Preface -
People often ask me, "hey, Amir0x, do you think any concept for Wii is good? I mean you sure do have a lot of bitterness!" That's true, a lot of things suck. But while everyone is trying to justify their poorly implemented waggle PS2 ports like Godfather and Okami, I sit back and wait for those developers who actually get the strengths of the platform - what strengths there are, anyway.
Before anyone says it, this game is nothing like JENGA. If you say it is like JENGA, I am going to fucking ban you for eighty nine weeks. Because if you are so dumb that you make such shitty comparisons, then clearly we can't expect you to add much to this thread.
What -
Boom Blox is like everything that is cool with being a kid, but with explosions. It's a full, ground-up wiimote concept, alluringly simple to learn, deceptively complicated to master - the sort of concept you're likely to get addicted to and stuck on for months.
Basically for the standard levels provided to you, there are lots of different blocks of varying color, weight and density. Your goal is to clear the stage of all the blocks. You may grab, blow them up or shoot at them with various objects to try to set off chain reactions which will, depending on your cleverness, get rid of things quicker. The game accurately measures the power you use for your throws and whatnot, which impacts precisely what type of damage you'll do. It's all very physics-heavy, and the result is lots of controlled chaos for a puzzle game.
This game has a pleasant art style that doesn't try too hard, it uses the remote in a simple yet effective manner which clearly couldn't be replicated on another system in any serious fashion, and doesn't act like the player is two years old and has the hand-eye coordination of a sloth.
What more can you ask for?
Well, LEVEL CREATION of course. This is like building blocks as a kid, only instead of pretending your godzilla stomping around to the feeble villagers discontent, you'll be tossing shit around to fuck with things. Good stuff.
