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!
