    It looks great, it sounds good and it plays like a real dream, the simplistic gameplay revealing hidden depths and strategies the more you play, with plenty of hilarious moments of death or glory in every game you can play. Blowing up your friends really has never been so much fun!

    It’s multiplayer Bomberman at its finest. With Bomberman Live! you don’t have to get a Wii to play some good, local multiplayer.

    The various game modes, customizability of Bomberman and the ability to play both online or offline with friends makes for a package that, at the price, can't be beat.

    A full-service Bomberman experience - Live Arcade is the perfect platform for it, and $10 is a fair price. We just can't resist. [Sept 2007, p.73]

    The game is a ton of fun, very dynamic in terms of gameplay, and more than worth the asking price of 800 Microsoft Points ($10USD).

    The full Bomberman experience with a ton of options and addictive online mode. XBL Silver members approach with caution.

    Enough of the old charm shines through for the eight online or local players to have a blast. [Issue#24, p.100]

    Without doubt the best XBLA arcade title yet! Buy more pads, invite your mates, order the pizzas and crack open the beers.

Back in the Mega Drive and PSone days I spent many an hour playing Bomberman with friends and this is the same game it always was.
