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.

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. Explore the visceral gameplay - perfectly suited for the Wii's interactivity - that keeps you destroying your way through brain-twisting challenges. 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, remix any level of the game in Create Mode using props, blocks, or characters that have been unlocked during the game. You can virtually build anything you can dream up. Plus, your designs can then be shared with friends or used to challenge others to solve your newly created puzzle via WiiConnect24.

Not usually into puzzle games. Got this as for some reason i thought it was wi-fi compatible, and multi-player with friends would be great fun.

Was initially dissapointed when i saw it wasn't upon opening. But after what was supposed to be a quick go, that turned into a few hours. I was over-joyed.

A highly enjoyable game. Simple, yet mega-addictive. Controls feel good, especially using the "grab and pull" function. Expect a sore arm from the throwing though. But everytime that happens, i just switch to some "grab and pull", or later unlockable levels, using things such a "water hose" and "laser", which require, just a point and click.

Havn't taken this gane out of the Wii since it got here a week ago. Brawl, Mario Kart, BW2 have all been side-lined. By this, in modern terms, simple, yet brilliantly visualised, and implemented game. So much fun, you won't want to put it down.

Gets 5 *'s from me. Buy it now!

Customer rating: 4 out of 5 stars Good Fun (most of the time)

On the surface this is Jenga, with some cartoon story to move proceedings along. However, only about 1/5th of the game is directly like Jenga; most of the time you're shooting or making blocks explode, helping characters along paths, or preventing other characters destroying your towers, taking your gems or killing your friends. As for the characters themselves, I found them rather cute - a lot has been said about the annoying names and awful script, but it's not really that distracting. The only problem I had with the game is that sometimes the aiming will stick, requiring a shake of the controller and a jab of the buttons - which can prove annoying, especially during a timed level.

Customer rating: 4 out of 5 stars Quite Good

This game isnt exactly fantastic but it seems quite fun for a puzzle game. Im sure Steven Speilburg could of done something a little bit better than this though.Dont get me wrong it is quite a decent game.
