Lyte Edge gives it 70%
Visually, Bomberman Act: Zero is nothing to write home about. The game's graphics are adequate, but the biggest problem is that both the characters and the stages are dark and grey in appearance; brighter colors for the Bombers would have been better. The soundtrack fits Act: Zero's aesthetics quite well, with a mixture of techno and hard rock to compliment the action.
Extras
Bomberman Act: Zero contains no extra features other than the standard Xbox 360 game achievements. You can customize your character, but this is limited to only gender and armor color choices.
Overall
Bomberman Act: Zero is a budget title, and looking at the game from that perspective, you are certainly getting enough for the price. The lack of stage types and offline multiplayer hinder the game's longevity a bit, but overall, Act: Zero plays well, the new FPB mode is fun, and the Standard mode still offers classic Bomberman fun.
