Bomberman Act:Zero is a video game developed by Hudson Soft's and released on Xbox 360 in 2006. It is a spin-off of the Bomberman series. Compared to preceding entries in the series, the game significantly changes the overall tone and character design.
Plot[]
This game is somehow based on the original Bomberman game. The main character is a nameless Bomberman (or woman) who is created for the sole purpose of fighting. They are awakened and thrown into a battle where only the strongest will survive.
Gameplay[]
The player must use bombs to defeat their rival on each level. There are 99 levels and no save options or continues making the experience very difficult. The camera plays a unique role in this game in that it can be set to one of two options. It can be used either from the 2D perspective of previous Bomberman titles or a 3rd person mode where the camera follows behind the player.
There is also an online multiplayer mode that can support up to 8 players worldwide; however, there is no local mode.
Trivia[]
- Act Zero received a digital re-release through Microsoft's Games On Demand service.
- In November 2006, a mobile phone version, titled Bomberman Act:Zero MOBILE Type, was released for i-Mobile phones exclusively in Japan.
- The game runs on the same engine as Fuzion Frenzy 2, also developed by Hudson Soft for the Xbox 360.
- The third-person camera mode that follows the player is confusingly, and erroneously, referred to as "First Person Bommer" in the Japanese version.
