Bomberman is Back and Better Than Ever – Play “Bomberman Live” for Xbox LIVE Arcade

The award winning franchise, “Bomberman,” is going Live! Hudson Entertainment’s “Bomberman Live” comes to Xbox LIVE Arcade for Xbox 360 this Wednesday, July 18 at 9:00 a.m. GMT

Created specifically for Xbox LIVE Arcade, the all-new “Bomberman Live” delivers unparalleled social gaming excitement with high definition graphics, four-person local multiplayer and eight-person online multiplayer over Xbox LIVE. And to show there is no Bomberman out there quite like yours, players now have over 10,000 unique ways to fully customize their Bomberman.

In “Bomberman Live,” players guide their unique Bomberman around a grid-like arena, avoiding opponents and their bombs while attempting to bomb the competition. “Bomberman Live” features eight multiplayer arenas including Lost World, where players can sink in puddles of quicksand, and Ghost Town, where players can fall into trap doors. By destroying blocks, players can reveal 16 different power-ups (and power-downs!) from the simple “Speed Up” to the devastating “Dangerous Bomb.”

“Bomberman Live” will be available worldwide for 800 Microsoft Points and is rated E for Everyone.

I definitely am ... The trailer looked brilliant. Like the classic game (let's all forget Bomberman X, shall we). Larger arenas and up to 8 Player on Live. Has to be worth the 800 MS points.
:cool:

I've an old modded Xbox and 4 player Bomberman on the SNES is one of our most frequently played games. I'll definitely be getting this.

Seems like a backwards step. Bomberman on the Saturn was 10 player and online.

Still If I didn't already have bomberman on the Wii I'd be picking it up. Bomberman is by far the most played game at the Wii parties and the gameplay hasn't aged one bit, still as good as ever.

mr.noobie

Got this last night,some craic. Was only playing local games,going to prastice a bit before I go on live! Im not half as good as I used to be at the game

Fingleberries

Definitely worth the 800 points. Great craic to be had alright.
- The Paint / Zombie modes are hilarious. In the Zombie mode it can all turn in the last second.

This is definintely a worthwhile purchase even if you have Bomberman for the Wii VC.
Look forward to playing a few games online once I get my skills up to par:)

I've been playing this on Live. Is it possible to get a guest to play with you on Live though. Whenever I sign in, choose Xbox Live there's an option to add more local players. I add the guest one that appears as the second person. Then when we hit A to start it pops up the error saying that the user couldn't sign in. It can't be that every user needs a seperate Live account can it?

I found out what my issue was. I was playing with one of the 48 hour trial cards. Apparently that doesn't allow guests.

Now I've got to get Live and an extra couple of controllers. This Bomberman is turning out pricey. Worth it though.

Does anyone else have an abnormaly high rate of game failures? Most times i connect to any of the games it either says connection timed out or unable to join?
Does this happen to anyone else?
