SynopsisYou've left the Frontier behind and now the Medieval world unfolds around you. You pick your way through the halls of the castle with caution. With your trusty bowling ball in one hand and a fire hose in the other, you're ready for any challenge. You remember only too well how those chickens almost got the best of you last time. But wait, what's this? Monkeys have launched an attack and suddenly you're being pelted with baseballs. You dodge the baseballs and unleash the fire hose to give those sneaky monkeys a taste of real hydropower. Quickly you make your escape, but what awaits around the next corner?An entirely different world awaits you in Boom Blox ~ and there are actually five different worlds and no less than 300 levels. Brought to you in cooperation with renowned director and producer Steven Spielberg, Boom Blox is a creative thrill-ride filled with zany characters, mind-bending challenges and bizarre new places. Explore richly imagined environments, including, Tiki, Medieval and Haunted, and utilize crazy virtual tools ranging from fire hoses to lasers to blast your way through hundreds of exciting challenges. Encounter characters the likes of which you've never seen before, such as baseball-throwing monkeys and Blox-laying chickens. Make the game even wilder in Create mode, where you can unlock characters, worlds and props to build virtually anything you can dream up. In the thrill-a-minute settings of Boom Blox, the only limit is your own imagination.

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.
