Critic Reviews

90 Zentendo
Few DS titles on the shelves right now can compare to the addictive (and often nostalgic) delights found in BLT2. The playability stands as an example of how DS touch games should be made.
83 n-Revolution Magazine UK
Online play is stupendous. [Issue#21, p.85]
80 Cubed3
The core Story Mode and the various mini-games contained therein are mildly enjoyable diversions for a time, but what you're likely to really want to sink you're teeth into is the classic Battle Mode and its excellent online support.
80 Pocket Gamer UK
While not exactly a revolution, Bomberman Land Touch! 2 is a worthy successor to a worthy title, with a credible single-player mini-game campaign and a truly superb range of multiplayer options.
80 Modojo
Bomberman Land Touch 2 does exactly what it needs to do, lets you bomb your way through various mini-games and an insanely fun battle mode for a pretty modest price.
80 Games Radar
There aren't many multiplayer party collections that offer this much bang for the buck.
80 1UP
You'll find enough options and maps to keep you happy, the best part definitely being the eight-player support with one cart. Slightly less cool is the four-player support via Nintendo's Wi-Fi connection, though it's tough to complain.
79 IGN
As a standalone package, Bomberman Land Touch! 2 is a wholly recommended Nintendo DS game: the mini-games are fun, the adventure is fulfilling, and the multiplayer support is an absolute blast. But for those who've already fronted the thirty bucks for the original game, it might be a harder sell.
72 Cheat Code Central
I did enjoy this game, but overall it was just a bit too shallow. It reminded me of playing any Mario Party title all by my lonesome.
72 Jolt Online Gaming UK
Bomberman Land Touch! 2 is something of a glorified update, albeit to an admittedly still enjoyable game that benefits greatly from competitive online play.
72 Games Master UK
Too similar to the first agame but it's a simple and engaging adventure. [May 2008, p.85]
70 EuroGamer
There's a good day or so's simple, colourful fun in there for those who can stomach Bomberman's sugar-coated world.
70 Maxi Consolas (Portugal)
Some ten mini-games that might entertain you for a while but fail to offer something new when compared with the previous game. But, of course, it’s the Battle mode with up to eight players that will provide all of the fun. [May 2008]
70 GameZone
This game is a solid collection of mini-games with a complete Story Mode and addictive multiplayer; it’s just more of the same, however, and in need of a facelift.
70 Gamer.nl
Bomberman Land Touch! 2 is just like its predecessors. Very enyoable. The story mode is mostly the same as the first game in the series. The combination of the classic Bomberman-mode and a online option guarantees us of hours of play.
67 Game Revolution
Bomberman Land Touch! 2 proves that deception truly is a sly creature.
60 Nintendojo
The action is solid, and there are plenty of maps and options (including Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection play), but there's little that series fans haven't seen before. [Feb 2008, p.88]
60 games(TM)
If you own any of the three previous Bomberman DS titles – or indeed any Bomberman game since the first SNES Super Bomberman – then the only new experiences on offer here are found in the mini-games and story. [May 2008, p.122]
50 Gamestyle
If you have no other way to play Bomberman then by all means pick this up for the online modes, otherwise it is best left on the shelf.
