Ultra provides a solid multiplayer experience -- which is good, because there isn't much incentive to play the game alone. Up to four players can crowd around one PlayStation 3 locally, or a total of eight can get in a game online. There is a dizzying array of options available to customize your experience, from levels to items to rules. Each of the 14 arenas has its own gimmicks and obstacles. Lost World contains quicksand pits, for instance, and Ghost Town is full of trap doors. Players will randomly find Costume Balls while playing a local game. Grabbing these will unlock new parts and accessories you can use to customize your Bomberman. There is a good amount of content here.

my take.
if you are one of the one console types you missed out on one of the fun breakout games for the 360. now you can download the game and up to 8 of us can play
i dont know about chat but if you have ever played bomber man playing online with freinds and in random rooms is a blast. I liekd playing it on the 360 and
was happy to see them put it out for the ps3 owner. its very retro but still a ton of fun
if any of you get it just post and we can see if we can clan only and clan sponsor some hosts :-)
you are forced to play and collect items on the one sided deal to open up costumes. this still makes no sense but that would be the downside to me
