Bomberman is only OK, I bought it, they should have added cam support. Why is Texas holdem 4 players via camera and not 8, whoever made this decision I hope they get rid of.

There is only 2 types of games that should ever come out on the arcade

1.Classic Coin-OP games

2.Games like UNO that support video and are easy to pickup for everyone.

All of these other games should have never came out and I feel like I wasted way too much money on games that got boring way too quickly.

So if I had any advice for the arcade team it would be to

A.Get rid of all the games that aren't coin-op classics and UNO games (defined as video support, easy to pick up and high replay value).

B.Focus on making the coin-op games improved from the classic versions by making multiplayer on as many of the titles as they can, and innovative ways to bring the game into the 21st century.

I used to play bomberman world on ps1 4 players like everyday back in the day as i loved playing it. I can't wait to play 8 players online, especially with being able to have 4 people on one xbox. I'm going to go buy a points card tomorrow and then buy the game. Sweet

The tobacco reference is from the customization options where one of the heads has a cigar in his mouth.

The XBOX Vision is used for when you win a match and can rub it in peoples faces at the end screen when you win. Kinda like Command and Conquer 3.

800 points is a good price for this. If you're complaining about the price on this then I'm guessing you have no job, and/or have to ask parents to give you money for stuff like this - that's the only reason I can see complaints about that.

Of course, if you were to complain about 400 points for Yie Ar Kung-Fu, I'd be with you =P You'll have to pay me to play that.

^ Agreed.

For the replay value alone, I pay twice as much. Much better than than lame version released last year.

Wow I cannot believe that people are so ignorant. Anyone who has played Bomberman XBLA and cannot find $10.00 in value, is "in my opinion" a moron.

I remember playing the original Bomberman and the 16-bit versions of this for COUNTLESS hours with my friends and relatives. Who didn't love this game?! Thank you M$, finally a decent XBLA game!

And 8 player online? Freakin' A, man!

Bomberman Live is a great addition to the Xbox LIVE Arcade Library, but it needs a patch soon, otherwise people will just stop playing it ...

anonymous comments are retarded said:

hey guys omg i post anonymous now

I would expect that Microsoft of all people would know how stupid it is to let the general public grab the cloak of anonymity to hide their ignorant fucking opinions.

Seriously, Major Nelson is king of the n00bs if he thinks an anonymous comment system will be anything but a target for junk garbage. Wake up, morons.

But there is something you have to understand is most forums and blogs logs your ip address.

So if you have posted while beeing signed in before it would be easy to figure out who you are.

Not only this but it would also not matter because it is just an easy thing just to ban the ip address using wildcards / resolved domain range. (depending how mean the Major is feeling).

I know i do this on the website i host for my clan.

Bomberman is quite possibly the buggiest game I've EVER played on the 360. It's bordering on mass recall and refunds. If a match isn't laggy to the point where everyone's warping around, you have MULTIPLE glitches with the Super Revenge option (where a game can end for some people and not for others, and the scores at the end do NOT recalibrate, among other problems), and just general glitches like getting your character stuck in place.

I /love/ Bomberman. I've owned way too many versions of this game over the years, and while this features just about EVERY option from past games, the code is the buggiest I've seen in a release.

(I haven't even played single player--this is BOMBERMAN, people. It's all about the multiplayer. So I'm assuming the people who aren't crying foul over the wealth of glitches have only been doing the trial/solo.)

Yie Ar Kung Fu Trivia:

If you were a fan of the much-harder Commodore 64 game, you probably remember the theme music. That song is "Les Chants Magnetiques" (Magnetic Fields, I think it's #5) by Jean Michele Jarre. That drove me nuts for years.

Bomberman is actually ALOT of fun!Well worth the price for a good game.Unfortunately though it's 1 out of 2 ain't bad week because the Yie Ar Kung Fu game sucks.
