Addictive - Boom Blox Wii

Just woke up from a five hour session of multiplayer Boom Blox, the Speilberg creation published by EA games for the Wii. This is one awesome addictive game for the whole family. When I first saw the preview I thought it looked real boring. It showed someone makng a structure and then knocking it down. Little did I know that this was a demo of the create your own puzzle section of the game which is only a small portion of the game play.

Boom Blox has a multitude of ways to play which gives the game longevity. The initial single player game is a tutorial which is still a challenge in itself. In this level you have to knock Gems to the floor in the least amount of throws. Talking of throws... the Wii controls for this game are used to their full potential. The strength of your throw is determined by the speed of the Wii remote movement just like Wii Sports. In some levels you grab blocks to pull them out and your objectives are either to make the structure fall or not make the structure fall depending on the rules of that level. The pull out tool is very sensitive and accurate.

Other objectives are point based like knocking blocks with points on them to the ground and scoring that amount of points. You try to get the highest amount of points with limited attacks. Once again the plethora of combinations of game play to gain points is huge.
To do a full review of this game I would have trouble keeping it under 2000 words, there is just so much too it. Go out and get it, you won't be sorry.
