Bomberman Live: Battlefest is a 2010 video game for the Xbox 360 console. It was developed by Pi Studios, published by Hudson Soft, and released on December 8, 2010 through Xbox Live Arcade.[1]

Part of the Bomberman franchise, it is the successor to 2007's Bomberman Live, and was the final console entry published by Hudson Soft before its acquisition and subsequent dissolution by Konami.

Gameplay

The gameplay follows the traditional Bomberman gameplay. Players must use bombs to blow up and defeat other players. The players must blow up bricks that stand in the way to make way to access other players. Blowing up bricks will give power ups such as increased speed or blast length. The last person standing in each round is the winner. If no players remain, a draw is declared.

Multiplayer

Bomberman Live: Battlefest includes up to eight people online along with teams. It has several modes and power ups, arenas, as well as Xbox Live Arcade Avatar support.
