Pretty engaging game, just the right level of difficulty. The different block styles combined with the different ball types make for a lot of interesting physics to explore. The controls are not always the most responsive, especially if a second shot needs to be made within a narrow time window -- the crosshairs sometimes get "stuck" on the first target and eat up time needed to reposition. But all in all, a good and engaging game that gives my arm a workout. :)

Boom Blox is similar to various other Wii games in that it is a series of short "levels" where the player has to solve a puzzle. Many Wii games (Raving Rabbids, WarioWare, etc) rely mostly on rapid movements of the Wiimote, while Boom Blox us much more about problem solving and finer controls. Many of the puzzles are roughly similar to the real-life game of Jenga, only much more complex. Others involve throwing a ball at just the right speed and angle to knock down structures made from blocks. The game apparently has 300 unique puzzles that involve a variety of skills, so I think its going to be a while before this game gets old. The Wiimote interface is really easy to use and makes the game more fun to play. The characters are cute and the sound effects are fun, I've wound up laughing out loud several times during the game. Single and multi-player gameplay is good - I've spent a few hours playing Boom Blox by myself and with my girlfriend and it's a lot of fun either way. I haven't tried the level creator / editor functionality yet, but I'll look forward to using it after I've finished most of the core levels.Read full review

To be honest, I do not own a Wii, but I did play Boom Blox a number of months ago on someone else's and absolutely fell in love with it. I am a huge fan of puzzle games, and am still confused as to why Boom Blox never caught on as a big hit. It is really a simple formula... towers of blocks, akin to Jenga are stacked in the playing field (not all are Jengaesque, there are some great variations). There are myriad balls, ropes and guns with which to throw, pull and shoot blocks from the tower(s), causing them to fall. For each block that you remove from the stack, you get points. Structural integrity comes into play when you remove key structural pieces, causing the tower (or wall) to topple, racking up massive points for well executed moves. There are even opportunuities to topple one tower into another, knocking them both over. Single player is fun, and, as with most games, is where you unlock new playing fields and characters. However, Boom Blox is a multi-player game at its core. The single player game has you trying to topple the towers with as few moves as possible, but multi-player is a bit more involved... removing a key piece only sets your opponent up for massive points if you don't get it right... so each move needs to be thought out so as not to weaken the structure enough to set your opponent up to knock it down... and in this regard, the more players the better. Graphics are crisp and clean for the Wii, and some of the music tracks are so catchy that I find them going through my head days after playing. Control is intuitive if you are used to motion controllers... rotate the structure on 2 axis, and use a throwing motion to hurl virtual balls... pretty straight forward, and feels very natural. I bought this game as a gift for a friend knowing that I will get to play without having to get a Wii myself. She is now hooked on it herself. Two thumbs up, highly reccomended title (if you can find a copy at a reasonable price.. it was a limited run and can be either scarce or expensive... luckily I found a copy for under twenty bucks, but I have seen them go for as high as fifty or sixty)Read full review
