My wife and I just had our 4th son and we were up playing Wii while she fed him...we ended up playing this game for 3hrs after the baby fell asleep! It's so easy to get into and the action and sounds affects are just awesome! This game is great for all ages. Make sure you have 4 Wii remotes and plenty of time before sitting down to play this game. Thank you Spielberg!
What's great about it: Uses all possible motions of the Wii Remote and has great multiplayer modes.
What's not so great: Some of the "grabbing" may be a little sensitive, but you get better at it :)
I would recommend this to a friend!

This game is pretty entertaining. It's actually one of the better games for the Wii. There's a lot of different modes for this game and the game can be difficult at times. It's more of a thinking game but at the same time, it is exciting. I definitely would recommend this game for any age.
What's great about it: It's an awesome game to play
What's not so great: None
I would recommend this to a friend!

I purchased this game a few days ago and first time I played spent over 2 hours training and playing levels. That night, my husband and I played multi player mode for up to 3 hours!!! You don't realize the time passing, game is great, found multi player mode to be better! Great use of Wii controller in this game, highly recommended.
What's great about it: Excellent game play and use of Wii controller
What's not so great: Characters in game are silly, but fun
I would recommend this to a friend!

This game is fun for the first 30 minutes. After that, it gets very, very boring. Part of the problem is that there's no challenge to this game at all. Two hours of game play was all I needed to completely dominate the product.
The music is annoying, many of the puzzles are annoying and your level of interaction with the puzzles is often... problematic. After the first few minutes, targeting and abusing the little annoying animals who surround the puzzle will prove to be a better use of your time than actually addressing the puzzle.
Once the novelty has worn off (and it does wear off quickly), you'll realize that getting your teeth cleaned and donating blood are far more fun than playing this game.
Truly very disappointing given the hype.
What's great about it: It works
What's not so great: Zero replay value
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Boom Blox Rocks!

It may look cute and fuzzy on the outside, but don't let that fool you. At its core, this game is about one thing: destruction. EA and Steven Spielberg have created an addictive simulated-destruction-puzzle-game with a realistic physics system of building and destroying puzzles/levels populated by odd but cute block-style animals.
The goal of the game is to get through the 300 levels of blocks, stacked in many shapes and configurations, with the least number of moves/throws or most number of points possible. The blocks come in a variety of shapes, sizes and types, each with its own unique properties. Using the Wiimote, you grab, shoot, and push the stacks of blocks to cause them to collapse. And depending on the types of blocks available, you can set off massive chain reactions or throwing a variety of different items at them.
Chad and I have nearly completed the multiplayer co-op mode and I’ve been spending some time on the single player modes, here are our impressions.
Gameplay:
The very realistic Havok physics engine makes Boom Blox especially fun. Blocks react to being hit and towers fall as they would in the real world. Blocks react the way you think they would. And the explosions and topplings are satisfying. But this game isn’t without a few relatively minor problems:
"Too-small" blocks: Several of the co-op levels are shooter levels where you and your friend(s) need to shoot blocks hurling across the screen, a problem is that some of the blocks are so small it’s virtually impossible to hit them. There’s another level where you have to pick up these small blocks, we fared better.
Jenga-esque puzzles/levels: Here EA and Spielberg have taken two elements of Jenga and separated them out –the pulling of pieces out of a tower and the building of a tower from pieces. Pulling pieces out can be really awkward, especially if you try to pull towards or push away from you, what we found works best is to rotate the camera so you primarily pull pieces sideways, giving a greater level of control. Stacking is pretty tough because of finite camera rotation and the inability to zoom in –imagine playing Jenga with backward binoculars and oddly shaped pieces. Still, we found these levels fun and challenging and enjoyed playing them.
"Hold on to yer [Wiimotes]": We can’t stress enough when playing Boom Blox you need to make sure to secure the Wiimote’s wrist-strap, using the rubber Wiimote jackets (covers) helps too –personally I really like the one that comes with Wiimotes now. We found ourselves making hard throws that had our Wiimotes slipped, something (e.g. TV, window, or wall) would have been damaged.
Graphics:
The game’s visual design is fantastic! From the crazy little varmints populating the levels to the backgrounds and themes (Tiki Island, Medieval Forest, Wild West Town, and Haunted House) everything is top notch.
Sound:
The sounds of blocks scraping and hitting each other and the ground are a big part of what makes this game so fun, you almost feel like you’re interacting with real materials. The animals populating the game (either as spectators or actors) making noises and the soundtrack really add to the world created in the game.
Replayability:
The overall 300+ puzzles/levels (not to mention the desire to achieve gold status for each) will definitely keep you busy for a long time. In addition to several single-player modes including a single-player campaign that includes a little bit of story and short animated scenes, Boom Blox features co-op and competitive multiplayer gameplay (in single and split-screen modes) alongside various mini-game activities. There’s also an in-game level editor where you can create from scratch or remix any puzzle from the game and then share with your friends via the WiiConnect24 service.
What's great about it: Great physics and control!
What's not so great: One level has blocks flying through the air that are too difficult to shoot with.
I would recommend this to a friend!

We have spent so many evenings as a family playing this one together. It takes a lot of strategy to ensure you don't leave a juicy block for the next player to hit. Even the 7 year old picked this one up in no time. There is tons of replay value in this for multiplayer, but very little for single player mode.
What's great about it: Really fun multiplayer game
What's not so great: single player does not hold your attention long
I would recommend this to a friend!
