Bomberman review

Bomberman diehards can rest easy, interested new comers have a great game to start with and the PSP's library now has a solid title that actually makes use of the game-sharing feature. The little man who could - by bombing - has made the transition to PSP very nicely, but has brought his baggage with him: single-player is a stone around a strong Bomberman neck. The good news, the big news, is that the game's fast and addictive multiplayer is mostly intact.

Ignoring the 360's gruesome revision of the franchise, the PSP's Bomberman is the iconic character in classic situations. The 3D look, the PSP's nice wide aspect ratio, and all the showy new stuff you can do with items advance the standards of the series' graphics and gameplay while staying very close to the franchise's roots (and fans' hearts).
