Reception

Bomberman Kart DX

Bomberman Kart DX is a redesigned version with improved graphics, new tracks, new racing modes and extras: manga artworks, a customizable traditional 4-player bomberman game and a 2-player co-op dungeon crawling adventure. The DX version removed the 4-player GP racing option and local multiplayer in this mode is now limited to 2 players. It also features downloadable content expansion packs adding more races (the PS2 HDD and Network Adaptor are required).
