New game modes allow up to 5 enemies in the 'Battle Royal Mode' or 'Custom Battle Mode', with a variety of new features. But for a player provides the remake of the classic Bomberman with 50 levels for long enough addictive game sessions! Review Bomberman, a titled birthed on the NES and later honed to perfection on the TurboGrafx-16, SNES, and Genesis consoles, is a title with a reputation that hasn't been doing too well of late. With a poor, isometric 3D release on the Nintendo 64 and an even more atrocious PlayStation racing title, it seemed as if Hudson was hell-bent on erasing Bomberman from the annals of gaming lore forever. What a surprise, then, to see the PlayStation release of Bomberman Party Edition, a top-down Bomberman title that returns to the series' old-school gameplay roots. Even more surprising, Vatical has just released it here. Bomberman Party Edition is a top-down battle game for up to five players. In it, you and your friends take control of what are known as - you guessed it - Bombermen, whose sole purpose in life is to lay time bombs. Wander around a maze of blocks, set bombs, gather power-ups, and lure your friends into explosive situations - that is the essence of Bomberman Party Edition. The formula itself may not sound impressive, but it's this simplicity that makes Bomberman insidiously addictive. You walk around and try to trap your friends in corners, and they try to do the same to you, all while multiple explosions erupt in every direction. From time to time, a Louie egg may appear, giving you an added power to use while sitting atop a cute kangaroo. Mix in standard power-ups that accentuate bomb strength, increase bomb capacity, allow bombs to be kicked, and a whole host of variations on the theme, and you end up with a game that is exciting, simple, and competitive. If you don't like the rules in the battle mode, you can use the Bomberman Party Edition's custom mode to tweak the settings to your liking. The game offers a few new twists, such as screen-filling hyperbombs and post-death chariot riding, which you may enable or disable at your leisure. Some people won't enjoy flying around the screen and pestering their friends after they've been fragged, so it's nice to see an option to disable this feature. You can also adjust round length, number of matches per win, quantity of power-ups, and hit points as well. From the amount of available options, it is obvious a lot of effort went into creating Bomberman Party Edition's multiplayer mode. Unfortunately, all is not rose petals and ice cream in Bomberman land. Bomberman Party Edition's single-player mode, as is usually the case among Bomberman titles, is trash. Prior Bomberman titles take you on a journey through lush jungles and bizarre alien worlds, exercising your bomb-dropping skills to save the world. Bomberman Party Edition not only lacks this subplot, but it also lacks the lush worlds. As you progress through the game's 50 levels, you'll combat endless hordes of mindless enemies on levels that barely differ from the multiplayer battle arenas. While there are more enemies to clear, there is no complimentary increase in detail or design. Furthermore, you get an extra life for every level you beat, throwing difficulty right out the window. Zero fun and zero challenge. About the only bright spot in the single-player mode is that playing with the classic visuals enabled gives the game a sort of 1987-era NES-style nostalgia. Visually, there isn't much you can do with a top-down arena battle title. Bomberman's visual design peaked with Super Bomberman 3 and hasn't changed since. Despite a few post-explosion particle effects and transparencies, Bomberman Party Edition doesn't seek to improve upon this formula either. While the formerly anime-style character models now have a pseudo-CGI feel imposed on them, the overall look and feel is on par with Saturn Bomberman - in other words, crisp and nondistracting. The game's sound quality meets a much worse fate, however. Sound effects and character voice snippets are hilarious and impacting, but Bomberman Party Edition's background music is simply atrocious. Remixing the old Bomberman themes is one thing, but giving them a Muzak twinge is cruel and unusual punishment. Still, Bomberman has never been about visuals or sound, so Bomberman Party Edition doesn't stumble too badly. Despite its unusually deficient single-player mode, Bomberman Party Edition still manages to succeed where many previous attempts have failed, delivering an uproariously enjoyable multiplayer experience. With the popularity of party titles such as Mario Party and Crash Bash, Vatical is obviously aiming to offer this subset of gamers another alternative for their group-gaming dollar. Thanks to its less than modern visuals, Bomberman Party Edition may not make the same overwhelming first impression that competing efforts achieve, but if you give it a minute or two, you'll likely find the addiction known as Bomberman has you in its grasp.--Jeff Gerstmann--Copyright © 2000 GameSpot Inc.

Out of the three, Party Edition takes the cake with its versatile multiplayer (up to five players) options, a descent remake of Bomberman's first video game outing (1983), and all the amazing features to be loved. GAMEPLAY: [10/10] Party Edition provides two modes of excellent Bomberman action as it should be. First comes the remake of the original Bomberman, where you can choose either Modern or Retro graphics to your liking. Gameplaywise, it's nothing too different compared with the original. But it's definitely a great reminder and representation of how Bomberman started and most importantly, how the series evolved into the popular franchise it has become today. You can also save your progress with a memory card or resume your last game with a simple 8-digit password. The only disappointment is that you cannot save any time or be given a password unless you lose all of your lives. Second is Battle Mode, where the heart of the game lies. Without cheat codes or the need to unlock hidden content, there are three level settings provided (Beginner, Normal and Advanced) that each have their own stages and characters to choose from. To make things more versatile, every stage is original and will require you to develop a different strategy. The 'Advanced' characters even have their own abilities (jet-packs, hammers, etc.). You can also allow Sudden Death, the Hyper Bomber bonus game or the Bomber Cart to create the ultimate multiplayer party experience. GRAPHICS: [8/10] The 2D-rendered graphics for Party Edition at first did not light my fire (in comparison to those of Saturn Bomberman and the Super Bomberman series for the SNES). But in a short matter of time, I learned to love them. The graphics are colorful, polished and oldschool as ever before! SOUND/MUSIC: [9/10] It's always grand pleasure to hear the original Japanese voices of Bomberman in action. The music on the other hand isn't too memorable, but it works perfect for the game. It maintains the retro feel of the series. OVERALL: So if you're alone or bored at home, the gameplay of Bomberman Party Edition will keep you busy for quite a while. But you may want to order a pizza and call some friends over to get a taste of the unlimited multiplayer action. You will not be disappointed. Have a great day everyone! =D Recommendations: Mega Bomberman (Sega Genesis) Super Bomberman 1 - 5 (Super Nintendo) Saturn Bomberman (Sega Saturn) Bomberman World (PS1) Review: No luck - It didn't work in my system so had to send it back ## Features - Bomberman returns to his old-school, 2D roots in BOMBERMAN PARTY EDITION - 2D graphics; blow each other to pieces; power-ups; tried-and-true game play formula; Modern or Classic modes ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00004UF9J | | Best Sellers Rank | #99,167 in Video Games ( See Top 100 in Video Games ) #1,205 in PlayStation Games | | Computer Platform | PC | | Customer Reviews | 3.6 3.6 out of 5 stars (29) | | Date First Available | June 23, 2000 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | Yes | | Item Weight | 4 ounces | | Language | English | | Manufacturer | Playstation 1 | | Product Dimensions | 5.5 x 0.5 x 5 inches; 4 ounces | | Rated | Everyone | | Release date | November 3, 2000 | | Type of item | Video Game | | UPC | 681313046512 681313046581 | ## Images ![Bomberman Party Edition - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/411Awal9eEL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The finest Bomberman experience for the PS1! *by L***N on September 3, 2013* Our colorful and explosive hero Bomberman had only three games released in the United States for the PS1: Bomberman World (1998), Fantasy Race (1999) and Party Edition (2000).

It was released as a budget title ($20 new on first day of release), and was delayed a few times right before its release, probably over a few quality issues. The AI was just plain terrible from what I remember. I spent too much time watching the computer AI hide from each other while I sat and waited time to run out if I had already died. For the same price or cheaper, just get Bomberman Generations for the Game Cube (get a Game Cube since they are so cheap now) which has very good multi-player, good AI, lots of differnet levels, more fun items (dangerout bomb -- like a little atomic bomb). --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/12377565-bomberman-party-edition](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/12377565-bomberman-party-edition) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-04-30*
