This game is pretty decent (considering the clones I've reviewed before were just plain crappy).

Graphics:
The GPX are based on The Super Bomberman series in USA (1 and 2).So You can expect some funky looking Bman.

Sounds:
The sound FX sounds kinda strange and lame[bomb blasts sound like a dozen popping balloons or something]

Music:
The Music is pretty good.Some of them have been ripped from other titles.There's one that's been ripped from SB5 that i really like .[it's level 5]
Not to mention being able to load Midis and Mods from your PC to play.

Pros:
- 17 generic powerups
- Up to 4 local Players in skirmish game (2 on keyboard, 1 on mouse, and 1 on joystick)
- Tons of game options
- Team Play Modes
- 6 Game modes (Last One standing, Frag Fest, Capture the Flag, Kill the King, Kill the
Carrier, Easter Egg Hunt)
- Easy to use Map Editor/Tile set Editor & Customizable Player Skins
- Computer Opponents

Cons:
- Dumb computer players. Trust me you'll see...
- Can't minimize game without crashing.
- Sometimes unable to drop bombs or even move.
- The backgrounds are disgustingly terrible.
- Bomb blasts aren't connected (gap in explosions) .
- Music tends to be too loud.
- Loads far too slowly.

Overall:
Better than the other titles I've reviewed I guess. . .
Grade: 75/100
