Even though Bomberman 64 deviated from the traditional formula of over-the-top 2D view with focus on battling others, it managed to provide a decent new outlook with a 3D adventure that seemed appropriate for its time with all the new concepts and mechanics developers were employing with 3D technology.

Controls had a steep learning curve and were not very intuitive, gameplay and performance were a bit buggy at times but overall the levels were fun to play and figure out the progress. Creating your own character/Bomberman was a nice aspect at the time, providing some (basic) customization and variety to the game.

Even though I never managed to beat this game, it was a fun game to experience and see what developers had in mind at the time for the Bomberman games and concept.
