    The truth is that Hudson's perennial classic is still best played in its original form without the associated fluff, so if you've held out for the last 27 years, perhaps it's time you succumbed to being continually blown into little chunks by your friends.

    Bomberman Live: Battlefest is only worth getting if you missed out on the original and are craving for an addictive multiplayer experience that only Bomberman can offer.

    However, Battlefest's plan to play it safe also limits it. No hint of a single-player campaign is included: you're either playing multiplayer matches with humans or simulating them. [March 2011, p.85]

    As a long time casual Bomberman fan, when I heard about Bomberman Live: Battlefest I though "Pointless! No one can improve this formula!" Boy was I wrong! Bomberman Battlefest is seriously the best game on XBL, it's depth makes civilization seem like a pitiful flash game and it's pace makes Need For Speed seem like a gentlemanly stroll in the park. Firstly, the developers have clearly completed a monumental overhaul of the networking system so, though the game may suffer from some lag in extreme cases, the games never mess up or have major bugs like in the last XBLA version. Secondly the additional game modes have genuinely added a tangible depth to the game play. Capture the flag mode is a triumph and is good for intense 2 on 2 matches. Bankroll mode is to Bomberman what counterstrike is to FPS games, and that's a really good thing. Thirdly the new arenas are superb and on the whole look great. The arenas all have a catch, in one, aztec blocks reshape the arena, and in another a pirate ship rocks sliding power ups and bombs around the deck. There's even an arena where there are tiles which redirect flames! Finally the new bombs are awesome! They have cluster bombs and rocket bombs which shoot off in the direction you place them, and these types of bombs and power ups interact really well. Overall, if you haven't played bomberman before, there can't be a better introduction than Battlefest, and if you are a fan, you'll find this the most polished and feature rich bomberman yet!… Expand
