Boom Blox is exactly that type of game. I only rented the game for 5 days but that was more than enough time to realize that it was just amazing, It actually made me stop playing Super Smash bros brawl, and Mario Kart Wii. The game may seem like a simple puzzle game that copies Jenga, but it is so much more than that. The game involves different types of blocks that are built into formations that you have to knock down, by pulling, pushing, placing, shooting, and throwing different "toys". But the puzzles are not just your basic block towers, they include different special blocks like bomb blox, which explode when hit, Chemical blox which explode when they touch one another, and cloud blox which will slowly rise up if not weighed down. Of course those are just 3 of the many different blox in the game. Adding to all that are the little block-ish creatures that run around and have different effects on puzzle. Beavers, for instance will detonate bomb blox, dogs will throw baseballs at other characters, and bears will steal gems. There are about 20 of these little characters and it's fun just to see them blow up. There are 3 main modes in Boom Blox, Single, party, and create. The singl player mode offers, training(which is self_explanatory), experiment which are increasingly chalanging puzzles that involve different blocks, and Adventure which is 4 stories with multiple epiosodes. The scenes that brake up these epidodes are just litteraly ryhmes, and the adventure mode itself just serves to unlock some very plentiful hidden goodies. Where Boom Blox really shines is it's multiplayer. Me and my family played into the wee hours of the night playing the game and they were hooked. The multiplayer is the best part of Boom Blox without a doubt. No matter what kind of game's your into, If you own a Wii then at least rent Boom Blox, and you will be in for a pleasant surprise.
Creating a Wii game that appeals to casual gamers is pretty simple. Just use the capabilities of the Wiimote in some silly way that will make people watching TV commercials automatically mesmerized by the "innovation" co... Read Full Review
This has to be the greatest, most original, creative and well developed Wii style game I have. It completely blows the crap out of Wii Sports, Mario Party 8 and all the other games the Wii stands for. The premise is s... Read Full Review
