Review
Plot: A year after Bomberman stopped Brain Bomber he has returned and has revived the Ultimate Weapon. Once again it is up to Bomberman to stop Brain Bombers plan of destruction. That’s basically all you need to know as far as plot goes. This game however is far from a traditional RPGM1 game. You navigate dungeons, bombing bricks and balloons trying to collect new Karabons to learn new skills to advance through the dungeons. This is a puzzle-based game, leaving most RPG elements out.
Pros: There are so many good things that can be said about this game. The sprites are wonderfully done. It must have taken a long time to make them all. This game doesn’t use RPGM1’s default map system and instead he uses a custom one. The way he represents towns is very neat, especially Superior Base. The combination of textures made it look really cool. In fact most of the game is designed really pretty. The way you get to Underground Canm is another example of Ezalb creativeness with the textures. The best part about the game is the game play. It’s fun! I found myself really getting into it when red balloons were chasing me and trying to bomb my way to the exit. The boss battles were fun, but hard. Though, they were hard, I never felt like they were cheap or impossible. If anything, when I died it made me want to get back at them bastards! There was a pretty cool mini game called Bomb Runner. It was somewhat fun and done well, but I wasn’t rewarded for doing it in anyway. Still, it was a good addition to the game. Even the way the Game Over was done was good. You fail and Brain Bomber will come and kill you himself.
Cons: As much fun as I had, there is a few things that could have been fixed. There was a few spelling errors, but nothing that really bothered me. There is a building in Canm that leads to an empty snowfield. There was a building in the top corner, but it was the interior and no way of getting in. I was stuck and forced to restart my PS3. When you first get the ability to kick the orange dots the dot in the room you can kick all the way off the screen, through the wall texture. A simple switch could make it so you can only kick it one or two times. During one of the puzzles, one of the moving blocks moved out of the room and I had to chase it down. It didn’t break the game at all, but it should stay in the room. The last thing would be the yellow balloons. You need to bomb them, but you only can from a certain direction. It got really annoying when they wouldn’t face you. You try to go to the other side and they turn on you.
Overall I had a great time with this RPGM1 game. If you ever need a break from traditional RPGM1 games give Bomberman Tournament 2: Special Edition a shot. 8.75/10
