There are 10,000 outfit combinations in this 2007 Bomberman, so when you prowl Xbox Live you can be your darkest angel of death or brightest anime dream. A full eight genuine humans can nuke each other by utilizing their internets, while four analog-minded persons may choose to squat in front of the glowing screen with the option of inserting four more expertly-controlled computer men.
Whichever your fashion, the explosion-slaughter is thoroughly hectic.
