECKPOINT FUNCTION. I'm not kidding, You cannot save. Ever. In 99 levels. It's like a huge shaggy dog joke really.

This game is both bad and broken. It's ugly, chunky, blurry graphics are stunningly bad, and the take on bomberman as some kind of battledroid is just... lame. Clearly the art department here made the "scariest" bomberman they could but he still ends up looking, and sounding, like a slightly congested and bloated grunt from Halo. Wheee... just the avatar I want to play with.

As for gameplay... there is none. Ok, I'm sure there is gameplay, but I couldn't play for more than 30 minutes at a time without weeping, and after 4 hours I decided that more exposure to this game would be pointless. I don't care if Halo 3 comes right after the 4th hour... it's not worth it.

First person bombing. Sort of like a 3D Sonic The hedgehog meeting up with some weird broken version of medroid prime... taking little dumps along mazes that look like autocad designs of Doom hallways.

Sound: It doesn't matter. Frankly, none of this matters. This game is AWFUL. If it were a 5 dollar game, I might go to greater lengths to dissuade prospective buyers, but at $50 dollars, only the insane will buy this game and not return it the same day.
