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

Boom Blox Reviews
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.
Simply put, this is one of the best Wii games ever made. It's fantastic fun, very interactive, and hugely popular with everyone I've showed it to.

I played this game at a friends house and loved it! the reason it was so great was that even though I had never played befor I was still able to quickly catch on and even beat him sometimes. This is great because you can enjoy it with anyone young, old, experienced or inexperienced!
p.s. I wrote this review on the wii internet channel
Consider Jenga with more towers, exploding blocks, modes to destroy in fewest throws of a ball or pull down without knocking off certain objects or negative point blocks. It is good to play with someone else too. There is one really boring mode where you throw a ball at blocks going by. I recommend skipping that and going straight to knocking stuff down or carefully pulling blocks. This is fun to play with my wife, especially to work together cooperatively.
It isn't a deep game. Many 4-star games offer a lot more than this one. But you have to rate the game for what it is and among its genre of casual games. It is more fun than playing Jenga.
You may think this game is childish (and goofy), but dude! Its fun and hard to put down. How can't you go wrong with throwing bowling balls, bombs-balls, etc. at blocks! This game is great fun for everyone.
