BOOM BLOX, is the first game developed in collaboration between two giants of multimedia entertainment, Electronic Arts and director/producer, Steven Spielberg. Spielberg is obviously a master storyteller and so knows a thing or two about blockbusters, but he also no stranger to the gaming world. A long-time gamer himself, he conceived the original idea behind Lucas Art’s PC/Mac title The Dig, but busting these BLOX is an entirely new concept. Levels and Levels of Fun
A Puzzle/Action game inspired by Spielberg's own search for a game that he would enjoy playing with his own kids, BOOM BLOX is designed specifically with the strengths and versatility of the Wii in mind. In it players can look forward to a fast-paced gameplay blending the simplicity of the wildly popular block game Jenga and the crazy complexity of a Rube Goldberg machine--devices that although performing very simple tasks are designed to do it by the most complicated means possible.BOOM BLOX features over three hundred levels, a variety of activities, a cast of over thirty wacky characters, and an easy-to-use in-game editor that allows players to express their creativity. It’s visceral gameplay is perfectly suited for the Wii’s interactivity. The action gets going fast and the fun never ends as you throw baseballs, blast lasers, save wacky animal characters, explore cool worlds and more!... making it the ultimate Wii blox-buster for 2008.Features:- Throw, grab, and blast your way through 300+ levels - Use fun action gestures and crazy virtual tools (like bowling balls, baseballs and fire hoses) to destroy your way through over 300 brain-twisting challenges.
- Fast-paced Multiplayer Action - Fun for kids and the entire family, BOOM BLOX offers action-packed interactive activities that takes Wii play to a new level of creativity and fun with single player, co-op, and versus gameplay. Up to 4 players at once.
- Over 30 Wacky Characters set in 5 Unique Worlds - Tackle the action and interact with entertaining characters such as the Blox-laying chickens or the baseball throwing monkeys, who bring personality to the Tiki, Medieval, Frontier, and Haunted themed environments.
- Make It Your Own/Share – Unlock characters, worlds, blox, and props throughout the game and use to build whatever you can imagine in Create Mode. You can virtually build anything you can dream up. Remix any level and share what you create with friends via WiiConnect24TM.
Endless Play and Replay Combinations
Built upon a full real-time physics model, each player's BOOM BLOX experience can be as easy or difficult as you want it to be. Additionally, players can remix any level of the game in Create Mode using props, blocks, or characters that have been unlocked during the game. Players can also virtually build anything they can dream up. This makes for nearly endless play and replay options in what promises to be the latest must-have Wii title for the entire family. |

| I love this game. I got it this weekend & had a hard time putting it down. It's geared more towards kids; but it's fun anyway. The graphics are good-colorful. There's a wide variety of levels to keep you playing. The game itself is kinda like Jenga, with a twist-more variety of things to do than Jenga. You can shoot "bomb blocks" to get points, combine chemcial blocks for an explosion, etc. If you like puzzle games, pick it up. |
A thinking game

| This game is great for young & older children, the game helps them figure out puzzels. Uses their minds to make their own layout. This game keeps their mind working to get to more levels. I like it for my son who is 9 years old. It's great fun to learn the game and work the mind and have fun with it. Everytime time you use it, you can make it different. Not boring. |
A Great Time-filler

I have great childhood memories of playing Jenga in middle school, and carefully trying to work the blocks out so it didn't fall over. We all, of course, also have memories of playing with blocks, or Duck Hunt, or even carnival games- or just plain having fun taking a stack of something and bashing it over. Spielberg attempted to put these things all together in this game, and, it seems, did a pretty good job of it. He also managed to make an amusing and loose storyline to combine many of these activities, to which I applaud him!
This game is a delightful way to spend chunks of your time- it's really like Jenga and other games like that, where you simply set it up (turn on the Wii) and have a little fun, then put it up. It definitely exercises both your mind, and your skill with the controller, depending on the activity. It combines game elements from a variety of different genres- from Jenga, to blocks, to shooting, and a variety of strategic elements.
I say that this is a good "time filler" because it is fun in spurts, after the initial thrill. It can quickly get challenging at spots and frustrate you, then you can come back later to try again. Some parts require a lot of careful manuvering with the controller, and at times this can be frustrating since the smallest false move can ruin the game on some areas. As far as games go, this is not a game that I find keeps me playing for hours and hours on end- I'm not sure it is designed that way, though if it is, it fails for me. It's just fun to pull out, enjoy, then do other things. If you're looking for a long lasting, constant experience then you might want a more plot-centred and linear game: this is like a carnival game that keeps you energised and having fun for a bit, then you put it up and enjoy life, and later come back for some more. So I give this four out of five stars for fun, and as a whole- compared to games in genre, and based on my heavy RPG and adventure game background, I give this a three star rating. |
Awesome game.

| This game is going to be a super hit fun series for Nintendo Wii. This is another type of game you can only get on DS or Wii. Xbox 360, PS3 cannot deliver this kind of intense, involved gameplay. Over 300 levels, plus create your own levels and adventures, this game will keep your entertained for a long time to come. |
