Бомбермен: Акт Zero - сынған үміттер мен қараңғы болашақ

the Bomberman game released on PSP the same year

Bomberman: Act Zero (ボンバーマン Act：Zero, Bonbāman Act : Zero) is a maze video game developed by Hudson Soft for the Xbox 360 in 2006 and published by Hudson Soft in Japan and Konami worldwide. It is noteworthy for its departure from standard titles in the Bomberman series; it features more realistic graphics and a dark, dystopian future setting. The game was panned by critics and fans, and is considered one of the worst video games ever made.

Players, as Bombermen, must destroy each other to fight their way to the surface of the Earth and escape. Players can customize their character including their gender. The game is viewed from an overhead perspective, like other Bomberman titles. The levels have a number of pillars throughout that require players' characters to navigate down hallways; there are sometimes obstacles in these paths that can only be destroyed by bombs. The bombs are also necessary to defeat opponents. An alternate mode called "First Person Battle" allows players to view the action from behind the player character and are able to maneuver the camera. In the standard mode, the Bomberman can be killed by a single bomb (including their own); in FPB mode, they are given a life meter and can take multiple hits. In both modes, the Bombermen can pick up different power ups (including speed, bomb count, bomb strength, and bomb duration). Both modes last for 99 floors; if the player character dies, players must restart from the beginning. The game features an online only battle mode called "world battle" which supports up to eight players.

The game was first announced by Hudson Soft at the Tokyo Game Show 2005 with a brief teaser trailer showing off the redesigned Bomberman. At E3 2006, Konami announced they would be publishing the game at their press conference. In November 2006, a mobile phone version, titled Bomberman: Act Zero Mobile Type, was released for i Mobile phones exclusively in Japan.

GameSpots Justin Calvert played a single player demo of the game at E3 2006. He noted that the gameplay was "largely unchanged" from classic Bomberman titles.

Bomberman: Act Zero received "unfavorable" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. The game has been named one of the worst video games of all time by GamesRadar+ and The Guardian. In 2010, GameTrailers ranked the game at number one on their list of the "Top 10 Worst Sequels". Hudson Soft themselves expressed negative opinions on the game during a video for Bomberman Live.
