BOOM BLOX™

Boom Blox - the next block buster on wii?

This high profile production from EA and Spielberg releases on May 6th 2008. Spielberg is an avid gamer who has overseen Boom Blox's development from start to finish. “I am a gamer myself, and I really wanted to create a video game that I could play with my kids,” said Steven Spielberg. “BOOM BLOX features an enormous amount of fun challenges and cool scenarios for your kids to solve or for you to master together.”

Boom Blox features multiple levels ( over 300) and is the first of 3 games being launched by Spielberg and EA. It can be played in single player, co-op, and versus gameplay.

They can interact with entertaining characters such as the Blox-laying chickens or the baseball throwing monkeys, who bring personality to the Tiki, Medieval, Frontier, and Haunted themed environments. Additionally, players can remix any level of the game in Create Mode using props, blocks, or characters that have been unlocked during the game. Players can also virtually build anything they can dream up. Plus, their designs can then be shared with friends or used to challenge others to solve their newly created puzzle via WiiConnect24™.

Speaking to VideoGamer.com Amir Rahimi, senior producer on Boom Blox, said that once the Wii version of the game is finished "there's definitely the possibility of going to other consoles".

BOOM BLOX is also in production for mobile phones. In the mobile game, players will be able to create custom levels and share them with their friends directly from the phone enjoying an interactive community experience.
