First online Bomberman game, and the single-player game doesn't stink!

Bomberman Land Touch is an amazingly fun game. The single-player, for a change, is very enjoyable (I've purchased the game after renting), and the single/multi-cart download play and wifi is such fun!

I have about 20 hours in the single player "story mode" game, and it really is a lot of fun! Almost a zelda-esque adventure where you go around "Pirate Island" and beat mini-games to unlock in download play. (However, these mini-games cannot be played online, unfortunately! They can be played via single/multi-cart download, though.)
I know most people would say don't get Bomberman Land Touch if you have the original for the ds, but unless ALL you do is play it online or with friends, you should try this one..

There are quite a few mini games that are loads of fun to play with others.

Oh, and yes, the wifi does lag a bit. Moreso if you play worldwide with someone across the planet, less so with someone in your region.
(However, I do know it's not as bad as the horrible lag in a game like LostMagic; which was so aweful I am forced to play it offline for the time being!) And yes, you can do random matchups with people in your region or across the world if you hate friend codes.

As I said, I think this one is worth the money. I'd also say to keep your old one. Yes, you'll have two copies of the same(battle)game, but certain fun items in the original Bomberman DS and most of the items such as bomb kick, disease, confusion, "voice activate" or "remote bombs" ) are NOT in this game. Which, for me, is a bit of a sad travesty, and why I will keep both games.) Bomberman is one of those that I don't get to play very often, but is such fun to play with people I keep it around when I have parties and such.

The game is rare though, and like most Atlus titles, may be hard to find. However, you should consider getting it but not only for the online play, but for the excellent single player. (Well, the game is fun, even if the story is trite!)

I find myself online most nights, playing against people, and while there isn't a whole lot of people online(you can have up to four real players and four-seven 'bots; I rarely get more then one or two real people, and usually they are Japanese who manage to kick my butt!)when you can manage to get a game going, it's sheer madness!

Not for Online play

This game is a pretty fun little game- its just a series of Minigames strung together with little-to-no plot. If you enjoy that kind of thing- go for it.

However- I, like most people, purchased this for the chance to play classic Bomberman online. This is where the game becomes disappointing. The online network runs INCREDIBLY poorly, making the game intolerable online. So if thats all you are interested in - STAY AWAY.

Hopefully the get this fixed for future releases.

Good

The game is very good, but the problems with the server wifi is very heavy.

This Game Rocks for the Younger Kids!

I have a just turned 5 yr old and a 7 yr old. I knew if the game was good, I'd better try it out first, and I enjoyed it too! Great minigames and enough "visuals" that my youngest (who doesn't read yet) can still play the adventures. However, the best part of this game is the Bomberman classic which is up to 8 DS's in single download play!!!! EIGHT!!! The most we've had is 4, but it has been soooo much fun! There are many different boards and level settings. I understand that this one is going out of print, but there is Bomberman Land Touch 2 coming out in Feb 08 if the Amazon associate sellers are out. We'll be getting that one too!

It's all about the Classic Bomberman

Classic Bomberman fans will love the Classic mode, and the multiplayer options are awesome! However, I did find the "Touch" adventure game to be kind of, well, lame. It held my attention for only a few minutes, and then it was back to classic bomberman. Totally worth it for the classic part alone, in my opinion.

I Love It - Adult speaking

I got this game for my Grandson and started trying it just for fun and could not put it down. I bought my own DS when I became addictive to 7 Wonders of the Ancient World. Bomberman Land Touch is a impressively fun collection of mini-games strung together with a basic (but strangely satisfying) adventure game. It kept me challenged for weeks. I will be buying Bomberman Land Touch2 right away. I hear it has the same basic adventure with challenging mini-games.

Lots of fun and addicting minigames that are doable in normal mode. Hard mode is a little ridiculous. There were a couple of minigames I just couldn't beat, but what are friends for if not to beat parts of games you can't do yourself?

Along with competitive minigame multiplayer, there is the classic bomberman multiplayer. I'm a big fan of co-op multiplayer, so this game was worth buying just for the classic battle mode. The classic battle mode allows you and your LAN friends to team up (or compete, your choice) and bomb the heck out of the AI. The AI is pretty good, so it's a challenge, even on normal difficulty. The best part is you only need one card for you and your friends to play!
