Given that Bomberman is one of the best games ever, and the Bomberman rip-off Bomb It was one of our favourite-ever Slackerjacks, you can imagine the squeal of excitement we let out when we heard about Bomb It 2.

Sadly, though, that squeal of excitement quickly turned into a yelp of disappointment. Bomb It 2 is nowhere near as good as the original. For starters the backgrounds are horrible – so uniformly urine-pastelly that it’s hard to tell what’s what. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. With Bomb It, we played and played for weeks. Whereas we doubt we’ll even return to Bomb It 2 at all
