Created specifically for Xbox LIVE Arcade, the all-new "Bomberman Live" delivers social gaming excitement with high definition graphics, four-person local multiplayer and eight-person online multiplayer over Xbox LIVE. And to show there is no Bomberman out there quite like yours, players now have over 10,000 unique ways to fully customize their Bomberman.

In "Bomberman Live," players guide their unique Bomberman around a grid-like arena, avoiding opponents and their bombs while attempting to bomb the competition. "Bomberman Live" features eight multiplayer arenas including Lost World, where players can sink in puddles of quicksand, and Ghost Town, where players can fall into trap doors. By destroying blocks, players can reveal 16 different power-ups (and power-downs!) from the simple "Speed Up" to the devastating "Dangerous Bomb."

Here are just some of the many improvements players can expect to see:

• Costumes come correct: If users have Bomb-Up Pack 2, but not Bomb-Up Pack 1, costume changes now save correctly.
• Less waiting between matches: The in-between match timer has been reduced to 20 seconds and is now visible to users.
• No more power-up lag: Previously, due to network lag, some power-ups that had already been picked up by one user remained on the ground on another user's screen. This is no longer the case.
• Know what you're getting yourself into: Users can now preview match settings from the game lobby.
• Brag for a minute: Online end of match screens now show gamerpics instead of Bomberman heads. There's also a timer of 60 seconds for the winner to brag.
• 1 bomb + 1 bomb = dangerous bomb: Kicking two bombs together now makes dangerous bombs more often.
• Over six figures of bombing: Leaderboards now show numbers beyond 100,000.
• Plunder some more: Scavenger can now be turned on for the "Plunder Isle" level.
