Super Bomberman 2

Focus on the story mode


Genre: arcade - n/a

Publisher: Hudson Soft

Year: 1994

System: SNES


Gameplay Score: 4

Gameplay Notes:

Same general idea as the first game - a story mode and a battle mode. Story mode is different as there is no invincibility at the start so no oppt to cheese the levels. I thought this was one of the best things about the original. Battle mode is still the highlight. Slower movement compared to original. Bad slowdown with lots of enemies and effects going on. The throw mechanic is a great addition although it kind of breaks the game and reduces its difficulty.


Level Design Score: 3

Level Design Notes:

Story mode maps are multi screen which I guess is good, although I didn't like them as much.


Theme Score: 4

Theme Notes:

They added a more robust storyline for some reason. Not sure who was asking for that.


Art Style Score: 4

Art Style Notes:

Has a bit of detail added although it's minor. Stuff like colored bombs and flames to match the bomber.


Audio Score: 3

Audio Notes:

The music seems a bit muffled. Interesting compositions but not quite as upbeat as the original.


Overall Score: 73

Review ID: 557
