Disadvantages: tacky

Bomberman's evolved many times over the years, starting from the days when he was known as Atomic Punk. Well, the PlayStation's finally got him and his bombs, and while he may look a little different on the surface, he's got the classic gameplay we all know him for.
The PlayStation version, Bomberman World, tips the familiar overhead perspective in a more 3D, isometric angle. There's two ways to play the game: for one-player modes, the idea is to plant bombs along the playfield to destroy objects and enemies, and wander around to collect gems to advance in the levels.

While the one player game is certainly deep enough, Bomberman was never about solitaire play. It's about five players duking it out in an enclosed arena – this is where the series shines. Strategically plant bombs to trap your opponents, and let a bomb blow straight in his face. The last man standing is the winner. That's the name of the game. The multiplayer mode is all about variety – there's many different locations and each has its own unique element that adds a twist to the gameplay.
