Nearly every time my friends would come over during my teenage years, we would inevitably end up playing this game more often than not. It's just a blast (bad pun fully intended). Supposedly, the single player is really good, but I didn't spend very much time on that. This was the first Bomberman game to eschew the 2-D grid style in favor of an open 3-D style, and a lot of the multiplayer stages had areas at differing elevations and inclines to take advantage of that. Some stages even had high grass or snow that would hide where the bombs were, which was beneficial if you kicked it because the other players would have to guess where it was before it exploded. There were ten multiplayer stages in all, and nearly every one of them was fun. Because of the new 3-D style, the multiplayer handles differently than the other Bomberman games. This version favors long-distance kicking, pumping up bombs (especially if you got the Cherry Bomb powerup, which made your explosions even bigger), and generally just being aggressive and launching bombs like crazy. As such, individual rounds usually don't last that long, and it didn't get to sudden death mode (where bombs just fall from the sky all over the field) that often. At that point, you're just trying to survive, and it was cool when multiple players managed to make it all the way to the end of the round without dying, especially since it didn't happen often. This is the kind of game I miss being able to play now that I'm an adult who almost never has people over in person to play games anymore. At the same time, it makes me glad my teenage years were during the N64 era because, while the console didn't have a huge library overall, it had one of the best collections of multiplayer games anywhere. I don't think Bomberman 64 is my favorite of them (I'd probably give the edge to Mario Kart 64), but it's right up there with the best of them.
