Description
Bomberman returns, exploring 6 new realms, bombing enemies
and obstacles in his path and racing to uncover the evil Hige Hige Bandits
Bomb Elements. In each realm, Bomberman finds new challenges that must be
solved in sequence if he is to escape to the next level and find the Hige
Hige's secrets. But along the way, Bomberman encounters friendly new
creatures, which are sure to add to his bomber-battling powers.
Review
With beautiful cell shaded graphics, some people may be
thrown back from this game. Bomberman has never been about realism though
and this graphic style suits the game very well. In Bomberman's newest
escapade, he must retrieve the powerful bomb elements before a gang of
pirates can get to them. Bomberman must travel through many environments
using his bombs and Charabombs to find the elements. Charabombs can be
compared to Pokemon. They come in different types and can have their stats
boosted through collecting items. Once you retrieve one Charabomb, you can
use that one to battle against others and recruit them to your team as well.
Each Charabomb has a certain ability that benefits you. For example, one
Charabomb gives you the ability to throw bombs further, where as another
puts your bomb explosions up to full power. You can even go as far as to
combine Charabombs to form even more powerful creatures. Between Charabomb
raising and level exploration, Bomberman Generations is a fantastic game.
Only problem is that Bomberman can have a tendency to get old quickly.
Fortunately the great multi-player features compensate for this. Still, the
one player adventure can get tedious at times. With great graphics, play
control, and music though, the good game design is augmented to make this
game stellar.
