"Great Platformer but disappointing battle game"

Bomberman 64 is a great Platformer but it has a not so good battle game. Here's why

GAMEPLAY
The game plays fairly well for a platformer the single player mode is great fun. The object in the one player game is simple destroy anyone in your way and try to complete the objectives fairly simple but the objectives is the hard part. Enough about the single player game. The multiplayer mode makes this game slip it bores you fairly quick. But the levels you can play against each other are great. The object is just blow up anyone in you way so it is simple.

MUSIC
The Music is fairly avarage for a N64 game but It's not the best or the worst. The tunes are okay but they need more beat. The explosion from the bombs are nothing special. So the Music in this game is nothing great.

GRAPHICS
The Graphics are quite good in this game except for some blocky bits. The waves in the water levels are well done and the lava is great and the background are alright. The explosions and gun shots are good to. So in the graphics are fairly good.

CHALLANGE
This game is quite hard but not that hard the bosses are quite hard to deafeat. But sometimes the objectives get to easy. But when you get to the boss stage it does become a problem. The game is probly on a scale 1 to 10 one being the lowest degree of difficulty I will say around 6. So it is somewhat of a challange.

RENT OR BUY
This game runs right over the other Bomberman game on the 64 Bomberman hero. But It's not one of the best Platform games on the N64. It's one of those games that isn't special but it is cheap. I got it for $30 Australian and not second hand. If you want a good platformer get Rayman 2 or Donkey Kong 64 or Super Mario 64 which is fairly cheap now or even get Banjo Kazooie. I suggest you rent this first because It may not be what you like then If you like it get it like I did.
