With both off and online modes, combined with the classic Bomberman gameplay, this is one game that can most certainly referred to as da' bomb.

Official Nintendo Magazine UK

A brilliant turnaround for Bomberman adventuring and a great mutliplayer game for your DS. [Mar 2007, p.76]

NintendoWorldReport

The combination of online classic Bomberman play and unique mini-games make Touch! Bomberman Land a highly recommended purchase. [JPN Import]

IGN

The adventure has a lot of fun little challenges in its goofy and quirky design, and the Battle Pack -- Bomberman's reason for being -- is a great version of last year's Bomberman DS with solid local and online support.

GameSpot

The highlight of Bomberman Land Touch! is the excellent battle mode that supports as many as four players online and as many as eight offline.

Modojo

The gameplay is pure classic Bomberman in Battle Mode, and the mini-games add some variety to the single-player game to make it a more enjoyable romp this time around.

Gaming Target

This is perhaps the best Bomberman game that Hudson has put out since Saturn Bomberman.

Deeko

The adventure itself is relatively fun and while certainly not similar to previous adventures, provides you with an ample opportunity to strut your stuff, Bomberman themed, in a number of mini-games meant to tax your brain.

Games Radar (in-house)

Sure, Bomberman is still sticking with 2D, and his tale is silly at the least, but there's a ton of gameplay value here. Atlus’s secret release really shouldn’t be kept hidden - it’s the bomb.

NGamer UK

Proper Bomberman action that makes wise use of the Wi-Fi features built into DS. Consider the solo mode as a bonus in a great value package. [JPN Import; Oct 2006, p.63]

Nintendo Power

The inclusion of traditional 2-D Bomberman is also nice, but if you already have Bomberman DS, there's almost nothing new here. [Jan. 2007, p.108]

Pocket Gamer UK

Although the novel RPG Story element is less refined than it could be, with over-long cut-scenes and some tedious schlepping, Bomberman Story is a worthwhile RPG and, more importantly, a terrific multiplayer experience.

Eurogamer

It might not be what Mrs. Hudson wants for him, but Bomberman's still one of the best multiplayer games you can buy, and whether or not you want another version you should at least dig out one of the ones you already own and raise your rollerskates in acknowledgement.

Games Master UK

Neither the best mini-game collection nor the best Bomberman game. [Mar 2007, p.81]

VideoGamer

If anything can be said against the Battle Mode, it is that by modern standards, it feels a little slight.

I was Really impressed with this game. gave it a shot because it got really good reviews, but i was never a bomberman fan. but picked it up, and absolutely loved it. Very addictive.

Justin D. gave it an8:
Upon hearing the name Bomberman, one would expect the classic hunt-down-trap-and-destroy type multiplayer game. The introduction and story mode game play are far different from what could be expected; the ability to run around in an isometric universe and the visiting of mini game houses. This game has creative way of combining adventure and puzzles. The Classic Bomberman, on average, uses the D-pad and a couple buttons whereas Bomberman Land Touch! in the story mode uses only the stylus. It truly lives of to its storyline, with its fast paced action, tons of variety and hours of fun. The style of game play will grow on you within the first half hour of playing it. The goal is simple: master each of the attractions presented and to use what you gain to unlock the secrets of the island. In addition, when all of that’s over, you can relive all the action in the attractions mode. This mode allows you to play any of the cleared attractions from the story mode. In this mode however, you even have the ability to challenge yours friends in a local area network. Just to add the icing to the cake, the software company also added the classic mode. Bomberman Battle Pack mode uses the classic style controls and stages. It also includes some fun new stages and modes of play as well. Having a second screen really doubles the fun especially in the Crown Battle. The classic mode happens to be the only mode available for play on Wi-Fi, and will be compatible with future online Bomberman DS titles with the same icon. If you purchase this game I strongly recommend using the LAN play to its maximum capability, while still taking the time to explore the other fabulous modes of play. Above all, this game, like many Bomberman titles, is a great party game. Try to get as many players to join in as possible for the best experience. If you are thinking of purchasing the game consider these points: On the positive side: - The game is easy to play and follow -controls are simple and easy - Provides a sufficient element of challenge - Lots of variety and becomes hard to put down once you're into it - Also includes the classic mode which we all know and love - Classic games can be customized to your liking -Graphics are simple and generally 2-d but are crisp and clear -has good replay value On the negative side: -The story is nothing too special but the game play is fun nonetheless -Sound is average quality, and re-used for some mini-games. -The game interface during the story mode could be simpler (i.e. finding the the load and exit function) - The single-pak multiplayer attraction mode requires guests to download the attraction each time you wish to switch to different mini-game - Online play is limited, lacks a chat function, and the play modes are fixed - The save system makes it far too easy to accidentally save over a previously saved file (although there is a prompt message to confirm the overwrite) -The story mode could be longer Whether you are a fan of the Bomberman series or not, know that this is another must-see game for the Nintendo DS; that’s why I’m giving this game 4 stars of 5.

Taylor J. gave it an8:
Its a pretty good game, after a while it gets boring with the same old attacks, all you do is throw bombs woopty doo, but is very entertaining. If your looking for a somewhat addicting game this is the one, how ever if you get bored easily by games, this isnt the one but try new super mario bros. its fun and doesnt get boring.
