Bomberman 64

The Good
In this addition to the Bomberman series I can honestly say there are a few things I did like. I thought it was cool that in the battle mode after you die you can still be a part of the game rather than just spectate. When you die you come back as a Bomberman ghost and you can actually interfere with the surviving players. It's every losers dream come true! As a Bomberman ghost you can chase around the alive players and if you manage to catch one of them you jump on there back and cover there eyes. Now you can control them an seek vengeance. Oh beautiful vengeance.

Another positive out of this garbage of a game was the maps were much more technical. Opposed to the square arena's now there is multi-level and multi-shape arenas.

Overall Bomberman 64 is lucky i'm the optimistic type, otherwise this "What I liked" segment of the review would be blank.

The Bad
I really hated how the multi-player battle mode was changed. Usually changes are made to better a game, what were they thinking! Instead of using your bombs to blow up the blocks separating you from you opponents(as in Mega Bomberman), there are no blocks! Now you all just roam a basically open arena. In the older games you had to earn power-ups. Now you start with kick bomb!?! So now there are a bunch of Bombermen running around kicking bombs across an open arena. There's no dodging bombs using walls, trapping opponents or the classic mistake of misplacing a bomb trapping you in certain death.

This game actually managed to give Bomberman a bad name, especially for those who unfortunately never played the good Bomberman games.

The Bottom Line
Possibly fun for those who enjoy single-player and want to try something new. For those who loved the classic multi-player, don't even bother.
