  • Summary: Boom Blox is the first game developed in collaboration between EA and director and producer, Steven Spielberg. This high-energy game 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. 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. Players can explore the visceral gameplay—perfectly suited for the Wii’s interactivity—that keeps them destroying their way through brain-twisting challenges. They can 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. 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. Plus, their designs can then be shared with friends or used to challenge others to solve their newly created puzzle via WiiConnect24.

  1. BOOM BLOX is so simple and its appeal so universal that we're hard pressed to think of another Wii game that can so effectively bring a room together... [it's] one of the most gratifying jump-in-and-play games you can get on the Nintendo Wii.

    Boom Blox delivers so much content, that it would be hard not to find something to love in this title. Give it a try. What looks to be rather simple is actually complex and will keep you playing for hours.
  3. Brilliant, but is it down to Spielberg's influence? Give us more to find out. [July 2008, p.74]
  4. Tries to cram WAY too many styles in, but multiplayer is tops.

    Both me and my 8-year old (and all his friends!) really enjoy this game and have already spent many hours playing.

    I went to rent this game and they were all like "ew what's that." And I was like it sounds cool I'm renting it. Then we got home and we started playing and then a little while later they was like "Boom Box is cool ya, I like this game". We liked this game thoroughly. Rented it for 5 days and played it every day. We will buy this game in the future. Thought the controls worked well, but the shooting was a bit hard, but not impossible. Very fun single and multiplayer game. Expand
