Bomberman Jetters

Bomberman Jetters has the same addictive multiplayer qualities that have sustained the series over the years.

For the uninitiated, Bomberman pits up to four players in an arena, where they try to dispose of each other with explosives. As the second Bomberman game for the GameCube, Jetters? one-player game is a decent time-waster that involves plenty of exploration and frequent puzzle-solving through pyrotechnics.

There?s a plot, too -- some nonsense about a Dark Star hurtling toward Planet Bomber. No, Bomberman has always been about multiplayer mayhem with four humans, and Jetters provides enough creatively constructed arenas and options to keep vets and newbies alike enthralled for hours (anyone who?s played Bomberman can attest to the game?s addictive qualities).

Although the graphics are simple, they get the job done, and the only drawback is you can?t revert to the classic overhead ?flat? view (there?s an isometric slant). The sound effects shine, too (when they aren?t interrupted by the juvenile announcer), and the whimsical music strikes a ?bombing? mood.

Jetters may not have the multiplayer diversity of a Mario Party, but for primitive addiction, it plays to form.
