Bomberman
Land brings
an exciting
single
player
campaign
element to
the
Bomberman
property
while
holding true
to the
multiplayer
mode that
has made it
so popular
in the past.
The series
introduces a
multitude of
attractions,
many of
which can be
played in
multiplayer
mode. Both
the PSP
system and
Wii feature
50
attractions.
While the
Wii version
is full of
interactive
games that
use
intuitive
Wii Remote
controls,
all of the
PSP system's
attractions
can be
played and
shared in
multiplayer.
The Nintendo
DS version
features
more than 40
types of
attractions
that either
use the
stylus or
the
microphone
to play. In
addition,
the
Bomberman
Land series
contains a
robust
single-player
Story Mode,
where
adventurers
explore a
fantasy
land, take
on quests
and solve
puzzles to
restore the
peace and
tranquility
of the
beleaguered
Bomberman
world.
The biggest
feature on
each
platform is
the classic
multiplayer
Bomberman
experience
that gamers
know and
love. The
PSP system
and Nintendo
DS allow up
to four
players to
compete
globally.
While both
versions
offer shared
multiplay,
the Nintendo
DS title
allows eight
people to
play
locally. The
Wii version,
on the other
hand,
features six
"Battle
Modes":
Normal,
Points,
Stars,
Crown,
All-Out and
a Wii
exclusive
mode
designed
specifically
for the Wii
Remote. Each
"Battle
Mode"
includes 20
maps, making
it the game
to have for
the ultimate
party.
"As one of
the most
recognizable
video game
franchises
in the
industry,
the
Bomberman
series has
always been
known for
its fun and
addictive
gameplay,
and these
three new
installments
are no
exception,"
said John
Greiner
President
and CEO of
Hudson
Entertainment.
Packed with
fun
attractions,
a compelling
single-player
mode and a
competitive
multiplayer
experience,
these new
games will
keep players
coming back
for more."
