Bomberman 2 (Nintendo DS)
Bomberman is back - and across two screens. Fans of the previous game won"t need more than that as recommendation to buy this DS rethink. But those coming new to the tiny pyromaniac may assume that cartoony graphics equals childish challenge.It"s certainly childish - your mission is to blow stuff up and, er, that"s it - but it"s also: a) fun; b) frequently bloody difficult; and c) got that "oh, just one more go" level of addiction down pat. Mission Mode - work through many levels to destroy a computer virus that"s brought your home town to its knees - features head-scratching puzzles and punishing "against the clock" rounds.Battle Mode - you v up to seven other players, either real (via Wi-Fi) or DS-generated- is a frantic, eye-popping joy with lots of new features (including warp gates, open arenas and spikes) to add to an already well-crafted challenge.
