From the Stiq of Joy. Maybe not the most reliable source ever, but given that Johnny Lee has also confirmed it I'm saying this is "true".
Stupid EA.By the way, I don't know if anyone else has checked out the Boom Blox website, it has a couple of nifty trailers and some explanation of blocks and characters. Nothing amazing, but when you're as hyped as me... well, I've looked at everything there is to look at for this game :lol

Awesome stuff, I love that you can use all those characters, and that they all have their own behaviour regarding other characters or their surroundings, that opens up a lot of possibilites. You can just throw them in and see what happens.

Quote from that interview:
What the hell?
Wut ?
Even if true, then the head tracking functionnality in Bloom Blox doesn't even qualify as "having the player move too much".
Playing WiiFit is more of a workout than moving around slowly to see what's happening in the corners of the field.
I sincerely hope they left it in and some Action Replay / stuff like that can let access to it.
You know, like hot coffee, only without the scandal.

So nintendo is asking developers to cut back on extraneous waggle? I support this. God bless them. I like motion control as long as Im not throwing my shoulder out or getting wrist fatique. (Battle of the bands is quilty of this)
IGN Voice Chat confirmed that the reviews are embargoed until tomorrow :-\ So, yeah...
How could you support that? If it's implemented well, then I would support exaggerated movements.
Edit: And a Game l Life episode.

I think it would be nice to have the choice. I already have Popeye wrists from playing with my Wii so much.EmCeeGramr said:

Hopefully my copy shows up tomorrow. I'm not even sure what to expect from the game. I just thought the screens I've seen so far looked good.

Read the review. Seems like a good game. Have to much to play right now but will pick this up later on.
Creating your own levels seems alot of fun.

It is also about balls. You toss them at the blocks. You won't get far in this game if you don't have balls.sp0rsk said:

Here's my review: the game is incredibly mind blowing until you have to throw bombs at raccoons or hit a block with a hose and you start to wonder if the rest of the game was just a fluke with design decisions like this.
I still like the early levels though.
eznark said:
Well depending where you are it's either early or very early in North America, where most of the videogame press is at. Plus, this is hardly a huge, established game that sites are going to be rushing the review out for.
We do need confirmation on the SD card stuff though, dammit!
And some of you will no doubt be playing this today
I hate you.I've written the first impressions for Pulsa Start (in spanish). Here they are: http://www.pulsastart.es/2008/05/bloom-blox-primeras-impresiones/
Summary:
- EA+steven spielberg in a videogame doesn't mean shit, for once. ALl the opposite, it's a very creative concept.
- Diferent modes and gameplay variants.
- Some levels have you pulling blocks, other have you trying to tear down all the blocks with the minimun shots. Other have you trying to tear down selected blocks.
- Controls work very well. Only complaints are the super sensitive pointer and thnot being able to zoom in and out.
- Modes are different too. Adventiure and arcade modes look the same at first glance, but they're played diferently.
- Editor mode works great, although the sharing system is quite limited.
- Overall it feels good and fresh. It looks like it will be a quality title in the end.

yeah, get past them. as i said, they're the low point, but they're not totally insufferable, are they? should be easily enough to beat and move on.
rocksolidaudio said:
Not insufferable, just dampened by enjoyment considerably. After an amazing high from collapsing structures by hitting week foundation points ("This is the most important thing for children to play since LEGO!" I said), to got to hitting raccoons in the face with a bomb, I was a little defeated.
But I shall continue!
