    The lack of stage types and offline multiplayer hinder the game's longevity a bit, but overall, Act: Zero plays well, the new FPB mode is fun, and the Standard mode still offers classic Bomberman fun. [JPN Import]

    Could do with a few more options, but otherwise quite good. [Nov 2006, p.84]

    It trades off tried-and-true design decisions for things that would have made great bonuses in a better-made title.

    As the saying goes, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." And the classic Bomberman was definitely not broken.

    Bomberman Act: Zero has cleverly tricked me into thinking it was a full fledged triple-A title with its price tag of $50, but after playing the game for five minutes I realized that this game is more like something you would pay 400 Microsoft Points for to download off of the Xbox Live Arcade.

That is theAs a game and system collector I never wanted to buy this game. I went to a used games store and I saw the game for 50 cents.lol. That is the only time I have ever seen a game priced so low at this place. You only have 1 life and no save points and there are 99 levels (I think) So I wanted to see how far I could get, after retrying countless times, I finally started getting the hang of it.. Most of the time the AI will blow itself up. After getting to level 52 I messed up and I died. There is nothing more frustrating than dieing that far in the game. You will then get a "you lose" (or something like that) robotic voice and it sends you back to the main menu. When did Bomberman turn into a BDSM look a like game? They should of just called this game BDSM robots because this game sure does like to torture you. They tried to take a more mature route with this game and it wasn't a good idea at all. Even if you didhave save points in this game it doesn't save it. The camera doesn't work either when you are in that First person perspective mode. The game should of never been created, but I'm still glade that I bought it for 50 cents and this will go into my vault of one of the worse games to ever be created along with superman 64,Bubsy 3d and Action 52 ( I don't have Action 52) but played the rom.… Full Review »

The graphics are terrible and look like an early 2000s game. Bomberman's redesign is horrible, and he went from a cute character into an atrocious-looking robot that looks also terrifing. The announcer doesn't sound that well and she sounds like she's bored out of her mind. Also, there's no save feature. While the game saves data relating to other stuff in the game, you must be however connected online in order to save. Also, dying will make you return to the first level of the game. Also, while 99 levels is a good choice, they are sadly boring in this game. Not to mention, the game can be beaten in 2 hours, which is short. The only good thing about this game is the soundtrack. It sounds good, but it is sadly forgettable and isn't very memorable. Seriously, stay away from this game and do not buy it. Buy a different Bomberman game if you want.… Full Review »
