Am I the only one who likes Smart Bomb? I got it in the post last Friday, and only after I ordered it, I started to see ratings of 3/10 and 4/10.

But I really like it. It puts you under a lot of stress as you have to defuse up to 9 sub-detonators before you get to the main detonator. And if you screw up any of the detonators, you have to go back to the start, there is no mid-saves.

I've defused 7 bombs so far, and I'm not sure how much is left, but it's class.

The controls can be a little un-responsive, but I think that if you keep your cool under pressure, it's just a matter of timimg.

The only things I dont like are the extraordinary long loading times for boot up, and when the bomb goes off. Another thing is that the screen starts to shake when there is only 20 seconds left, and gets worse as the time runs out. Very offputting, but it's all part of the game. It would be freaky if a rumble pack was attached.

It's not for anyone who loses their temper easily because it is frustrating to start all over again.

Who else has played it, and what did you think? I want to finish this so I can get back to Mercury and Wipeout Pure.

Exactly, it's getting bad feedback everywhere, But I reckon it from people who lose the rag quickly.

Maybe I should set up a Smart Bomb fan club for 1 person. :lol:

Almost picked this up, but opted for Lumines instead.

I think I'd get Mercury before this... assuming I ever feel the need for another puzzle game.

i see puzzle games as a quick and cheap way to make money... especially crap like puyo pop fever

Glover

Yeah, totally. I mean, it's not like anyone puts any real thought or effort into them, huh? And people totally derive no enjoyment from them whatsoever, which is why Lumines is one of the most popular PSP titles, and Meteos one of the most eagerly awaited DS titles...

I like puzzle games, I dont like Smart Bomb. I should have listened to the reviews. Thankfully I got it cheap on ebay or else I would be really pi22ed! The execution of this game is horrible. The graphics are ok but by the time you figure out what your supposed to do on each level and the controls you need bamb it blows and you gotta wait two minutes to start it over. FUN! Finally a game I like less than twisted metal! Dont buy unless your a PSP freak thats gotta own everything that comes out for it (ok maybe I fit that description but even I wouldnt make this mistake again) my score out of 10........1/10 This game borders on unplayable.

i think that smartbomb isnt that bad of a game but sort off complicated.

nugsfan

You know I was hoping for a complicated game like a couple of people have said, but IMO its just poorly executed which is why its hard. The tutorial for the levels is pathetic and your left scrambling trying to figure out what to do on each level, try this try that oh thats what this button does on this screen, then waiting for the reload after the screen blows which takes forever, just very poorly done IMO. Its only tough becaus the set-up is so poor,

Smart bomb is ok not that challenging to me but still pretty fun i guess
