Bomberman shows how the classic strategy-action game is twice as intense on two screens.

The demolition man has arrived and LAN gamers have found a new addiction. With only one Game Card, up to eight players can battle either individually or as teams to show their battlefield bomber dominance. If you're all by your lonesome, however, Bomberman puts your skills to the test with 100 stages of do-or-die detonation.

In the single-player mode, your goal is to use your arsenal of explosives to blow up bricks to find a door to the next stage. After destroying all the enemies on the map, you go through the door to get to the next stage. Some of the bricks you blow up contain power-ups that increase your bomb radius, bomb power, speed and more. Activate these power-ups with the touch screen. Most stay with him until he loses a life.

Bomberman isn't for the faint of heart. Especially when getting into boss battles, the fast, intense gameplay will have you running for cover to avoid the blasts and your enemies.

The multiplayer battles offer endless gameplay possibilities. Once up to eight players have downloaded the multiplayer mode from just one Bomberman Game Card, you're faced with so many opportunities that you could spend all day just trying each one out. Multiplayer Bomberman features 29 stages, each with a unique set of rules. Some stages allow you to detonate your bombs by voice command and others feature tunnels that connect the gameplay on the top and bottom screens.

Within each stage, you can adjust the game rules. Select the number of battles you need to win, the length of the match and starting positions. For an even more frenzied experience, you can choose to cram all players on one screen instead of using both.

If more than two players hook up to battle, you can split into teams and work together. You're not immune to your teammates' bombs, so watch your step!

Eight players can battle it out simultaneously via a wireless LAN connection and only one Game Card is required
