The player could make adjustments to the game, such as the number of powerups available per round, the starting bombs or powerups, how quickly bombs explode, or the difficulty setting. Hidden audio samples were left in the game.
These could only be accessed using the game CD. The player could modify audio, or add their own voice. PC owners have had a crack at the game before in the guise of Dynablaster, but this latest incarnation boasts a few utterly unique features. First things first: the visuals. The anime player-characters have been given an 'American' makeover, modelled in 3D Studio or equivalent , rendered, animated and turned into sprites.
They're far less stumpy than the Japanese originals, and consequently far less cute. Veterans of SNES Bomberman might initially wrinkle their noses, but these Bombermen visibly react to the onscreen action. Trap yourself between two bombs, for instance, and your character is likely to start praying, panicking or digging his own grave. There's also a pleasing selection of different 'death animations' cued up, ready to unfold when you inevitably die - sometimes you'll lose an arm in the blast, sometimes your entire head.
The more functional graphical aspects, such as the animated 'walking' sequences, are also impeccable. Pile a huge number of players onscreen and the frame rate drops significantly, although never so far as to render the game unplayable.
And incidentally, real purists can always turn the new spangly bits off and play in lo-fi 'Classic' mode if they prefer. Oh yeah, the multi-player option. Up to ten of you can battle it out at one time. Yes, ten. There's barely room to move, of course, but that's all part of the fun. To fully enjoy this gameplay mode, you'll need one of the following: 1 Ten Microsoft Sidewinder joypads, daisychained together and plugged into one huge, throbbing Demon Seed-style PC, or 2 a modem, a phone line and an Internet account for bombing the crap out of Americans and other Web lowlifes, or 3 your own local area network.
Options 1 and 3 offer the smoothest gameplay, but are the least practical. They're all screaming good fun, although playing free-for-alls in groups of six upwards can be rath confusing - not to mention frustrating when you're one of the first to die and can only contemplate your navel while the others finish the game. Using the new team play option is the best bet for big groups. What else is there to say? Sound effects? Well, the constant stream of 'zany' vocal taunts has grown on us since last issue's preview.
The Joe Pesci soundalike makes us laugh out loud because we've been talking 'Pesci' non-stop ourselves, ever since we watched Casino. Still, you have got the option of recording your own taunts, so the sky's the limit as far as bad language goes. See if you have it in you to visibly turn the air blue. So it's 90 per cent for Atomic Bomberman. It's undeniably addictive, and almost impossible to screw up. The recently-released Sega Saturn version is much better, although you can't play it over the Internet, and even if you could, you'd be hard-pressed to find a single other Saturn-owning sucker out there.
But it does have cuter graphics, spanglier sound and a nice overall feel, so if you do have a Saturn, buy that version instead. Also, don't even consider parting with your cash if you're planning to play solely against the computer because the Al isn't brilliant. Still, those two gripes aside, you can purchase with confidence. Especially since it's cheap. Ever since mankind learnt to combine notes, words and rhythm in order to create 'songs', we've been inundated with explosives-related popular music stuff.
If you can put up with the sometimes lethal jerks in gameplay, and losing 40mb from your hard drive let alone the recommended maximum install of mb for a game that should require less than 5mb, then this title may be worth purchasing.
Remember though: this damning review has not been for fun. This game goes beyond the description of 'flawed' and into a class of its own; mistakes in its design are riddled throughout, and from a company that promotes itself as a bunch of dedicated gamers just interested in making good playable games, and not in great graphics or using new technologies, this is sickeningly hypocritical.
Regardless of its faults, Bomberman 's presence has been established for so long now that dedicated fans are apt to take to this release as much as they did the prequels before it. It has quite a large following already, and those interested should definitely check out Worth a look for Bomberman fans, although the freeware remake Mr. Boom is much more fun than this commercial title.
