As for the one-player mode, Hudson seems to have spent a lot of effort on making it an actual game. This is a change from the one-player modes of earlier Bomberman titles, which were basically practice for the multi-player mode. In truth, it�s an OK game, but it�s certainly not anything I�d pay $50 for. The game�s puzzle-solving by explosion is fun for a while, but I lost interest quickly. The major reason for this was the poor control. If you want to pick up a bomb, you must stand next to it and press B before it explodes. If, however, you even slightly touch the Control Stick while doing so, you�ll kick the bomb away. This made the gameplay very tedious, as I kept laying bombs only to inadvertently kick them away, or worse, become their unwitting victim.
