Of course the whole board knew this game was gonna blow, hell, even Pikabutcher foresaw this.
Hudson, what the hell were you thinking?
All of the bad reveiws made by the other players are quite hilarious, though. I rarely see a game with soo many "Abyssmal" ratings, only Superman 64 got a higher percentage than this. o_o
In fact, the only purpose Bomberman: Act Zero serves, and the only distinction it achieves, is to take the series to absolute rock bottom so there's nowhere left to go but up from here.
Well...I guess we have to be optimistic. We all knew that Bomberman was sliding downhill after the 64 games (or for some of us, the SNES or Saturn games, I think). Here's hoping Touch Bomberman can breathe a little more life into the corpse of the Bomberman series.

Act Zero attempts to justify the new look with a new story. It turns out that there's an underground prison where humans are kept as test subjects. You are one of those humans, and you have to become Bomberman so you can fight your way through 99 repetitive, joyless levels to escape.
That had a lot of potential to make Bomberman really badass. The story, that is, not the 99 levels. Wtf m8, 99 freakin' levels and no saves or continues. I think I'm going to give up hope that anyone's going to care about a good Bomberman single-player anymore and just continue writing my whacked-out fanfiction.

And just when you thought the game couldn’t get any lower, you'll see ridiculous and completely unnecessary bouncing breasts on the female character model. The fact that the developer took the time to program something as asinine as breast physics but couldn't be bothered to fix the game is indicative of the quality of the overall effort in Act Zero.
...oh dear sweet Mihaele. It's a joke, right? Right?
Deeper Bomberman plots/story modes will come some day.... most or all of them probably won't be from Hudson, though.
EDIT: I just read the review.... sounds like they didn't put much effort into it, like I thought they would. Not that I thought it would be good (in the Bomberman sense), but I thought they'd have put more effort into it.
Whoa, bomberman has reached a new low. I assumed it would've gotten a 5-6 but this is outrageous. Especially coming from Gamespot which gives 9.0+ to 30% of all the games they review.

^ Must not have seen Super Sentai Bomberman.
Although I must admit:

that really is unbelievable. I mean the NES/MSX first game had half the levels and yet featured passwords.
Personally, I was maybe the only optimist one about this game. I mean Megaman X is more mature Megaman and it worked so...
I won't say lack of polish like that of MMX would have surpised me but, man, no saving? What were they busy doing?

i have often thorght about emailing them, but then again, Hudson have no presence outside of Japan, so would they have any english speaking staff in thair japan offices
I'm sure if you sent them an email and they really wanted to read it, even if they didn't have english speaking staff they'd probably find a way to read it. I would think they'd have a translator or something though but who knows?
well they could ude babelfish but things like that are flawed, iv triyed to translate this block of text below in to the japernise but it wouldent even work so iv used German as an example, this is me traslateing it to and from german a few times, my point beaing that thsy proberbly wont understand to what were talking about, but also because these translation flaws are hilarios
i typed the intro on the spot, it dosent resempbe my writeing abilaty
