- Originally published on GameSpot: Bomberman (N-Gage) Review
Bomberman has been around for a long, long time--as long as perennial favorites like Zelda or Mega Man. However, it's been somewhat more difficult for Bomberman to adapt to the times, and Bomberman today isn't radically different from Bomberman in 1985. Hudson has now brought its half-puzzle, half-action game to the N-Gage, and unsurprisingly, it doesn't do anything terribly exciting with the established formula of the series--but it also doesn't muck things up too badly either.
If you've played Bomberman before, you know what you're getting into with Bomberman on the N-Gage. If not, here's a quick primer: You're placed on a square, gridlike map filled with enemies and obstacles, both of which you can obliterate using bombs. When the bombs detonate, they send out an explosion in all four directions, destroying any obstacles and enemies in their path. If Bomberman is unlucky enough to be standing within the bomb's blast, he'll be incinerated too. As you blast away boulders and oddly shaped enemies, you'll regularly uncover power-ups that can have a range of effects, such as extending your blast radius, allowing you to lay more than one bomb at a time, letting you detonate bombs at will, and even providing you with a Yoshi-like lizard to ride around on, which greatly increases your movement speed.
