Advantages: Fun for whole family. Can play multiplayer

Disadvantages: music is a bit annoying, turn the sound down

If you are familiar with Bomberman, then this is the latest follow up version.

The basic concept is still the same, you roam around the screen and drop bombs and try and blow up your enemies.

The idea this time is that the main computer that controls Techno city (where Bomberman lives) has been taken over by a super virus so the city needs bomberman to save them.

To help Bomberman acheive this, as you move around the levels you collect body parts to upgrade him and make him stronger, such as legs that can perform special kicks, or an outfit that will help you attack your enemies better.

The missions change between the levels and change between blowing up the enemies, destroying the crystals, finding the gate key, and using a certain number of bombs to blow up the same number of boxes.

This is a very additive game and just like the original game it's absolutely brilliant. Although the idea of dropping bombs sounds very violent, its all done in a cartoon like way, and this game is suitable for the whole family. The original Bomberman is still my daughters favourite DS game.

If I had to make any criticism at all, it's that the sound effects are (just like on the first one) all quite high pitched and annoying. It's not the sort of game you would want to play with a headache.

It has the usual DS link up features as well so you can challenge your friends in multi player mode.

Summary: A great DS game, and lots of fun
