EA and Steven Spielberg Confirm ‘BOOM BLOX’ for Wii

EA and Steven Spielberg have confirmed that BOOM BLOX, a 300-level puzzle game for Wii, will be available in May. They plan on showcasing their latest collaboration at the Game Developers Conference which will be held in San Francisco February 18 – 22.The title will feature over 30 “wacky characters” with block-laying chickens and baseball-throwing monkeys within four different themed environments called Frontier, Haunted, Medieval and Tiki.

“We developed BOOM BLOX with endless combinations of gameplay in mind,” saidLouis Castle, executive producer. “With over three hundred levels, built upon a full real-time physics model, your experience can be as easy or difficult as you want it to be - there really is something for everyone to enjoy.”

“My inspiration for this game came while I was playing the Wii for the first time,” commented Spielberg. “From the initial concept to what the game is today, it’s always been built around the innovations the Wii brings to playing games. BOOM BLOX plays on the enjoyment of building and knocking down blocks, something that can appeal innately to kids and adults of all ages. I am a gamer myself, and I really wanted to create a video game that I could play with my kids. BOOM BLOX features an enormous amount of fun challenges and cool scenarios for your kids to solve or for you to master together.”

Spielberg announced back in May that he would be donning the game developers hat and when E3 2007 rolled around, he and EA made an official announcement regarding their joint venture on three titles, which included BOOM BLOX.
