Ok this series was good, until the 360 version came out.
The enhanced graphics were okay, but the gameplay...what where they thinking!
They should of sticked with the original look, made it more 3Dish and added some new levels and music, and implemented some fun multiplayer modes. But instead they tried to change the game, and ended up with a game that gives Bomberman a bad name.

I know the enhanced graphics are tempting you to think it's better, but don't fall for it.
GameSpot's user score of the 360 version is 2.8
And their score of the NES version is 8.0
Hmm.. the old sweet game. I remember playing it during my childhood :D. That screen shot brought many memories with it.
Honestly, I dont like game spot rating. I love to read the review my self. Loads of games in Game Spot was rated high and I didn't like it and other games rated low and I liked it. It depends mostly in your taste.
So, I'd rather to read its view, but a rating of 2? That's horrible.

Yeah, that 360 one looked absolutely terrible. I looked at it and i thought it was a typo on the box. Bomberman? That's Bomberman? No, no it can't be...

I've personally never played it. Then again, most remakes of older games don't bode too well, so I was weary before I even saw the ratings. Kinda like the new Turok, older ones were OK, then this new crap comes along, basically turns the game into "Unreal Tournament III-Dinosaur Edition".
I can imagine the same for Bomberman, although for what it's worth, I never really enjoyed the originals either.
