We never thought the day would come where we'd so dislike a Bomberman game, but by being needlessly lacking in the most crucial areas, Act Zero is impossible to love. [Sept 2006, p.78]

Sorry, B-Man, you went from hero to a big zero. [Sept. 2006, p.97]
The lack of stage types and offline multiplayer hinder the game's longevity a bit, but overall, Act: Zero plays well, the new FPB mode is fun, and the Standard mode still offers classic Bomberman fun. [JPN Import]

This game really makes you feel like Bomberman in the Act Zero. Who decided this master peace deserved a humiliating score such as 34. I disagree because this game saved my grandma kinda. 10/10 it has a litter sonthing for everyone.

Contenido extremadamente deficiente, no hay multijugador local, jugar solo es tan aburrido, esto es como una demo, pero NO LO ES, ¿es el peor Bomberman? Quizás.

Could do with a few more options, but otherwise quite good. [Nov 2006, p.84]

A proper next-gen update to the classic franchise is something I'd love to see, but with its myriad of flaws and questionable change in style, this game simply doesn't cut the mustard.

A cold, heartless, and completely uninventive action-puzzle nightmare that we could barely recommend if it were available for free on Xbox Live Arcade.

This game has no variety and is just boring to play.

Bomberman: Act Zero is Hudson Soft’s attempt to try something new and having it blow up in its face as if the company just laid down a bomb and became trapped in between boxes.

For this pile of crap with a multitude of problems, no variety and fewer options than virtually every Bomberman game released since the 16-bit era, do you know what the asking price is? Oh, no, this isn’t some bargain bin title – they’re charging a full $50 for this sick, anorexic puppy. Do I even need to go on?

Bomberman Act Zero, when played online, is by far the most fun online bomberman game in recent memory. Having said that, online mode is the only enjoyable mode. With a campaign which forces you to repeat the exact same loading screen on the same map up to 100 times and a missing local multiplayer, this unfortunately is also the most lackluster Bomberman game of all time also. Bomberman Act Zero attempted to take a more mature look by changing the character design to this cyborg looking bombermen, and changing the look of the maps to a much darker theme as well as the bomb design to a futuristic looking orb. None of it feels like bomberman. However the main reason I cannot score the game high is due to a missing local multiplayer, a staple of all bomberman games. This is the worst move I've seen by a developer, and there was no reason at all to remove the most important element of any bomberman game. Now to the online, the game features an online ranking system adding depth and skill to the online play. Bomberman also has new and improved powerups such as bomb through and block through as well as an infinite bomb powerup, used perfectly with line bomb. The FPB mode allows you to get a close up view of bomberman, also adding a health bar to the character, however the classic bomberman view is still the best. Overall Bomberman was a great online game around the time of release but as of now there are no redeeming qualities that warrant a purchase **** that removed the most important element - the local play.

bomberman act zero did forgot multiplayer offline and checkpoints, yet it features 99 levels, bomberman act zero for 360 is a mess, while sonic 06 for ps3 and 360 is awesome so is gundam crosfire, no matter what. my suggestion is to stay far away from bomberman act zero, if you want bomberman. this game should be cancelled.

This game is a complete waste of time. Someone needs to tell these developers that if it's not broke then don't fix it. They should have taken more insight from the original game instead of changing it. Shame

What in the world? I have been tricked because I didn't pay for this. The gameplay is terrible and I was surprised there wasn't any multiplayer. 2 out of 10
