It's become obvious that Hudson has run out of ideas for new bomb types, but it's how the different bombs must be used that make the game so challenging and rewarding.Īt the game's outset, you'll be able to drop your bombs around the levels, get clear, then return to pick up your bounty once they have exploded.

Bomberman can throw bombs, kick them, detonate them remotely, stack them to create bridges across previously impassable gaps, and use them as a shield. To do so, you'll have to make use of the game's many different bombing abilities. But in order to blast your way through some areas, you'll have to find unique ways to get your bombs to their mark. As is customary with games bearing the name, the object of Bomberman Generation's single-player mode is to blow up everything in your path on the way to each level's exit. It may look like a 3D platformer or action game, but Bomberman Generation is really a puzzle game at heart, true to the series' origins. But the most recent entries in the annals of Bomberman history have been less than satisfying, so it comes as quite a surprise to find that Bomberman Generation is such an engaging and addictive game.īomberman Generation is primarily a puzzle game. And while Hudson's white-suited explosives expert may not get the respect of some other, more high-profile characters, his image is indelible and his games have brought smiles to many faces. For all the Marios, Sonics, and Crash Bandicoots of the video game universe, there are just as many second-tier mascot characters like Hudson's nondescript bomb-dropping concoction, Bomberman.
