Bomberman Live is a downloadable video game for the Xbox Live Arcade, developed by Backbone Entertainment as part of the Bomberman franchise. The game was announced on May 16, 2007 and released later that year. It would later see a retail release as part of the 2009 Xbox Live Arcade Game Pack.

A sequel, Bomberman Live: Battlefest, was released in 2010.

Gameplay

Anywhere from two to eight players compete in a battle or tournament, both of which consist of a series of individual rounds. In a tournament, the number of rounds is set at the beginning, whereas in a battle, play continues until one player has reached a set number of wins. In each round, the players are placed within a map, and use their arsenal of bombs to attack each other until only one is left standing. Players can also use their bombs to destroy bricks in the map, opening new routes and potentially revealing power-ups.
