In fact, the only purpose Bomberman: Act Zero serves, and the only distinction it achieves, is to take the series to absolute rock bottom so there's nowhere left to go but up from here. |
Well...I guess we have to be optimistic. We all knew that Bomberman was sliding downhill after the 64 games (or for some of us, the SNES or Saturn games, I think). Here's hoping Touch Bomberman can breathe a little more life into the corpse of the Bomberman series.
Act Zero attempts to justify the new look with a new story. It turns out that there's an underground prison where humans are kept as test subjects. You are one of those humans, and you have to become Bomberman so you can fight your way through 99 repetitive, joyless levels to escape. |
That had a lot of potential to make Bomberman really badass. The story, that is, not the 99 levels. Wtf m8, 99 freakin' levels and no saves or continues. I think I'm going to give up hope that anyone's going to care about a good Bomberman single-player anymore and just continue writing my whacked-out fanfiction.
And just when you thought the game couldn’t get any lower, you'll see ridiculous and completely unnecessary bouncing breasts on the female character model. The fact that the developer took the time to program something as asinine as breast physics but couldn't be bothered to fix the game is indicative of the quality of the overall effort in Act Zero. |
...oh dear sweet Mihaele. It's a joke, right? Right? |
