Konami today announced that Bomberman: Act Zero has shipped to retail stores for the Xbox 360. Players are challenged to survive through 99 stages as they try to escape an experimental underground facility and destroy their opponents to fight for survival in a terrifying industrial future. The game also brings the series’ timeless multiplayer action online as players can engage in massive eight player battles over the Xbox Live online entertainment network. Bomberman: Act Zero carries a suggested retail price of $49.99.
Bomberman Act: Zero features a breakthrough First Person Bomber mode that gives players complete control over the camera, allowing for a tight over the shoulder view of the action or a birds-eye perspective of the entire battlefield. This mode also grants the player maneuvers that let them absorb the impact of bomb blasts in addition to a life bar, allowing for more aggressive play and new strategies for obliterating their opponents. All of the game’s 99 single player stages can be played in the new FPB mode or in the classic Bomberman style without a life bar from a top down view.
