That might've been the tagline for this predecessor in Bomberman history but obviously this game has not aged well. Starting with the bad points this game's story mode starts off slow with a somewhat rough learning curve for the rather clunky controls. You might instantly get used to the controls and find the game a breeze but then you'll notice, the graphics... they're bad, even for N64. The single player mode will also become short if you can just play through this game like a bomberman wiz, which isn't impossible. Now this game does have good points, not enough to hold its own as a true blue Nintendo Classic though. This game to its own credit as the first 3d bomberman game does fairly well, Hudson managed to create a decent adventure game. This game has memorable characters, the ones who might as well be embedded into your memories as childhood heroes and villains regardless of their part. Level design isn't perfect aesthetically but provides a bit of puzzle for the younger player which only makes it more satisfying to win since you're likely solving problems by blowing them up. Then there's bossfights, like a good round of bomberman with a friend these things are challenging, satisfying to win, and only get you more and more pumped when you lose. Bottom line, if you liked another Bomberman game on the N64 you'll be able to give this one a passing mark and just maybe love it for bringing back some memories. Otherwise you'll want to steer clear of this one, go for Bomberman The Second Attack for a better rendition on this type of game or Bomberman Hero if you're looking for some action or a challenge.Read full review
The N64 is and has always been my favorite game system hands down. It was a revolution for its time. This game was one of its many crowning moments. While the control scheme lacked a little bit and the camera was hard to control in certain situations, it is a very user-friendly game. Those who have the difficult time with the controls unfortunately won't be able to make it very far in the game, but the first levels on each world have a very good replay value. The gold cards are a challenging enough goal that, even those players who do have the skill to get through the story, will have a hard time getting all of the gold cards to unlock the secret final level. Bomberman came back from the unknown in this game and it was a damn fine return. But the party didn't stop after one game. Bomberman Hero and Bomberman 64: The Second Attack! were both released following the success of Bomberman 64. Personally, I think BM 64: TSA was the best and to any and all who enjoyed the first, i highly recommend the second.Read full review
The bomberman franchise has spanned dozens of consoles and seen many spin-offs, good and bad. This is one of the good guys. As per usual, here is my pro's and con's of Bomberman 64. Pro's... -- 3D setting, less restrictive than past bomberman games. -- Custom, unlockable characters. -- A fun variety of different weapons. -- Storyline, which gets more interesting after beating the game. -- Four-player games on the n64? ALWAYS FUN. -- Great graphics for the n64 Con's... -- Janky controls -- Depth perception issues with telling how far away you can stand from bombs. -- Definitely a step in a different direction from classic bomberman. -- Needs more intuitive level design -- Game is very short Basically, if you're reading this in the year 2007 or beyond, you're probably a retro games nut like myself, and if so, this is a very quality game reminiscent of the n64 "party-games" era. Go pick it up for a few bucks. It'll be worth your while.Read full review
This game is a fun game for the whole family!!! The multi Player mode is sweet because your try to bomb each other and then when time goes down something will happen like the water below you will rise up! The single Player Mode is also really fun!!! You battle your way through 4 worlds to break them off from the evil planet where you will defeat the final boss. You can also recieve the rainbow palace as a bounus level. Also in Multi Player their is a cheat the get even more more levels in Multi Player!!! This is a fun game that you will enjoy forever and ever!!!!
Bomberman64 is a lot like its SNES predecessors - the premise is unchanged, though things have become less rigid and grid-based with the advent of 3D. There is a story campaign, with boss fights and sprawling levels characteristic of games from the N64's heyday, but that's not why I bought this game: I bought it for the multiplayer. Yes indeed, the multiplayer mode in Bomberman64 makes it easily worth a purchase. The sheer wackiness of competitive bombing - kicking, throwing, and inflating bombs all over the place - is great casual fun, and combined with the variety of hectic stages, each with their own hazards that activate when battles drag on too long (meteors raining from the sky or sinking into the sea) it makes for a varied and interesting addition to your library.
Has a fun adventure mode with good levels and problem solving but the real seller for me is the battle option. With up to four friends you can choose an arena and battle it out by dropping, throwing, and kicking bombs at your opponents. If you die early enough you become a ghost and can then jump on the still living battlers backs and kind of direct them onto the bombs they placed. Its a great game that I've loved on one my favorite systems of all time.
The Good: Personal Idea: This presented my childhood favorite game. Story or something like that: This game gives you once more, "Bomberman" "The PINK MALE COLOR LOVER" That is something I always hated about him though. But I gotta say he's my favorite pink character at least. Well anyways,it has 5 or 4...worlds(LOL,clue!,clue!)that are connected to another world or ship by some chains?.well anyways, this installation came with something no other bomberman game came with."Element like warriors" that really made a tick for my brain when i was a kid.I can't say spoilers,I know that. But I will say something intriguing:In the ice world you will challenge Regulus,A Character i will never forget,he used bombs to pummel you (Wow Original)but he had a sword that he could use to kill you.I Have to say the character was my 3rd favorite character of all time and i wished he lived on. somehow the director of these bomberman series read my mind and regulus was back on the sequel as bulzeeb (Bomber Man The second attack) But never seeing again (review coming soon). The Bad: Horrible,ACK Graphics,EVEN FOR THAT TIME 1997!!! you can visit the stages but!! you will solve puzzles with bombs,bombs and more bombs. really basic really...Basic.Controls are stubborn sometimes,but you can get used to them. Conclusion: YOU WILL ONLY LIKE TO FIGHT BOSSES THAT IS MY FAVORITE PART OF THE GAME EVERYBODyS I GUESS. AND OF COURSE THE REAL ENDING BUAHAHAHAHHARead full review
