PlayStation 2 Critic Reviews

For anybody with even a minor bit of gaming background, this is a highly addictive, incredibly brilliant puzzler that has enough depth, ingenuity and depth to keep you going for months.

It’s very challenging, and the completion is rewarding.

Bombastic blows away all other Playstation 2 puzzlers.

If twisting your mind into knots sounds like fun, you'll love Bombastic. [Oct 2003, p.40]

It's a great puzzler. Definitely a little weird, but most certainly good. [Sept 2003, p.109]

Destined to become a cult favorite, which will most likely sell for a billion dollars on eBay one day, Bombastic is a puzzle gamers dream come true.

It's surprisingly addictive and really does make math fun. No, really! [Oct 2003, p.77]

What initially seemed overly mathematical and number-crunchingly complex has now taken over my psyche. When I close my eyes I see pulsating dice in fabulous combinations. [Sept 2003, p.113]

If you're pining for something with charm, accessibility, instant playability, hidden depths, and above all else fun, then for twenty quid you can't go far wrong with Bombastic. Sure, it's the kind of game that could've been made ten years ago, and is as basic as games get these days, but that's exactly what appealed to us.

Once you begin figuring out the combo system and how to manipulate the dice, Bombastic becomes oddly addictive. [Sept 2003, p.54]
