It's one of those "easy to pick-up" games that gamers and non-gamers, as well as beginners and veterans can enjoy equally. Whereas most multiplayer games (particularly FPSs) require a certain amount of time to learn the maps and weapons in order to become proficient, after only a single round of Bomberman Ultra any type of player will have a more than adequate grasp of all the major game mechanics".
Planning to have friends over and play some games? Good for you. There are lots of great options, as readers of this column know, and you can jump in wherever you’d like.
You know, until that fifth person walks in the door.
It’s a thing that can cause a train wreck in the head of any gracious gaming host. All those games you planned to play? Either you’ll have an awkward person just sitting around and watching, or you’ll have to split up, which isn’t the best option. But while your options may be limited, they’re not gone: there are some great games that support five or more players.
Hunter Johnson: "When it comes to cute and loveable video game characters, Bomberman is one of the cutest (even if he does have a weird explosives fetish)."
Botchweed: "To release a list of the best multiplayer games on the Playstation Network at a time when the PSN Store remains inaccessible may seem ironic, or even distasteful. Nevertheless, there are many people who are itching to spend their hard-earned money on some top-quality games once the doors of the Store re-open, and here are 10 games that all multiplayer fans should own.
Seeing myself as something of a social gamer (paradox, I know), this list is based more on local rather than online multiplayer games. Games that will have you giggling joyously with your mates, but also punching them and giving them dead arms in competitive frustration."
Fat Princess is awesome! 4 player drop-in/out anytime, online or not is great.
