Bomberman Live

Because you demanded it! Bomberman has gone LIVE! The all-new “Bomberman Live” was created specifically for Xbox LIVE® Arcade, taking all the best parts of past Bomberman games to make a game you'll love!

In Bomberman Live, the frantic, explosive action is taken to the next level with gorgeous high definition graphics, 4-person local multiplayer and 8-person online multiplayer. Now you can play online and prove that you really are the best in the world! You can even customize your very own Bomberman, with over 10,000 unique possibilities! Delivering an insane party game atmosphere, Bomberman Live gives everyone who picks up the controller the chance to bomb their way to victory.

In Bomberman Live, you can customize a ton of stuff, starting with the game modes!

Normal – The classic, last man standing Bomberman mode.

Paint Bomb – The goal here is to paint as many tiles as you can using the explosions from your bombs. Your bombs still kill other players, and when you get a frag, that player's tiles are erased! Stay alive and keep painting!

Zombie – Like Paint Bomb mode, but you can’t die! Your little guy keeps getting back up, over and over, until time expires. However, there’s still a penalty: you lose all of your power-ups and painted tiles when you get hit by a bomb! Zombie matches might very well come down to a last-second bomb!

Tournament – Choose the number of maps, the actual map rotation, power-ups, and see who’s the winner when all is said and done!

You can also customize nearly every aspect of the gameplay: set the number of wins required, time limit, number of players, which maps to play, and even special options like:

Revenge: Death isn’t the end! After you get bombed, you hop in a kart on the side of the arena and get to toss bombs at the living as you move around the edge.

Super Revenge: Just like Revenge, but if you successfully bomb someone, you jump back into play! If you're lucky enough to be one of the last few left standing, look out, because everybody will be gunning for you!

Sudden Death: Falling blocks that squish your character kick in when time runs out, starting at the outside of the arena, then working their way in towards the center, resulting in less and less space to run around!

Prove that you’re the best in the world: Play at home with up to four players or hop online and challenge the best Bombermen from around the world, with up to 8 players! Set up tournaments, rack up leaderboard points, and prove that you are the best!

Set up your own tournaments: See who’s still standing once the dust has settled! In unranked tournaments, customize settings like wins required, time limit, number of players, maps to play (up to 10), power-ups allowed, and private invite-only matches. In ranked tournaments, the options are preset so everyone’s on a level playing field when it comes to being ranked.

Twenty Leaderboards: We've got twenty, count 'em twenty, leaderboards to track your performance in every mode and map, such as wins, losses, kills, and blocks painted! Will you be the world champion in one of the leaderboards?

Gloat over your defeated opponents with Xbox LIVE® Vision: When you win and the victory screen comes up, a snapshot is taken of the losers (using their cameras), while you get an entire live video feed all to yourself to gloat!!
