CheatCC writes: "The Bomberman series has been around for quite some time now, and in the minds of many, this explosives tactician has officially jumped the shark. The debate really ends with the fact that the original concept of Bomberman is what has and always will work best. Next generation upgrades, like the ill fated Bomberman: Act Zero, almost always fall flat, thus leaving the series with a lack of productive growth. Bomberman Land Touch! 2, on the other hand, is able to deliver a relatively fresh experience; though the thrills may be short lived, there is fun to be had. "
The scores:
- Bubble Bobble: Double Shot: 2/10
- Bomberman Land Touch! 2: 7/10
- Fish Tycoon: 2/10
- Bleach: Blade of Fate: 6/10
- Kira Kira Pop Princess: 5/10
If you're a fan of Bomberman in its original essence, as a game about running about in a maze and dealing anguish to your friends, then Touch! 2 will meet you your needs with almost embarrassing comprehensiveness. Mini-game fans should probably give it a look. Bomberman fans, meanwhile, can stop looking: it's all here.

Overall -
Bomberman Land Touch! 2 proves that deception truly is a sly creature. As a mature gamer of virtuous standing, even Game Revolution nearly succumbed to the free-spirited fun of Star Bomber's kingdom of carnival games. Game Revolution pushed their skills to capture every last token, and had the monotonous backtracking not dragged late into the evening, they might have been lost forever. Unfortunately, it may be too late for others. The 'old-schoolers', the slovenly miscreants of gaming, will surely fall prey to the primal frenzy of Battle Mode. Is that the future you want for your child?
