puzzle games

I'm a bit surprised by the mixed reviews I've read in gaming magazines. BOMBASTIC is a very addictive puzzle game. It's loads of fun, has a nice varied pace between slow and hectic, and has a lot of replay value.

In roughly similar gameplay to TETRIS and MR. DRILLER, you need to line up dice in BOMBASTIC in order to keep the board clear (in Trial mode). This is done partly through skill and planning and partly through chance and luck. There are fun, literally explosive combinations that take place which can help to both clear the board and jeopardize your game. I love attempting to line up as many number 6's as possible...the resulting explosion is near atomic!

On top of that, the character and game design is really charming. I love the environments and the bosses, and the toon graphics are very appealing. The animation could use some work, but I'm a purist.

I took SOUL CALIBUR 2 out of my PS2 to play BOMBASTIC and I haven't looked back.

There are other games modes as well, including a Quest mode which has enemies and bosses you need to contend with as you clear a more linear, obstacle-course style board, a multiplayer Wars mode which I haven't played yet, and a Classic mode, which might be the game DEVIL DICE. I don't know, because I never played DEVIL DICE.

Though Quest mode is more charming and has great characters, I'm glued to Trial mode, still looking to clear 100 levels.

i own the japanese version and all i can say is that capcom hasn`t made a game this good since the first devil may cry. this game has amazing graphics great gameplay and gets realy hard when you get furter into the game. i recommend this game for everybody and if your not sure about this review well its only 29.99 at your local ebx or ebgames.
