I know it's a really popular old-school game but 800 pts is a lot, especially after paying 400 for Sonic. Is anyone planning on getting this and playing it a bunch? Just asking cause it'll only be remotely justifiable to get it if the Live multiplayer is crowded, which I kind of doubt.

It's refined with better graphics, etc.

If you weren't complaining about Jetpac, why Bomberman Live now?

It look great and plays awesome.

The reason someone would pay $10 for an Arcade game such as Bomberman is because it is a new game. The title is not a port of the older generation game, but an all new Bomberman. New stages, modes, online play, and character customization. Other titles on the XBLA service are generic ports with no updates, which is the reason for a $5 price tag.

I purchased the game and I really enjoy it, it is fun simple and addicting, and well worth the price in my opinion. Majority of titles on the service are poor excuses that are not worth the time, but some are very good and deserve any price that the developers choose to charge. But of course, everyone has their own opinions, so stop whining people.

Good Xbox Live Arcade games

Geometry Wars, Bomberman, Castlevania, Alien Hominid, Doom, Worms,

If you're gonna complain, complain about the standard 800 MS points pricetag, don't target Bomberman, it's one of the better XBL games out there.

Bomberman is awesome. i was going head to head with a friend for hours when i first download it, and that was just trial mode. If you got friends to play with its worth it or if you gonna tear it up online its worth it. I look on these games as how much fun will i be able to have. not how old. Its a great buy.

Great game. I spent hours last night on Live playing 8-player matches. FUN. Dont be cheap, $10 is not bad at all considering its a new Bomberman and how much gameplay you are going to get out of it.

People need to get a life when it comes to XBLA game prices. $10 is not that much money. The game is classic bomberman with the most options of any of them. Plus, there is 8 player MP over Xbox Live.

Obviously, if you don't like BM, this game isn't worth it. If you like the game, $10 is a steal.

The Virtual Console has a Bomberman game for like $6 or $8 and it has half the features. That's the version you should be crying about.

Bomberman Live is the best XBLA game there is, in my opinion. Definitely worth 800 points.

This game is worth $50. Besides, those of uswho aren't completely stupid already knew that it was announced to be 800 MS points MONTHS ago, so why complain now? $10 for one of the best games ever made, revitalized with new graphics, modes, customization options, online play and more? This is one of the best deals 360 owners have seen since Castlevania came out on XBLA.

Besides, it's not a "classic." That's like calling Super Mario Galaxy a classic. It's a new game that is BASED on a classic series, that is it.

ppl are always gonna complain about something. this has been the price point from day one. Old classics are 400 points and new games are 800. thats it. its always been that way and more than likely its always gonna be that way. with that said however bomberman is worth it. I was hoping for a single player aspect to the game, not just taking on bots, but evenw ith the absence of i still really enjoy this game. there are plenty of ppl playing online and the new modes and maps are plenty of fun. its worth the 800 points, but not by alot. if i had a chance to go back i would def still buy it. either way why complain about the price. theres demos of all the games. dl them, try them. if you liek them enough to jsutify the points, then buy it. if not, shut up and dont waste forum space pls.

I played the original bomberman last night for a while through emulation. Sure the graphics aren't updated but the price of free is great! Ten bucks isa joke for an old game updated graphics or not. I get that ten bucks is nothing to some people but when you have a house to pay for, electric bill, car payments, etc.. ten bucks for an old schoo game is a rip off.

Couldn't agree more - absolutely fantastic job with this one. It brings back fond memories of 4-player SNES days, then blows me away with new features and XBL play. $10 is like a gift for this one :)
