If you want bomberman, this aint it.

Horid gameplay, horrid look, and just a horrid story line. Not a good direction they went in. Although it is kind of cool to watch, it isnt what you want.

They Killed Bomberman.

"Bomberman: Act Zero" is a true rarity among games. It does absolutely nothing to appeal to non-fans of its respective franchise. As well as completely drive fans of old away. Combine those facts, with absolutely broken game play, and a presentation that does absolutely nothing to show off the power of the Xbox 360. And you have the first game that signify's the low point of Microsoft's next-generation console.
Its already apparent that from the first look of "Bomberman: Act Zero", it was DOA from the beginning. Developer "Hudson Entertainment" has completely destroyed the amazingly lovable anime/cartoon look of the old games. And went in favor of a completely lifeless cyberpunk 1990's look, that would have looked as embarrassing five years ago, as it does today. Don't expect any of the memorable characters from past games in the series. Because they have been erased in favor for a ridiculous futuristic feel that does nothing to remind fans that this is a "Bomberman" game. No, "Act Zero" tells the story of a futuristic gladiator type arena, where robots ( the bomber man characters that you play as ) battle it out for supreme victory. Yep, thats no pep added to the article. As you win a round in the arena. The character you play as literally raises his hands in victory ( and looks dumb doing so ).
While the game already fails from an artistic stand-point, it doesn't make up for it from a technical point of view. "Bommberman: Act Zero" shows the low point of the Xbox 360. With muggy textures all around, and completely lifeless and uninteresting level designs "Act Zero" looks rather heavy on the eyes. Even on the original Xbox "Bomberman: Act Zero" would only make the bar medium.
And don't expect the audio side of the game to be any different. As each level is opened and closed with a unenthusiastic announcer. And the action itself is brought down by uneven and broken sound effects. Even the main menu's sound rather bad as you are forced to listen to uninteresting dark melodramatic background music. That exists only to further the games fake edgy feel.
So, while "Act Zero" already bites the bullet as far as presentation goes. It game play, is not much different in any form. While the game tries to stick to the original "Bomberman" party game formula, it most definitely doesn't succeed. The game is a fully one button game. You use the two analog sticks to move the character around and rotate the camera, and use the "A" button to drop a bomb. Thats it. You go from level to level in the game 99 stages to claim ultimate victory. Or at least that what the people from "Hudson Entertainment" want you to think. Because the fact of the matter is that each level of "Act Zero" is completely the same. You drop with a certain amount of enemies, you take them out and progress. There's absolutely nothing more to the game beyond that.
However, the "Bomberman" series single player aspect has never been the hall-mark of the franchise. No, what has made "Bomberma

Worst 360 game ever made

pointless. Grabbing your Hoola-Hoop from your parents basement will be more fun
