It sucks, what more do you need?

User Rating: 1.5 | Bomberman: Act Zero X360
One has to wonder how any living thing would think this game is a good idea. From start to finish, Bomberman Act Zero is a horrible game that will haunt your dreams for years to come. Now, how is a Bomberman game, with no Bomberman?

Story:
Humans have been taken underground by the machines. But one human managed to get free with his trusty armor, that I guess he stole from Wal-Mart. Now, this human is on a dead run to the exit, blow away enemies with what I guess are bombs. So, it's the original story, just a little darker and dumber. The story is never resolved, but who cares?

Gameplay:
You will not believe how hard Konami tries to ensure you will have no fun with this game. The story mode has two types of play. The first one is the standard top down view, which is the better one. The other is in a view called First Person Bomber (FPB). FPB is third person, not first person. It's a sort of close behind the back view point. Why is it called first person, I have no idea. All it does is make it harder to see the enemies. But, FPB mode has a health bar. That makes it easier to get through the 99 rounds. That's right, 99 rounds. No save points, one life, no continues. It's insane they expect you to go through the story mode in one go, and one sitting. Power ups make it easier to get through the levels, which are really easy. If you get bored of the story mode (and you will) then you can play multi-player. But not offline, that would be somewhat fun, only online with Xbox Live. Good luck trying to find a full game of 8 (or someone else who bought this broken down mess). If that's not enough to keep you away, then call the local mental hospital, somehow you got loose.

Graphics:
If I showed you this game, then you will not believe me when I say that this is for Xbox 360. The graphics are bad. The surfaces are blurry and bumpy. Character models are ugly. They really thought changing his look into this was and improvement? I guess just for laughs, I'd like to point out all of the graphics went into making sure the female's brests are as noticeable as possible (way to focus on the importent stuff Konami).

Sound:
This games sounds as bad as it looks. The explosions sound like fire crackers. the music is the most unnoticeable heavy metal music you will hear in your life. Every time you beat a level, or get a power up, the most bored female voice will tell you. Why am I still playing this?

Overall:
If you had a choice between this game and half of a cardboard box, at least that cardboard is less broken then this horrible crap. I searched lon and hard for one good thing, and I really doubt it's worth it. If you REALLY needed to waste some time, and you got bored of slaming you're head against the refrigerator, then this game is perfect for you... along with a CAT scan.

Score: 1.5/10
