Boom Blox (Wii) (Nintendo Wii Games)

Steven Spielberg's first foray into gaming

Hundreds of levels, fantastic user creation options, a real challenge for any gamer

Spielberg's first foray into the gaming world is a cracking puzzler, and one that all the family can enjoy

Spielberg's first foray into the gaming world is a cracking puzzler, and one that all the family can enjoy

When the collaboration between gaming juggernaut EA and renowned film director Steven Spielberg was announced, people were no doubt expecting something rather cinematic, and certainly not a very gamey puzzle game, of which Boom Blox just so happens to be.

This first collaboration of EA’s three game deal with Stephen Spielberg isn’t what one would have expected from this coming together of giants and some will perhaps be disappointed by this. To puzzle game fans, it will hardly matter though as Boom Blox...

This whole casual game business still pisses me off to some extent, as many companies don?t seem to understand what gamers want. You have all kinds of shovelware hitting the Wii every week, with most of them abominations that I would not wish on my...

Boom Blox is a game built for the Wii, not because of it. Unlike many other games on the platform it is hard to fathom playing without a Wiimote in your hand. If only for that reason alone it is a title that deserves attention, but thankfully there is...

EA. What a beast. The company, no, corporation, that brought us yearly updates to our favourite pastimes, including 'Badminton: Tuesday Edition 08' and 'Lacrosse: Bank Holidays May 04', a few 'Sims' games, the less appreciated Bond games and lots, lots...

Hold on – where on earth did this one come from? Sitting on my desk here in front of me is the rather colourful box for EA's latest Wii game Boom Blox, with lots of little exploding boxes and some pretty odd rectangular animals flying about left, right...

Steven Spielberg takes the term 'blockbuster' a little too literally

A great kids game. Teens and adults without children, however, may not find Boom Blox so entertaining.

You might not enjoy every single game type that Boom Blox offers, but most of them are a lot of fun, especially if you're playing with friends.

Spielberg debut Wii game is a blast

Like Jenga.. but good.

Great physics engine; Oodles of levels; Endless replay value with user created stages

Unless you don't have Nintendo Wi-Fi or friends with a copy; A non-friend level sharing community would have been nice; Controls can get fiddly for precise aiming; Some levels feel a bit samey
