Boom Blox

ethereal's Boom Blox (Wii) review

I like Jenga with Bombs

If you ever thought that playing Jenga with a Wii-Mote would be fun, then this is the game for you.  And thats only one of the numerous game modes available to you in Boom Blox.  With what I thought was going to be a glorified tech demo (and still kinda is) this is one of the best non Ninetendo releases to come out of the Wii thus far. 

Featuring cutesy animals and environments that basically serve as the silly reasons for the various physics simulations, I was constantly enchanted by the games that I was playing.  A hose that shoots bowling balls?!??! Awesome!!!  As fun as playing this game is by yourself, playing with a friend is always better. 

The multiplayer games are all Amazingly fun.  We have managed to make a series of drinking games out of in what we like to call Beer Blox (clever I know).  We got this game the same week as Mario Kart Wii and this is the game the we play much much more.  If you are looking for hours of fun then this game is a quality purchase.

The result, for better or worse, falls somewhere in between. Boom Blox should appeal to all players to some extent, but might not offer quite enough depth to keep everyone coming back for more.Boom Blox's bi...

The Good – Fast paced action of the hack-n-slash variety that’s easy to pick up. God of War like in it’s approach to gameplay, which is a good thing. Fun moves and combos with a leveling system that gets deeper as you go along. Graphics based on Unreal Engine 3, Wolvie himself looks slick, it captures Hugh Jackman perfectly. Wolverine’s healing effect from the X-Men movies are rendered here perfectly, as Wolvie is shot, blown up, etc…you’ll see his insides and adamantium covered bones in all sor...
