    There’s nothing that Bomberman Max 2 does wrong, its just that we’ve all seen it before so many times that it’s starting to get stale.

    The single player quest is a tad tedious, but still entertaining. A good buy. [August 2002, p.91]

    With the game’s inherent frustration factor, Bomberman Max 2 will be a game players return to once in a while and just pick up and play for a little while.

    The game feels closest to 1980s arcade titles in terms of structure and fun.

    The link-up games are a little on the lame side, too, considering that the Bomberman name is synonymous with great multiplayer action.

    Each version features a unique ending and varying objectives for the game's 100 areas. [Apr 2002, p.152]

    A fun adventure game with a decent collecting aspect and a few fun minigames. But compared with meatier strategy RPGs, like Pokémon or Robopon 2, it is difficult to imagine the game keeping anyone's interest over the long term.

    One of those games which stands inches away from greatness.

    If you've already got last year's Bomberman Tournament for GBA, you probably don't need this one as well, unless you're a Bomberman freak.

    Just isn't a very enthralling game.

    Although this game is an awesome one, the one thing that kills it for me is the fact you have to purchase both games. That concept is really Although this game is an awesome one, the one thing that kills it for me is the fact you have to purchase both games. That concept is really starting to get old with these types of games...Bigtime! Other than that, definitely worth checking out.… Full Review »
