Bomberman: Act Zero
Bombs away! Literally. This thing is an absolute stinker.

Labeled With  Bomberman Review Hudson Soft Konami

“I woke up in dark cold basement. Is this a dream or reality? Why? What for? Who brought me here?” –Bomberman: Act Zero

While this quote/marketing tagline for Bomberman: Act Zero attempts to purvey the dire status of this character, don’t be worried about figuring out the answer or attempting to understand more about the plot, because Hudson Soft (the developers) won’t end up ever telling you. Thus begins the perilous software journey that is Bomberman: Act Zero (B:AZ).

For decades, the Bomberman series has been a cult favorite among gamers and even non-gamers. Loved by many for it’s simple, yet deep gameplay and all-ages understanding that violence can be given a thinly-veiled cuteness that can disarm even the staunchest child protection advocate. Bomberman has seen action on nearly every console, but is best known for its Super NES and Sega Saturn renditions, which are considered by many to be the strongest versions.



Hot bombing action.


Fast forward to now. As of writing, the XBOX 360 is the most powerful and capable console on the market. The games that are coming out now are of the “second software generation,” yielding impressive graphics and deep gaming experiences that have pushed beyond what the last generation was capable of. Taking all this into account, it must be said up front that B:AZ is an absolute stinker of an XBOX 360 game, and frankly wouldn’t even cut the mustard on a portable these days.
