EA Games and Steven Spielberg have collaborated on this Wii game coming this summer 2008 (via ThisNext Blog)

I just tried this game for the first time last weekend, and I really enjoyed it. Think of bizarro jenga, where you try to knock over as many blox as possible. The game gives you the ability to edit and create your own levels too.

When we finally were able to get my wii up and running after several months, one of the first games I wanted to try was Boom Blox, a game by none other than Spielberg himself. Story goes that Spielberg had to come up with a game soon after playing the Wii himself.

Well its not Star Wars or other super hi-tech, movie-driven game full of cinematics and in-depth plot. So don't expect that. What it is, is a super fun-filled, family game that myself and my 3 boys have had hours of fun with.

In a nutshell, you build or create towers of blocks, and then.. you demolish them! But that is only the game in a nutshell. Within that simple idea is a huge amount of different ways to do those things, including thowing things at the blocks from baseballs to bowling balls, shooting them with a hose or even a gun, and even a "jenga-like" game where you have to carefully grab blocks and NOT make the tower fall!

My review in no way does the game justice. Need time away from the zombies and perhaps something your kids CAN play with you? This may be another of those games, without being too simple even for the adults.

A fun wii game.

FAMILY: I played this with a group of friends and its a lot of fun. It could easily be a drinking game, but its a great game sober too.

Steven Spielberg must know a good game system when he sees it because he picked the Wii and EA to create his puzzle game Boom Blox. From the early reviews, it seems quite fun. This is perfect for anyone who likes easy to pick up, fast paced thinking games, with average to sub par graphics. In other words, anyone who owns (and uses) the Wii!!!
