 Fun Puzzle Game - Like a Shooting Gallery and Jenga Combined June 11, 2008
If you like puzzle games, you'll love this. Knock down 'Jenga" type towers by throwing stuff at them-- bowling balls, baseballs, etc. Different kinds of blocks on the tower make it even better- bomb blocks, chemical blocks which explode when they touch other similar blocks...
This game is lots of fun for both people playing alone as well as with somebody else. A good mix of "thinking" and action.
Worth $50. A great "wii experience" that can't be duplicated with a joystick console.

I bought this item as a gift for my grandson. I know nothing about it. I just wrapped it up and gave it to him for his birthday present.
Great puzzle game for Wii June 9, 2008

Just rented this game and had to buy it asap. Engaging and addictive game that makes great use of the Wii mote capabilities. Physics engine is amazing. Speaking of which, this means the game would likely be frustrating for kids younger than elementary school age. Not often you get a game that a middle age mom and hardcore gaming kids can all enjoy.
 Easier & Harder than it looks June 4, 2008

The concept is easy, the execution starts easy... then gets harder. Good puzzles. Very rewarding when you finally solve a new level. I love this game.
There is a learning curve. The only problem is that it's hard to share with someone new to Wii.
 Boom Blox disappoints June 2, 2008
6 out of 22 found this review helpful
After all the hype I had high hopes for this game. The concept has a lot of potential, and the capability to create and share your own levels looks great on the box cover. However, the reality I found was that levels I created lack the one interaction that makes the built-in levels fun at all -- that the gem blox explode and disappear when you knock them over. I spent hours trying to figure out how to make this happen for my levels before giving up and accepting that it isn't supported. The built-in levels are fun, but there is way too much out-of-game experience (time spent in menus and scoreboards instead of knocking down blox). Also, I had hoped to play this game with my daughter (4yo), but the interaction with the Wii remote was too involved and frustrating for her even though it looks like its targeted for her demographic (and she is able to play most of the games in WiiSports). Last of all, the much hyped head-tracking easter egg was cut in the final product. This feature was the reason I originally heard about the game (on Johnny Chung Lee's blog), and was a major interest for me in purchasing it. I didn't discover until after I brought it home, and after playing the game for a few days that this easter egg was not included in the final product. Overall, very disappointing. Definitely not worth $60. Maybe worth $30 if the price comes down that far.
