Bomberman 2 DS

Bomberman 2 marks the welcome return of Hudson Soft�s evergreen bomb-toting hero and will sees the popular franchise undergoing a visual make-over and a wealth of new elements to the gameplay. While the familiar basis of laying bombs to eradicate patrolling foes remains intact, Hudson Soft has expanded it across a more open format, creating a deeper title that maintains the addictive nature the series is famed for. A more open play area contributes greatly to the action, and the player is now charged with completing set missions within the ever-decreasing time limit. These include simple tasks such as destroying a set number of blocks within a short time frame, through to escaping from a level or blowing up specific energy cores. Multiple bombs and a wealth of power-ups can also be collected, while the series� huge bosses make a welcome return � testing the player�s accuracy and use of timed detonations. Bomberman 2 can also be customised, with players able to change the main hero�s appearance and capabilities as new items become available, with over 160,000 possible additions on offer. Likewise, the series� famed multi-player aspect has been enhanced, with the new game enjoying a four-player Versus mode via either the Wi-Fi connection, while up to eight can compete via the Wireless service.
