have got this and it is simply amazing. Takes me back to the days of playing this on the snes. If anyone fancies a game add me to their friends list and we can have a good old session at some point. XBL: Je11y Master

Just wondering does anyone know how you unlock the extras for the bomberman costumes. Is it just simply a case of playing through the various levels and then this unlocks them or are there particular things you have to do.

You pick up the crystals as you go through the SP levels. I will add the names to my FL for some games

I'm not that good

What a brilliant xbox live arcade game. Best one yet Imho. I've always loved bomberman, really shines through on MP, although my nephew has killed my stats with his losses

No idea, it plays like the DS lite version I have. Very enjoyable as XBLA games go. Far better than the worms attempt.

Cant work out yet how to pick up and throw bombs

Once you have the power glove press a, don't move but press a again, then a to throw it.

Im loving this game, not played much on live yet, ive been trying to get the ¨painter¨ achievement and failing miserably... Also i want the ¨3 for 1¨ acheivement but the 2 times ive managed it, it seemed to credit one of the CPUs with a kill, which is kinda annoying.

3 for 1 is easy. Play the level where you get all the upgrades in the middle, cant remember the name. Play 8 player, fixed starting position on the outside. Get inside grab all the upgrades. Drop a line of bombs and kill about 5 at once

Really really good fun on live. Was playing a lagging yank though and it was frustrating to see him jumping about the map. A couple of times it looked like he had pinned himself in and he would pop up somewhere else on the map.

I have added a few people from here now, I will give you a few games later.

These games get very little love on here anymore due to all the duds, but for MP this is a must buy.

Then you need to get it. You can be my online wins

I suck at it too, especially zombie. Yet on the DS lite I can quite easily beat 7 hard AI's. This version just seems faster.

Online is better with varying degrees of idiot

The AI are stupid on the DS

I hoped Live would offer a better challenge but in every game there are usually 2 laggy players who appear to walk through bombs.

I suppose it depends where they are but I've only had one player lag on me. After my dinner if you or others are on I will play, if not I will plod on with the darkness.

Planning on getting this when I get home. Got the trial and though it was pretty decent. I'll be up for some multiplayer madness at somepoint.
