Bomberman Act: Zero is the next game in the Bomberman video game series for the Xbox 360.The game features a complete redesign of the Bomberman character - instead of being a minute robot (i.e. Shirobon) the Bomberman in this game is a mechanical looking cyborg.
Criticism
Before its release, the game had been played by some gaming magazines, including Electronic Gaming Monthly, who "rewarded" the game with its Shame of the Month award, comparing Bomberman's new Halo-esque getup to Mario morphing into a cold-eyed Mafia hitman, and criticizing the game for its severe lack of play options (only two multiplayer modes). Criticism has been mounted because there is no offline multiplayer option; all multiplayer occurs through Xbox Live. [citation needed]
Many Bomberman fans also disliked Bomberman's new design in Act: Zero. Some believe that Act: Zero is an attempt by Hudson to make the franchise darker. Game Daily, on its video "Big No's of 2006", even commented that Bomberman "Looked like Master Chief on crack". Adam Sessler on X-Play made a similar comment saying, "...you look like Master Chief and Venom had a baby".
Other Bomberman fans believe that Act: Zero is just an entirely new spin off series which is not part of the same canon continuality similar to the Megaman franchise spawning dozens of spin offs; Others believe that Act: Zero is a remake based on the original Idea of the Blue Samus Aran-esque version of Bomberman on the original NES boxart. Other Bomberman fans believe that Act: Zero is possibly based on Bomber King (released as RoboWarrior in the US). [citation needed]
Despite the varying opinions on the game's new style, the gameplay of B:AZ was universally panned by critics, who felt the game suffered from a lack of depth and from a poorly implemented camera system.
