Newest in the bomberman series, what is bomberman you ask? Well first, get out from under that rock you apparently live under and I'll tell you

The Bomberman Live! Series is, in a nutshell, the multiplayer that's been in the entire series from the start, with map gimmicks and neat-o power ups, with the addition of finding, and picking up costume parts so you can make your own bomberman that's custom to you, hell I have a wizard pimp as mine. If a wizard pimp shitting bombs at your friends doesn't sell you already then you are a monster.

But seriously, 4-8 players online/offline are placed in a grid, where they use bombs that explode in a + shape to destroy "Soft blocks" to uncover power ups and other things depending on gametype you're in. You then use said power ups to chase down enemies and blow them the fuck up. When dead, if revenge is set on you'll be sent out to a little go kart outside the level, and allowed to hurl bombs in to ruin the alive players day, if super revenge is on, if you manage to kill a alive guy while in a cart, you take his spot and get revived, holy shit!!

So what are some power ups that make this different then the others?
[b]Old[/b]
Fire up: Make your bombs go out a tiny bit further (+1 on the grid)
Rollerblades: Go faster. Zoom
Bomb up: Makes it so you can drop a extra bomb
Full Fire: Max out your bombs firepower
Punch Glove: Lets you punch bombs 2 spaces away from you. TRAPPED NO MORE
Bomb Kicku: Run into a bomb to kick it across the entire grid, may explode while traveling so don't run at old bombs
Glove: Pick up bombs and run around with them, toss it over walls etc
Line Bomb: Mash A to create a tower of bombs
P bomb: Gives you one full fire bomb no matter what your current fire up status is
Remote control: Hit b to detonate your bombs, the ultimate in cheaping out people
Deadly: Bombs explode in a fuckhuge square. Panic if one is near you
Pass through: Ignores soft blocks and catches folks off guard
[b]Power Downs[/b]
Sandles: Slows you down
Wet fuse: Lowers fire level
Bomb down: Lowers bomb level
[b]New weapons[/b]
Rockets!: First bomb you lay down zips ahead of you, and explodes upon hitting a soft block or wall, stuns enemies it runs over.
Cluster!: A red bomb that when it explodes, shoots out more bombs in a + shape which explode with half the firepower of the original
Laser Mine: Trip the laser to set it off, laser fills a entire + grid but is only as strong as your fire up
Barrier: Drop a soft block onto the field to hopefully take a shot for you, can crush you if your dumb
Double Power: Lets you use 2 special types of bombs, two rockets, two clusters etc at a time.

Pretty cool huh, so about those stages?
Classic: No gimmick tied to it

Adventure Island: Palm trees around the level have a chance of randomly dropping coconuts. THAT EXPLODE OH FUCK

Dark Castle: Takes place in a haunted house, drafts randomly sweep in blowing your fuses out

Factory: Powerups come in on conveyer belts, dangerous as all fuck

Giant: Huge ass map, you can get lost pretty easy surprisingly

Laser Arena: The walls will shoot lasers in a straight line that will randomly stun you and knock a power up out of you if you aren't careful

MultiMaze: The level changes around as the match goes on opening ways and having a chance to ultimately fuck you over

Pirate Ship: OH FUCK sums it up nicely, the ship tosses and turns throwing everything around in complete chaos

Power Station: The Hard blocks can explode in a huge range if you blow them up to many times, challenging stage

Reflectors: There are shields that direct your bomb blasts all around the grid. You are never safe. Ever.

Steamworks: Bomb blasts can ruin the pipes around the stage, which fire lethal hot gas out turning the level into a maze

Thunderstorm: Thunder can ignite bombs, and rain can put them out, intense luck based level

Time Tunnel: A giant clock in the middle shoots out energy waves in a rhythm, green ones that hit you speed you up to max speed for awhile, while red slows you down to a absolute crawl

Volcano: Steam rises from the lava sometimes turning normal bombs into dangerous ones oh jesus

Waterways: The level is split into 4 sections, each one linked by a single bridge, chokepoints if you will

Random: Randomly selects from the above for each ROUND

[b]MAN THAT'S ALOT[/b]
But it's not all, there's also game types! New ones woah!
Battle: Normal bomberman mode, run at people you hate and throw bombs!

Zombie: no one can die, and your bombs flip tiles over, try to paint the arena your color only!

Paint bomb: Zombie, but you can die D:!!!

Capture the Crown: A crown spawns and you need to grab it, player who has it, gets points the longer they hold it while others try to bomb him and steal it

Bankroll: You start with 10 bucks, buy as many power ups as you can and fight normally, soft blocks contain money as well so you can get cash for the next round.

Capture the Flag: Grab the enemy teams flag and bring it to your teams base, surprisingly it -works-

VIP: One of your teammates has a crown, and one enemy has a crown. Kill im'

Then there's team versions for each game mode

Here's the trailer, which honestly tells you everything you need to know gameplay wise :v:

Loved Bomberman Live so I'll probably milk all my money into the crappy dlc that will come in here
