If your familiar with Bomberman Land Touch for Nintendo DS, you'll quickly find yourself in recognizable territory on the Wii version of Bomberman Land. This is because the game features the same adventure-style presentation where players wander all over the land to successfully complete mini-games and solve puzzles that'll advance them further in the storyline. The game uses the Wii Remote by pointing at the screen and holding the B trigger will make your Bomberman character move around the environment, and tapping the A button will have your character interact with other inhabitants.

Bomberman Land is all about the mini-games, and there are several of them to compete in. Examples of minigames are using the Wii Remote by pointing in a lightgun shooter where you have to blast flying molten rocks flying out of a volcano. In the final version of the game, there's supposed to be over 50 unlockable minigames included.

Of course, Bomberman is really about the multiplayer, and yes, the game features the addictive arena battle that everyone knows and loves about Bomberman. Four players can compete in a variety of different environments, planting bombs and trying to take out the other guys with their four way blasts. Just like the game's single player experience, Bomberman Land's multiplayer is controlled with the Wii Remote, held in the unit's NES D-pad configuration. It's very unfortunate that this game won't support online for worldwide competition.

Closing Comments:

Bomberman Land is currently slated to launch in January of 2008 but don't be impressed by the game. The game doesn't feature online multi-player which is very unforunate seeing how Bomberman is all about the multi-player. If your looking for a great online experience, your probably better off picking up Bomberman Land Touch or Bomberman Land Touch 2 for Nintendo DS.

My Anticipation Rating: 6.5/10
