Boom Boom Rocket is a Xbox Live Marketplace rythm game, where the goal is to blow up fireworks over a city in tune with techno/trance music inspired by classical scores.

Blow 'em up!

Boom Boom Rocket is is the first rythm game released on the Xbox LIVE Marketplace. The object of the game is to make ascending rockets explode as they pass through a marker line on the screen - more or less like Dance Dance Revolution or an inverted Guitar Hero. The main difference is that you actually do not "play" a separated guitar track as you do in Guitar Hero or Rock Band instead you are blowing up rockets in time with the music. The rockets have four different colours - one for each face button on the Xbox 360 controller.

Controllers

Due to the success of Guitar Hero, Dance Dance Revolution and other rythm games, the developers decided to make some of the peripherals compatible with the game.

Guitar

Playing with the guitar peripheral is just like playing Guitar Hero: you hold the fret buttons down and strum when you want them to explode.

Drum Kit

The Rock Band drum set is also compatible. This actually enhances the gameplay, since hitting drumpads feels more like blowing things up than strumming on a guitar. However, the drum set takes some getting used to, since the order of the colours on the drum set doesn't match the in-game order.

Dance Mat

When using the DDR Universe dance mat, all rockets have arrows on them, which correspond with the dance mat panels. When a rocket crosses the marker line you step on the appropriate dance mat panel to make it explode.

Tracklist

The game currently features fifteen tracks, five of which were added through DLC. Each track is a remixed classical song to make it sound more modern with styles such as ska, funk and trance. The music was composed by Ian Livingstone, famous for the soundtracks of Batman Returns and Project Gotham Racing 2.

These are the original ten songs that came with the game:

Smooth Operetta
Rave New World
William Tell Overload
Hall of the Mountain Dude
1812 Overdrive
Valkyries Rising
Tall Light Sonata
Carmen Electric
Game Over Beethoven

On November 30th, 2007 five new tracks were added as part of the DLC pack called Rock Pack, which was free for a limited time. It now costs 250 points. These are the tracks that are in the pack:

Sting of the Bumble Bee
Explode to Joy
