Bomberman Act Zero... blows

So me & Phi were at EBGames yesterday, crack open Bomberman Act Zero and throw it into the 360 demo station.

Man this game SUCKS.

A) There’s no offline multiplayer, and if there is I sure as hell couldn’t find it. Goddam it’s bomberman for cryin out loud… you’re supposed to play with other players.

B) There’s health?.. so I can get hit with like 9 bombs in a match that takes forever and a day if it wasn’t for the time.

C) The AI sucks so much ass that I ran around the entire level blowing shit up and ended up winning because the computer blew itself up. (Mind you it takes like 5-9 bombs to kill you… I wasn’t fully counting).

D) After a bomb explodes, the blast lasts for 3 seconds. In other words once you blow up something, you better not walk towards it for 3 seconds or your health is ggpo.

E) The camera is ass. You can zoom in and out like 1 or 2 inches or something. Who cares, you can’t see the entire level.

Damn they fucked this game up bad. Anyone is welcome to counter me on this, but I’m an avid bomberman player (favorites being Super Bomberman 5 > Saturn Bomberman > Atomic Bomberman PC), and this shit isn’t bomberman. Boycott this piece of crap.

I posted my thoughts in this thread. I agree, Bomberman Act Zero not pretty to play. At all.

Stupid thing is, not only is the AI dense, but you can ‘trap’ yourself with the AI characters knowing you’ll survive the ensuing blast because of the health thing. The camera thing you mentioned only applies to one game mode, there’s another game mode with the ‘classic’ camera. Though it has lives instead of health bars…

God damn, Hudson just needs to release Saturn Bomberman on Live and be done with it. Ten player Bomberman on Live > everything else in the entire world ever.

EDIT: Ha ha, it gets better! There’s a crouch button - a fucking CROUCH BUTTON - which protects you from bombs and means you don’t take as much damage!

It looks like Bomerman: TO THE EXTREME. It fills me with equal parts rage and sadness. How can they shit on a franchise like this?

They should just make a port of the Sega Saturn Netlink version. I have my netlink modem but somehow lost my Saturn :confused:

Damn, thanks for the heads up - I was gonna get this.

I agree - release Saturn Bomberman, PLEASE (I never played it)

Only Bomberman I played was the DC one but it was the SHIT!

Damn you liked that piece of shit? lol… sorry that just wasn’t bomberman.

Bomberman is a FAST game… DC/PSP versions are like Karate Champ compared to the Super 5 and Saturn and DS are like Marvel.

If you want some hardcore bomberman you can’t have that new age shit. The bombs and physics were way too different on DC/PSP.

BTW the PSP is the one that just came out. But at least these 2 are better than Act Zero.

Bomberman Online was beautiful, the best damned 4 player game on DC next to San Francisco Rush 2049!!!

Man I miss those days lol
