A fantastic game that serves to not only pay tribute to Bomberman's proud heritage and introduce a new audience to the old classic, but prove that there's a new lease of life for Bomberman in 2008 and on the Wii.

All you really need to know about Bomberman Land on the Wii is that it's great fun in multiplayer and not worth playing alone.

If you're trying to decide which of Bomberman's recent adventures to try out, we recommend Bomberman Land Touch! 2 for the DS. However, if you specifically have eyes on Bomberman Land for the Wii, there's a good amount of fun content included.

Bomberman Land is a shining light in an otherwise drab wasteland of terrible mini-game collections.

If you like Bomberman, there is no reason not to check this game out, it's a perfect weekend rental.

Bomberman Land Wii has a lot of tasks to accomplish despite its perceived image as merely a minigame collection. While this is the meat of the game, all of its customization, unlockable content, challenges, and the added classic mode help to bolster its value, especially when considering that it has a default price of only thirty dollars.

Fans will appreciate the classic versus bombfests and the multitude of modes and maps, but the lack of online play means many solo players will be stuck competing against lame bots.

We can't dismiss it entirely because it does have a nice-looking bonus update of classic Bomberman. But the adventure mode is seriouly poor. Think twice, bomberfans.

I love the classic Bomberman in this game; in fact that is about the only thing I like about this game. The new content of this game is boring and not worth the price of admittance.

The classic mode is still decent, but shoddy visuals, no online mode and a basic quest give this a budget feel. [Apr 2008, p.90]

Bomberman needs a refresher course in high explosives - or a holiday. [May 2008, p.85]

Like I said, if you're looking for another mini-game frenzy and can't wait to invite your friends over, be careful with what you choose; this is not the one.

Ah, kids...Let me tell you a story. It'll honestly be more enjoyable for you than this game.

Bomberman Land does a good job at compiling a fairly good collection of mini-games but the bad story mode overshadows it.

Compared to other minigame collections, Bomberman Land is a dud.

Due simply to its own mediocrity, this is another Bomberman that fails to make a bang. [June 2007, p.114]

The only redeeming factor about Bomberman Land is the inclusion of the archaic (but still awesome) Battle Mode. While it's lacking a bit in options -- only six modes to choose from -- at least it's a blast to battle it out with your buds.

Most of these mini-games are simplistic, monotonous affairs that require over-demanding skills to earn any kind of real accomplishment. The story is boring too, and impossible to skip past.

And would it have been that hard to include direct character control instead of using a remote-only point-and-click interface? [Mar 2008, p.86]

Bomberman Land Wii is simply the weaker version of Bomberman Land Touch!. The game which was released a year ago for the NDS. The visuals and audio of the game disappionts us. The minigames are average of quality and it lacks a WiFi support. Luckily the developer has put the original Bomberman game on the disc as well. Else the result would even been lower.

Overall, this whole package seems held together with a cheap sticky-tack feeling that just leaves us wanting to cry.

Bomberman Land isn’t worth a purchase on any level. The story mode’s cut scenes are boring and consume way too much play time, the mini games are dull and endlessly repetitive and the battle mode, while fun, is available elsewhere for much less.
