    If nothing else, it should satisfy gamers looking for a good party game and a little more lighthearted fun during their breaks away from their more serious games.

    It has become a generic version of itself through its re-birth. It's not worth more than a rental.

    While the Bomberman franchise is chock full of potential, Bomberman Jetters squanders the good things it has going for it in order to serve up another dish of reprocessed mediocrity.
  5. Game Chronicles

    Bomberman Jetters has its faults. Bad voice acting, dated graphics and a preternaturally challenging multiplayer AI all detract from the general experience it provides. However, they aren't enough to kill its charm, well-tuned gameplay and multiplayer allure.
  6. GameSpot
    60
    The few ways in which Jetters differs from its predecessor don't improve upon the formula in any way; instead, there is a heavier focus on an insipidly lame storyline and an almost completely unnecessary second playable character.

    Bomberman Jetters does offer a few new features but unfortunately not enough to substantially impact the gameplay.
  8. GMR Magazine

    At times, the game's saccharine sensibilities make the challenges, though very real, hard to swallow.

    If you're thinking about picking this game up for the single-player experience, think again. It's simple, primitive, and frankly, boring, a description that adequately illustrates the title's visuals, too.

    Along with the beautiful anime cutscenes comes horrible voice acting.
  11. Nintendo Insider

    The game now relies more on luck than actual skill and thinking; things such as mini-games, Charabom battles/merging and Coin Battle in Battle Mode have been taken out; and the game just seems too “cute” at times.
  12. Nintendo Power

    Single-player action is packed with minigames. Multiplayer action presents classic Bomberman play with a host of new selectable characters. [Apr 2004, p.122]

    The single player mode is one of the worst attempts at a Bomberman adventure yet, and the multiplayer mode is fun but still sits below the bar set by multiple Bomberman titles that have released over the years.

    Arrgh... this game blew my mind! The graphics are too anime-riffic (Story mode, I mean!), and what's with the voices? Some of them Arrgh... this game blew my mind! The graphics are too anime-riffic (Story mode, I mean!), and what's with the voices? Some of them appear to be some other chacter's voices, but other then that, I'm impressed. My favirote character is Hindu Bandit (Did I spell that right?) no. 1. This game is suprising enough. Now... if only there were a music generator for the GameCube...… Full Review »
