Based on analyzing reviews that specifically scored or critiqued the story and narrative.

The story mode of Super Bomberman R 2 receives mixed praise, with several critics highlighting its structural creativity and gameplay variety. Hobby Consolas notes the single-player campaign’s focus on rescuing Ellons across three planets, incorporating puzzles, enemy encounters, and boss battles, which adds a sense of progression. PLAY! Zine emphasizes the co-op functionality and the inclusion of a level editor, appealing to creative players. Impulsegamer acknowledges the story as “interesting” despite its child-friendly tone, while SpazioGames appreciates its engaging mechanics, even if they feel repetitive. Vandal praises the campaign’s puzzle stages and boss battles as an improvement over previous entries in the series, and Xbox Tavern highlights the narrative depth provided by the Ellons’ introduction. These positives suggest that the story mode offers a functional framework for gameplay exploration, though it is not without its flaws. However, the majority of critics find the story mode underwhelming or even tedious. GamingBolt calls it “mind numbingly trite and awful,” while God is a Geek describes it as “dull and feels ponderous.” Hardcore Gamer criticizes the narrative for turning the game into a “babysitting simulator” with its focus on rescuing Ellons, and Noisy Pixel finds the cutscenes “chaotic and haphazard.” Meristation labels the plot “simplistic,” while IGN and Nintendo Life both note the repetitive nature of the campaign, calling it a “tutorial for multiplayer” or a “grind.” The lack of narrative depth is further emphasized by critics like NintendoWorldReport, who argue the gameplay doesn’t mesh well with the “hide-and-seek retrieval task,” and Shacknews, which compares the storyline unfavorably to earlier entries in the series. These critiques highlight a widespread dissatisfaction with the story’s execution and engagement. Overall, the consensus leans toward the story mode being a functional but unremarkable component of Super Bomberman R 2. While some critics, like Hobby Consolas and Vandal, appreciate its gameplay mechanics and creative elements, the majority view it as repetitive, shallow, or overly simplistic. The narrative’s focus on rescuing Ellons and its linear structure draw criticism for lacking emotional depth or originality, with many reviewers feeling it prioritizes mechanics over storytelling. Despite occasional praise for co-op features or level creation tools, the story mode is largely seen as a secondary aspect of the game, serving more as a framework for multiplayer rather than a compelling standalone experience. This mixed reception underscores a divide between those who value its accessibility and structure versus those who find it unengaging and derivative.

Based on analyzing reviews that specifically scored or critiqued the gameplay mechanics.

The gameplay of Super Bomberman R 2 is widely praised for its faithful adherence to the classic formula while introducing fresh elements that enhance replayability. Critics like Hobby Consolas and PC Games highlight the game’s core mechanics, emphasizing strategic bomb placement, enemy trapping, and chaotic multiplayer battles. The inclusion of new modes such as Battle 64, Grand Prix, and the Castle mode (noted by GameSpew, IGN, and Digitally Downloaded) adds variety, offering both competitive and creative challenges. Impulsegamer and XboxEra commend the fast-paced, skill-based multiplayer, while Cubed3 and Nintendo Life appreciate the blend of nostalgic grid mechanics with modern twists like team-based battles and local/co-op play. The game’s accessibility and addictive nature in modes like Battle Royale (mentioned by LevelUp) further solidify its appeal to both longtime fans and newcomers. However, several critics point out flaws that detract from the experience. Hardcore Gamer and Noisy Pixel criticize the repetitive progression system, with the former noting the tedium of collecting Ellons and the latter disliking the tower defense elements in the campaign. TheSixthAxis highlights technical issues like awkward collision detection and controls, while Game Informer finds the story mode frustrating due to its lack of exploration. Meristation and Noisy Pixel also note a general lack of innovation, with the former stating the game “falls short in terms of refinement.” Additionally, some modes, such as Castello (reviewed by Multiplayer.it), are deemed confusing for newcomers, and online multiplayer faces criticism for limited variety. These issues suggest that while the gameplay is enjoyable, it occasionally struggles to balance novelty with polish. Overall, the consensus among critics leans heavily toward appreciation for Super Bomberman R 2’s gameplay, particularly its multiplayer focus and nostalgic charm. While IGN, Digitally Downloaded, and GameSpew praise the strategic depth and variety of modes, they acknowledge that the game’s reliance on familiar mechanics and occasional design flaws (as noted by Hardcore Gamer and TheSixthAxis) prevent it from being groundbreaking. The game succeeds as a fun, chaotic party experience, especially in local multiplayer settings, but its shortcomings—such as repetitive progression and uneven mode balance—mean it appeals more to fans of the series than to those seeking innovation. Despite these critiques, the majority agree that Super Bomberman R 2 delivers a satisfying, if not entirely original, gameplay experience.

Based on analyzing reviews that specifically scored or critiqued the graphics and visual design.

The graphics and visual design of Super Bomberman R 2 received a mix of praise for their charm and stylistic choices. Critics like Hobby Consolas highlighted the game’s "more appealing diorama style" compared to its predecessor, while Hardcore Gamer and Hey Poor Player praised its vibrant, cartoonish aesthetic and comic-book art style, noting that it retains the series’ nostalgic appeal. PC Games emphasized the extensive customization options, including character skins and bomb designs, which added personalization to the visual experience. Additionally, Meristation acknowledged minor improvements in textures and shadows, and Vandal appreciated the stylish visuals despite their lack of significant innovation. The game’s cutscenes and character designs were frequently lauded for their energy and fun, as noted by IGN and Hey Poor Player, who found them "stylized with vibrant colors" and "appealing." However, several critics pointed to shortcomings in the visual design, particularly its lack of originality and technical execution. God is a Geek and SpazioGames criticized the basic, unmemorable environments and enemy designs, while Push Square noted that the visuals could be "visually cluttered," making it hard to track bombs. On the Nintendo Switch, reviews were more mixed, with Game Informer, Multiplayer.it, and Nintendo Life pointing out blurry textures, pixelated shadows, and a general lack of graphical flair. Noisy Pixel raised an unusual concern about "phallic" environmental elements, though this was framed as a subjective interpretation. Meanwhile, TheSixthAxis and XboxEra highlighted issues with gameplay clarity and a missed opportunity for a cell-shaded art style, respectively. The Switch version faced particular scrutiny for its performance issues and outdated visuals, as noted by Shacknews and Nintenduo. Overall, the critical consensus leans toward a balanced but underwhelming assessment of Super Bomberman R 2’s graphics. While many praised its nostalgic charm, colorful aesthetics, and customization options, the lack of significant artistic evolution and technical polish—especially on the Nintendo Switch—detracted from its visual appeal. Hobby Consolas and Vandal acknowledged the game’s stylistic strengths, but most critics agreed that it failed to push the series forward in terms of innovation or graphical ambition. The Switch version, in particular, was seen as a letdown due to its technical limitations, whereas the PS5 and PC ports received more favorable reviews for their consistent presentation. Ultimately, while the game’s visuals retained the series’ core identity, they were often described as "average" or "uninspired," leaving room for improvement in future entries.

TL;DR

Super Bomberman R 2’s chiptune soundtrack is a nostalgic, high-energy feast for Konami fans, blending retro charm with dynamic gameplay music and unlockable classics from Castlevania and Metal Gear. While its energetic style and variety earn praise, repetition in campaign tracks and occasional annoyance from overused melodies temper the experience, highlighting a mix of homage and innovation that leans strongly on nostalgia but struggles with longevity.

Based on analyzing reviews that specifically scored or critiqued the music and sound design.

The sound design and music of Super Bomberman R 2 received generally positive reception, with many critics praising its nostalgic and energetic qualities. Hobby Consolas highlighted the chiptune-inspired soundtrack as "nostalgic," while PC Games noted the inclusion of remixed tracks from various Konami games, appealing to fans of the franchise. Vandal emphasized the upbeat and nostalgic nature of the music, particularly its iconic Konami themes, and XboxEra described it as "fast-paced and high-energy," finding it enjoyable. Additionally, Xbox Tavern praised the dynamic background tracks that intensify with gameplay tension, while Pure Nintendo called the soundtrack "simple, bouncy, and reminiscent of the '90s." The game’s variety of music, including unlockable tracks from Castlevania and Metal Gear (as noted by Shacknews), further enriched its appeal. Critics like IGN and LevelUp also acknowledged the music as "as good as ever" and "good," respectively, underscoring its strong foundation in retro-inspired design. However, several critics pointed out flaws, particularly regarding repetition and occasional annoyance. Hobby Consolas and Vandal both noted that the campaign’s music could become repetitive during extended play sessions, while LevelUp found the campaign melodies "irritating after a while." Vooks described the soundtrack as "serviceable but can become repetitive," adding that some enemy sounds were "annoying." While these critiques were less frequent than the praise, they highlighted a common issue with the music’s longevity. Additionally, while voice acting was criticized by GamingBolt and Game Informer for being poorly executed or over-the-top, this aspect of the game’s audio design did not directly impact the music itself but underscored broader concerns about the game’s production quality. Overall, the critics’ opinions on Super Bomberman R 2’s sound design and music leaned heavily toward appreciation for its nostalgic charm and energetic style, with many celebrating its ties to Konami’s legacy. However, repetition in the soundtrack and occasional annoyance from specific audio elements tempered this enthusiasm. While some critics, like IGN and Vandal, acknowledged the music’s strengths despite its flaws, others, such as Hobby Consolas and LevelUp, emphasized that the repetitive nature of certain tracks could detract from the experience over time. The game’s ability to blend retro aesthetics with modern gameplay mechanics, coupled with its fanservice-oriented music offerings, created a mixed but largely favorable impression, reflecting a balance between homage and innovation.

Based on analyzing reviews that specifically scored or critiqued the voice acting.

The voice acting in Super Bomberman R 2 receives a mixed reception, with several critics highlighting its charm and accessibility. Hobby Consolas notes the availability of English and Japanese voices alongside decent Spanish text, emphasizing the game’s localization efforts. Hey Poor Player praises the “cheesy charm” of the voice acting, which they argue enhances the game’s appeal without feeling off-putting. XboxEra finds the cutscene voice acting “adorable,” while Xbox Tavern specifically commends the Bomber siblings’ performances as “very well done,” contributing positively to the game’s presentation. Shacknews describes the voice work as “kooky,” aligning with the game’s wacky tone, and Vooks highlights that the story mode features fully voiced cutscenes by the Bomberman Bros. characters. These positives suggest that the voice acting is often seen as a fitting complement to the game’s lighthearted style, even if not universally praised. However, several critics express dissatisfaction with the quality and execution of the voice acting. GamingBolt criticizes it as “worse” and notes the writing isn’t strong, while Impulsegamer finds the tone and style unappealing. Noisy Pixel describes the cutscene voices as “loud and annoying,” though they question whether this stems from the acting itself or the chaotic nature of the scenes. Game Informer calls the voice acting “over-the-top” and says it “gets old immediately,” while IGN bluntly labels it “confoundingly bad.” These negative assessments often focus on the lack of polish, exaggerated delivery, or mismatched tone, suggesting that some players find the voice work distracting rather than endearing. The criticism also extends to the game’s narrative, with some linking poor writing to subpar vocal performances. Overall, the critical consensus reflects a split between appreciation for the voice acting’s charm and accessibility versus frustration with its technical shortcomings. While outlets like XboxEra, Hey Poor Player, and Xbox Tavern celebrate the voices as integral to the game’s personality, others like IGN and Game Informer dismiss them as poorly executed. The presence of both English and Japanese voice options (noted by Hobby Consolas and Nintenderos) adds flexibility, but this doesn’t fully mitigate the polarizing reception. Ultimately, the voice acting seems to divide opinions based on whether players prioritize whimsical charm over technical quality, with no clear majority favoring one perspective over the other.

The technical performance of Super Bomberman R 2 varies across platforms, with some positives noted. On the PS5, reviewers like SpazioGames and The Games Machine highlight that the game runs smoothly without major glitches, though The Games Machine acknowledges slightly longer load times. Vandal notes that while the PS5 version doesn’t fully exploit the console’s capabilities, it avoids critical issues. For the Nintendo Switch, Nintenderos and Vooks praise its overall performance, with Vooks stating it “performs fine,” though Nintenduo criticizes subpar resolution. On the Xbox Series X, XboxEra mentions long load times but otherwise finds no major flaws. Game Informer also notes that performance is consistent across platforms, with better graphics on non-Switch versions. Negatives are more pronounced, particularly on the Nintendo Switch. Multiple critics, including LevelUp, Nintenduo, Pure Nintendo, and Shacknews, cite persistent long loading times and poor optimization, while Pocket Tactics reports occasional stuttering and menu issues. Multiplayer.it adds that online servers are hard to access, and environments feel repetitive. On the PS5, Meristation criticizes multiplayer lag, limiting options to single-player and local play, while Push Square notes frame rate drops. Vandal calls the PS5 version “disappointing,” citing underwhelming load times and unremarkable graphical modes. The Xbox Series X also struggles with long load times per XboxEra, though no other major issues are highlighted. Overall, critics agree that Super Bomberman R 2 faces technical challenges, particularly on the Nintendo Switch, where optimization and stability are frequent concerns. While the PS5 version has minor flaws like lag and graphical limitations, it remains functional, and the Xbox Series X version, though plagued by load times, avoids critical issues. The Switch’s performance is the most inconsistent, with repeated complaints about loading times, resolution, and online play. Despite these drawbacks, many reviewers acknowledge that the game is playable across platforms, with Game Informer emphasizing its consistent core performance despite graphical disparities. The mixed reception underscores a need for further optimization, especially on the Switch, where technical hurdles overshadow its charm.

The majority of critics highlight Super Bomberman R 2’s strong replay value through its robust multiplayer options, customization, and creative tools. Hobby Consolas praises the local multiplayer, unlockable characters, and Castle mode as standout features, while PC Games emphasizes the stage editor for custom level creation and downloadability. GameSpew and GamingBolt note cross-platform play and diverse match types, with Hey Poor Player calling the multiplayer modes and customization “significant” for replayability.

The game’s focus on community-driven creativity—such as stage sharing and competitive modes—resonates across multiple platforms, making it appealing to fans of the series. However, several critics point out limitations that could hinder replayability. PLAY! Zine warns that online mode restrictions may reduce long-term appeal, while Impulsegamer notes issues with bots and limited mode selection in online play. Meristation criticizes inconsistent netcode and the chaotic nature of Castle Mode, which might frustrate some players. Noisy Pixel argues that the game lacks significant innovations to justify a purchase, and SpazioGames finds the single-player repetitive despite its multiplayer strengths. Game Informer and Multiplayer.it also mention repetitive competitive modes and a lack of tutorials, which could alienate newcomers. Additionally, NintendoWorldReport doubts the game’s long-term appeal compared to predecessors, while Nintenduo calls the features “not particularly inspired.” These critiques suggest that while the game offers depth, its execution in certain areas may limit its replayability for some. Overall, critics agree that Super Bomberman R 2 delivers strong replay value through its multiplayer focus, customization options, and creative tools, but acknowledge room for improvement. Vandal calls it the best installment in over a decade, praising unlockables and competitive modes, while IGN and Nintendo Life emphasize the progression systems and online engagement. However, concerns about online limitations, repetitive single-player content, and lack of innovation persist. The game’s appeal hinges on its ability to cater to fans of the series who prioritize multiplayer and customization, even if it falls short in some areas for newcomers or casual players. Despite mixed feedback, the consensus leans toward positive, with many critics recognizing its potential to keep players engaged through its dynamic features.

Reviewers like Hobby Consolas and PC Games highlight the game’s fun gameplay, new customization options, and varied modes, emphasizing its potential as a must-have for fans. XboxEra and Xbox Tavern commend its solid package, noting the level editor and party-friendly mechanics as standout features. The multiplayer-focused design, particularly in Battle Mode, is frequently lauded, with Nintendo Life calling it a “triumphant return” and Cubed3 appreciating its fast-paced, colorful action. Even critics who acknowledge flaws, such as The Games Machine, recognize the game’s content-rich appeal for both longtime fans and newcomers. However, several criticisms emerge regarding the game’s lack of innovation, technical polish, and value for money. Noisy Pixel and Meristation argue that R 2 fails to differentiate itself from its predecessor or the broader series, while Push Square points to visual clutter and frame rate issues as detractors. The story mode is frequently criticized as dull or underwhelming—God is a Geek calls it “dull and overdone,” and IGN notes repetitive content and disappointing graphics.

Additionally, Hardcore Gamer and SpazioGames criticize the chaotic gameplay mechanics and uninspired visuals, while Multiplayer.it highlights a lack of tutorials that could alienate newcomers. Despite these critiques, the consensus among critics leans toward appreciation for Super Bomberman R 2 as a competent sequel that delivers on its core strengths, particularly in multiplayer.

The game’s ability to cater to fans of the series is widely recognized, with Nintendo Life and Cubed3 recommending it for multiplayer nights despite its shortcomings. Ultimately, while R 2 may not revolutionize the franchise, it is seen as a worthwhile addition for those seeking nostalgic fun, even if it falls short of perfection.

TL;DR

The reviewer finds it difficult to determine if the game is worth the price tag. If you enjoyed previous games and don't have any in your collection, it's a good way to have the classic game with some extra modes. However, if you only plan to play the standard game, the price may not be justified. The reviewer's opinion may be influenced by their dislike of the story mode animations.
