Boom Blox is fun for the whole family!

I'm not going to go into too many details, other than Spielberg has nailed how fun it is to stack and destroy piles of blocks, and you never have to clean up the mess! The throwing mechanics are perfect, and the game does a fantastic job of utilizing the Havok physics engine, so everything you see feels genuine.

On top of the ability to topple blocks or optionally pulling them down with a hand, the game also throws in a few twists that you wouldn't be able to do in the real world. Some blocks, when struck, will disappear entirely, others will explode on contact with a sublimely satisfying chaotic response to follow. Oh yeah, many of us lack the ability to throw a sixteen pound bowling ball overhand with any sense of force, too, so this game can kind of make you feel like Superman in that regard.

There are tons of play modes and pre-set puzzles, but the fun never really ends when you tap into the level creator. It is here you can alter any pre-set puzzle as you see fit (throw in some explosives- they're always a good solution to a frustrating puzzle!) OR you can create your own twisted puzzles from scratch. You can even share them online with your friends.

Oh, and did I mention it becomes even more fun when you've got three additional people to share it with? The multiplayer aspect of the game is where it truly shines. Once you've shown them the simple mechanics of the game, the hours following will whiz right on by! It would still be a game worth recommending if multiplayer was the only way it could be played!

Did I mention this game was fun? Pick up Boom Blox; its a fantastic game with enough intuitive play that anybody from 3 to 103 can play, and it has enough of a challenge (going for all gold medals in the single player modes will keep you busy for weeks, if not months) that the hardcore gamers out there will find plenty to enjoy!

best muti-generational game for gamers and non-gamers ever.

With the exception of the shooting mode, this is a perfect game.
Much of the game is turned-based, so for many games you can share a single controler for 4 people. The turned based portion of the game enables very young and very old players to compete with even hard-core gamers and still have fun(and hard core gamers can enjoy the game also).
It is great to have a game that I can play with my 78y/o father and my 5y/o son.
It works because anyone can smash blocks, and everyone thinks they can do it well, but those with better skills can take the game to a higher level.

I usually don't leave comments but I had to for this one.

I have enjoyed Mario Kart Wii, Wii Fit, Endless Ocean, and Wii Sports. I don't know about this one. I just bought it today an I play a good 3 hours. I have mixed feelings about this one. I like games that make you think but this is a strange game. I was very excited by all the good reviews but I didn't have as much fun playing this Bloom Box as I have with other I named above.

Although I would play this game again some other day I don't look forward to play it as much as Mario Kart. It is a slower game that takes time. It gives me the feeling like I am playing Solitare. Listen, if you are thinking about getting this game I suggest you spend the 5 bucks and rent it before buying. I agree with the other guy/gal that said that this game should have been priced at 20 bucks.

I am giving it 4 stars because I do think that this game is very original. It is will made! Also, I believe it has potential as a 2 player game.

Impatient when it's not MY turn!!

This game is highly addictive- my whole family enjoys playing. We need to get more controllers, in fact, so we can have four people compete!!! I get very impatient when it's not my turn, or when my dad is hogging it!! I love the challenge of getting a gold medal and will play the level again and again until I can knock everything down with 1 ball!

The only downside is that my pre-existing shoulder injury acts up if I throw too hard. It's not necessary to throw as hard as my dad, tho!! :)

Fun fo all ages

I never, EVER write reviews for the many things I've purchased at Amazon, but I just HAD to post one about Boom Blox. My 4-year old son, 8-year old niece, me (35) and my 56 year-old mom all got sucked into this game!!! There's something for everyone--throwing, jenga-type block grabbing, shooting, attacking....no frustrating techniques required here, it's just all about fun! I purchased this game based on all the reviews on here, and I want to thank everyone because I am beyond thrilled with this purchase! The only con is my hopeless addiction!!! Get this one--you WILL NOT be disappointed!!!!
