Starting up 1 player mode brought me to the screens above, where I chose which creature I wanted to ride, and was given the option to spend money on some items I can start with in the race. Louie’s are rabbit type creatures that are very light and easy to jump around with, while Tirra’s are faster but harder to control when it comes to turns and jumps. Each have great traits that make them equally good to pick from, so go with your gut and pick the right creature for your racer! The game starts you off with one of each species, making you save money you earn from races to buy the rest that are available.


Louie’s and Tirra’s are what you ride to the finish line in Bomberman Fantasy Race! That’s right, instead of cars, the player uses one of two different animals to make their way to victory. Bank: Keep your money safe and sound here while you save up for your favorite race track, Tirra or Louie!.Stable: Buy different Louie’s and Tirra’s here to race with!.Time Attack: Practice on different tracks and race against your own shadow while trying to beat your own timed laps.Options: Typically settings for the game.VS Mode: The multiplayer mode of the game that you can play with family or friends in.1 Player: Unlocking Stages and earning money for your character by yourself in races.Here you have our main screen that consists of several different options, such as: Nearly every button has a use too, so take a race to figure out what the controls are or read up on it in the manual. I found this a little confusing, especially when I started my first race and didn’t really have any idea as to what I was doing. You have to figure out the rest of the controls yourself, or go to the options and configure your buttons to be the way that’s the most comfortable for you to play with. Now, if you wait at the start screen and don’t press any buttons, the game will bring you to the only tutorial in the game. I went with the main character Bomberman himself, entered my name, and started my fresh file. I decided to go with a fresh start for the sake of the review, where then the game let me pick a character to permanently play as and a name to create using 5 letters. When you start up the game, before you even get to the start menu, the game brings you to a screen where you can either load your data or make a new file. So I was hoping that my naive childhood self hadn’t tricked me into thinking this game was good when it may not actually be all that great. Usually games that I could never beat as a kid ended up being disasters when I played them years later (take the Rugrats games for example, oh god).

I never got very far in the game as a child since I didn’t really know what I was doing, which honestly worried me when I picked it back up as an adult.

Series that had nothing to do with cars in the first place suddenly had a racing game with their name on it such as the Jak series, the Crash Bandicoot series, Lego Racers, and the Bomberman series.īomberman Fantasy Race was honestly one of my favorite games a kid, so you can imagine my excitement when I got a hold of this forgotten racer.

The game is a spin-off of the Bomberman Series, and I personally haven’t met many people who have actually heard of this game. while Atlus released the game in North America, while Bomberman Fantasy Race was released by Virgin Interactive in Europe.
