Panic Bomber

By Hudsonsoft

Graphics: 8.5

The intro in this game is breathtaking. It shows you how much power this this little pair of goggles has. The scrolling backgrounds add little to the gameplay, but are fun to look at. The facial expressions of the enemies are very good. It's a puzzle game. I don't expect good graphics.

Sound: 8.5

The sound of Panic Bomber is really good. All of the different places you go have different music. All of the different bosses have different music from each other, too. The explosions are done well, and the boss music sound very evil(did you think it would sound nice?).

Control: 10

Mostly all puzzle games have good control, and this is no exception. The Virtual Boy's controller makes it even better.

Funfactor: 8.5

This game is very fun, and a cool password backup that is easy to remember makes it so you don't have to start from the beginning every time you turn it off. The bombs make it even more fun to play. [You see, every time you make some blocks disappear, unlit bombs appear. Every once in a while, a lit bomb comes down. If it touches an unlit bomb, it will explode, setting off a chain reaction of exploding bombs.] You could even say.............it's a blast!

3D Effects: 5.0

Every so often, Bomberman seems to pop out of the screen. Same with the win/loss screen. The scrolling backgrounds have a great 3D effect, but may hurt people's eyes. There is an option to turn the scrolling backgrounds off.

Story

The dark island of Ever-Mist is permanently enshrouded in a deep, dreary fog. Many adventures have traveled there in quest for the Legendary Statue of Bomberman, but none have returned.........

The legend states, "He or she who gathers together the three celestial medals of power, which lie on the island of Ever-Mist, shall open the gates and gain access to the statue."

Learning this, Bomberman sets off on another great adventure!
