Super Bomberman 2

Welcome to the world of Bomberman. This game is a unique blend of puzzle solving & multi-player action. Your objective is to clear the screen of all the enemies using explosive bombs. The catch is that they explode in a cross shape & depending upon the strength, the explosion shoots out so far. So you have to keep in mind where you're placing the bombs & make sure to keep your distance. Nothing is worse than getting to that last guy & accidently blowing yourself up. The other facet involves the backgrounds. Which are cluttered with blocks that form pathways. Certain blocks contain power-ups & such. So when you blow a wall you might wanna make sure it doesn't give your opponents anything special or provide an easy way to get to you. The simple premise & controls makes for a great game that anybody can get into easily. The game is split up into several portions. The Single Player mode where you advance through several stages fighting off bosses & going through somewhat of a story. Then there's the MultiPlayer deathmatch mode which allows upto 4 different players. Of course the goal is to be the last one standing out of the rest of your comrades. This event alone can keep you entertained for hours on end. It's an awesome party game. You just don't see games like this these days. Not ones with such a fresh formula & can keep you captivated like this title does. And it's a hard one to find too. Pick up Super Bomberman 2 if you ever see it.
