Bomberman Land Touch! 2

In the beginning of the game's story mode, Cheerful White (Bomberman) and his friends are traveling by boat towards Bom-Bom Kingdom, a theme park owned by a magician known as Star Bomber. Originally, Bomberman's friend Giant Gold planned to take Cute Pink to the island for a date, but in the end, Cheerful White and his friends came along as well. The story mode follows Cheerful White as he explores the Bom-Bom Kingdom theme park, and takes part in its attractions.

Bomberman Land Touch! 2 features similar gameplay to its predecessor. It has three modes of play: Story, Battle, and Attractions. In Story mode, layers control Cheerful White in a theme park in a top-down perspective, where they search for items to unlock different zones and mini-games. Battle mode features the traditional gameplay structure of the Bomberman series, where players are tasked with dropping bombs to break through walls in a maze that separate each other. The objective is to survive until the end, typically by blowing the opponents up with the bombs. Attractions mode allows players to replay mini-games that they have unlocked.[1]

Bomberman Land Touch! 2 was confirmed alongside Bomberman Land on Wii and Bomberman Land on PlayStation Portable.[2] Where a North American version was planned for January 29, 2008, Konami did not then confirm whether it would come to Europe.[3]

Since its release, Bomberman Land Touch! 2 has received mixed reception from critics. It holds an average rating of 74 out of 100 on Metacritic.[4] GameSpot praised it for its battle mode and its assortment of mini-games.[5] IGN enjoyed its mini-games and multi-player mode, but felt that it did not offer much to those who purchased the first Bomberman Land Touch!.[6] GamesRadar agreed, also noting their disappointment that the mini-games did not feature online play.[7] Pocket Gamer felt it not as original compared to its predecessor, while noting it as a "worthy successor."[8] Writer Matthew Madeiro was critical of the game's story and soundtrack, but found the mini-games good, despite their otherwise negative view of mini-games in video games.[9] While Game Revolution found the Battle mode fun and the mini-games inventive, they found the backtracking in the story mode to be excessive.[10] Eurogamer found the single-player mode to be superior to earlier Bomberman game Bomberman Story DS and noted how it continuously engaged them by providing new things to unlock all the time.[11]
