Gameplay edit
The gameplay follows the traditional Bomberman gameplay. Players must use bombs to blow up and defeat other players. The players must blow up bricks that stand in the way to make way to access other players. Blowing up bricks will give power ups such as increased speed or blast length. The last person standing in each round is the winner. If no players remain, a draw is declared.
Multiplayer edit
Bomberman Live: Battlefest includes up to eight people online along with teams. It has several modes and power ups, arenas, as well as Xbox Live Arcade Avatar support.
