Bomberman 64: The Second Attack
Encyclopedia
The game received mixed to good reviews. Criticism came toward the graphics and sound by GameSpot
saying "Although Bomberman 64: The Second Attack is not at all revolutionary, it is not especially well executed in any particular area, and it suffers noticeably in the graphics and sound departments, but it still has its moments" and IGN
saying: "The game's look aspires to equal the quality first-generation titles like Super Mario 64 and Glover, but falls noticeably short." and "Cheesy music and sound effects never sounded so... average."
But the game also brought praise, mostly on the single-player gameplay. GameSpot praised the single player mode, but considered the puzzles too short, saying "Overall, the single-player mode is right about average. Although the new bomb types add variety, most of the puzzles don't require much thought". IGN criticized the game length, but praised the gameplay, as they say "The hidden stuff to be found and unlocked is way cool, but the length and difficulty of the one player mode is suspect." Allgame
praised both the Pommy sidekick and the single-player mode, "his title does offer a fully developed single-player mode as well, in which the hero must travel to different areas, defeating enemy bosses and gaining new powers. Bomberman 64: The Second Attack also introduces a cute little sidekick for the hero, who is occasionally helpful and who may "evolve" and grow in power if given the proper attention."
