Boom Blox
BOOM BLOX™, the first game developed in collaboration between EA and director and producer, Steven Spielberg, is a high-energy game featuring 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. BOOM BLOX’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!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

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.

- 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.

5 Stars Fun Family game
This game was alot of fun and very challenging. Its a great game for all age groups. I just wish it had alot more 3-4 player levels. I havent got the newer version yet I hope its as fun if not more.
5 Stars You will thank yourself if you buy this game.
I played this game at a friend’s house when I was on vacation and loved it so much that I bought it the first week I was home.
5 Stars BEST GAME EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My sister’s friend came to our house today and brought this game.I did not play it for long but I tried all the modes and this game was one of my favorite games ever.If you read the one star review do not listen to it.The speed and strength of when you throw does not effect the game.You can throw as weak or strong as you like and the game would still work.There are three kinds of levels and I think that people of all ages would enjoy this game.
4 Stars Sleeper hit…one of the best “anyone can play’ Wii games
Boom bloxs is Zany!
The backgrounds are strange and the pace of the game is quick and filled with short vinyets. But, if you unlock all the game modes it turns boom blocks into one of the best party games I’ve ever played. Some of the 4 player simultaneous modes are super fun. In some modes its a 4 players vs the computer and in some its 4 against each other (and every game mode in between). The did make a second game and I will get that one too, I think the second game has the party mode more in the forefront. Boom blocks is a must have for anyone that likes puzzles and goofy fun for all ages and abilities.
5 Stars Best Game For The Wii
It doesn’t get any better. This game is one of the best if not the best game for Wii. You have more fun with this game then any other I can think of. Its not only great for kids its even more fun for adults. It is well worth the price - trust me, you will not be disappointed. Its outrageous fun destroying things and just playing this game period.
