The classic 16-bit video game, BOMBERMAN, will be re-imagined by Konami for the Xbox 360. The game will be called BOMBERMAN: ACT ZERO and feature armored battle suits, cybernetic warriors and a new multiplayer mode.

The game takes place on a desolate and apocalyptic Earth, where humans must wear armored suits and battle in bombing mazes against each other. Players can fight for survival through the single-player game's 99 levels or face off online with up to eight players in multiplayer matches.

"There's a lot of variety in Bomberman, from a great single-player campaign to plenty of online action," Kit Ellis, a spokesperson for Konami said. "You can play in third person or in FPBââ'¬â'first person bomber'ââ'¬âthrough the single-player campaign, and the online game should be a big hit on Xbox Live."

Konami includes a no-save ability in the 99-level mode. Players can collect lives, but if players die, even on level 99, they'll have to start at the very beginning again.

The game should be released this summer.
