A greatly expanded Bomberman game
Super Bomberman R 2 follows the same basic premise as any other game before it. You play as a Bomberman and place explosives. Not only does your bomb destroy bricks and breakable blocks, but it also eliminates enemies. However, it can also take out the player when hit. Each level has a themed design as well as a unique gimmick—warps, conveyor belts, and pitfalls, among others.
The game has a single-player Story Mode that boasts over 50 levels. Aside from this, the game also includes beloved game modes such as Standard, Grand Prix, and the massively online Battle 64. More importantly, this game introduces a team battle with the Castle mode, pitting the Attackers and Castle defenders against each other. This game also has a Stage Editor feature, letting you create custom Castle designs.
Fans will find this game inadequate as a sequel. Players basically think that it’s a repackaged version of the previous titles, with the Castle being the original addition. Also, the online modes are fun in theory, but its very small player base means you’ll be playing against bots. In worse cases, you’ll have to wait for extended matchmaking periods. These issues make certain parts of the game hard to enjoy.
A fun game with struggling multiplayer
Overall, Super Bomberman R 2 offers more content than any game before it, making it a worthy celebration of the arcade title’s 40th anniversary. New game modes, improved visuals, and an extended single-player story mode make this a certified hit, whether you’re a new or returning franchise fan. Unfortunately, it suffers from a couple of issues, mostly revolving around its still-small player base.
