Are the bots intelligent, or do they use that nice cheap programming Hudson uses to keep them alive?
Is it worth playing alone? Single player and multiplayer bots? How are the multiplayer levels and such? Are they original?
Pretty much everything.
Pretty Please.

I have played almost every Nintendo version of Bomberman. I think the single player game is very old school traditional gaming. Yes, it is repetitive, but so were so many other games during that classic era of gaming.

Single-player is challenging, just like the old Bombermans...A little more variety in level design would have been nice, but it's good anyway...The bosses (I've fought two so far) were fun and the means of killing them were different...I expect each boss will have different methods of defeat, which is nice
Multiplayer is obviously the meat of this, and any, Bomberman...I played through a few more modes, such as Skull (played in a graveyard with lots of mystery items (which end up mostly being skull items, yuck), Speedy (everyone starts off really fast, but to make up for it there are a lot of sandals, aka speed-downs), and Voice Bomb (you speak to lay your bombs, which is a lot of fun actually)...The bots are obviously cheap, which isn't surprising, but it's still fun to find out ways to get around their "all-knowing" behavior...Can't wait to play with actual humans, though...
Is it worth the purchase? If you are a Bomberman fan, definitely! If you haven't played a Bomberman game before and are thinking about making this your first, do...It's great, and it's 8-player 1-cart multiplayer for crying out loud!

Plus the Reversi Battle in this is kind of frustrating. If you die, you become a revenge bomber with the lowest range possible. Its possible that you can still win, but when you have people with all flames and remote bombs running around at top speed, you're just screwed.
Still, this is quite fun, and some of the modes make some good multiplayer.
Oh, and for the voice recognition. Forget about saying 'Bomb' or whatever since you can just blow in the mic to set off the action. Though again, forget about playing the voice modes in the car since the rattling in the car is probably going to ALWAYS set off your bomb.
Oops.

IF you die playing with bots can you speed the battle up and not have to wait for the computer to finish the round?

QuoteIs it full single-cart multplayer, or is it limited, like Rouge Agent?
it's 8-player 1-cart multiplayer for crying out loud!
