Advantages: Cheap
Disadvantages: Complete install is 500MB
Atomic Bomberman should have been so much better. There's little to beat a large multiplayer game, especially when its as simple a premise as this - blow up your opponents and don't get blown up yourself. It was even cheap - only £4.99.
Unfortunately the game is a poor interpretation of the classic Dynablaster on the Amiga. That game was much more fun. Bomberman's graphics are pretty basic, nothing to write home about. The biggest thing that surprised me was the installation options - if you don't install everything onto your computer, it can suddenly pause mid-game to read from your CD drive. If you perform a complete install, well, its 500MB!!! Surely this is a bit excessive, and smacks of lazy programming.
Buy this if you want a cheap distraction for an hour or two, but don't expect longevity - you'll be fed up with it before long.

- 14/03/01 I agree with the opinion, but you haven't really explained any of the features of the game or even what the game is about. If you do write more I'll be happy to rerate. |

- 25/12/00 You can get it from somewhere like HMV or Virgin for £4.99 (this is the PC version though, not the PSX, although I saw that in Electronics Boutique for £9.99).
I remember playing multi-player games of a version called DynaBlaster for the Amiga - that was much more fun to play. I would avoid this game, even if it is so cheap.
As for Lineone, you can currently get a free copy of Rollcage (a rather good racing game) and a £5 Amazon voucher for free - you don't even have to use the account! |

- 16/12/00 £4.99 ?!? Where the hell from?
I read somewhere that you could select previous versions of the game rather than the 3d update - is that true?
I always found this a really good 4/5 player game - surely that should still be the case. I never once went under the premise that the single player game was any good.
I think Lineone give this software free if you introduce someone to their service - but no one I know is sucker enough for Lineone! |
