Bomberman Land Wii tries to revitalize the classic Bomberman formula by transitioning the explosive action to a theme park setting. This results in a focus on story mode, where you'll tackle a barrage of minigames using the Wii Remote. While the presentation is charming, the minigames themselves vary wildly in quality, ranging from simple fun to frustratingly imprecise. Bomberman Land Wii has its moments and some classic Bomberman multiplayer for groups, but its reliance on uneven minigames makes it feel more like a novelty than a must-play for fans of the series.

I am absolutely convinced this game was made by sociopaths. The first two zones are a complete cakewalk, and the mini games are rather fun, but as soon as you get to the third zone in the story mode, it turns into blood boiling trail and error. Once you begin to get a decent ways into this game, you are required to do really well or you will not make the cut for qualification to the next zone. Coupled with the champions annoying unique rules to each round, and needing to practice each mini game quite thoroughly before attempting the main event, this game ends up becoming a vicious cycle of heartbreak and pointless skill before you even know it.

One aspect of the game I do enjoy however, I'd the idea of buying outfits to increase your style points, giving you bonus tokens from the tournament staff, allowing more tries at that rounds games. I thought that was a creative idea and is rather helpful.

The game isn't much to write home amount in the rest of its aspects. Some mini games are fun, some are infuriating. The game just looks like your standard Bomberman game, nothing offensive, however some aspects like animations and overall assets do make it look cheap.

Overall, only play this game if you don't have much of your sanity in tact already.
