Throw, Grab, and Blast Your Way Through Boom Blox

EA has announced that Boom Blox, the first game released in collaboration between EA and director and producer Steven Spielberg, has shipped in North America and will be available May 8 in Europe, May 13 across Asia, and May 22 in Japan for Wii. Perfect for kids 8-99 years old Boom Blox offers action-packed destruction that takes Wii play to a new level of enjoyment and creativity.

“Boom Blox was designed to be interactive, pure escapism, and fun for kids of all ages,” said Steven Spielberg. “My hope is that it will be a great shared family experience.”

In Boom Blox, players make their way through almost four hundred levels of strategic destruction where they can destroy their way through brain-twisting challenges with single player, co-op, and versus multiplayer options. Joined by a cast of more than thirty wacky characters with distinct personalities and behaviors, such as Marion “Fluffy” McCluck, the bomb blox-laying chicken and Boots Beaverton, who likes to make the bomb blox explode. These fun characters bring personality to the Tiki, Medieval, Frontier, and Haunted themed worlds.

Equipped with an easy-to-use in-game editor, Boom Blox allows gamers to express their creativity by building and bringing to life their very own levels in Create Mode. Players can even remix any existing levels in the game using any props, blocks, or characters that have been unlocked throughout the game. Plus, their designs can then be shared with friends or used to challenge others to solve their newly created puzzle via WiiConnect24.

Boom Blox is also available for mobile phones where players will slide on ice blocks, blast blocks with bombs, and bounce off springs to solve brain-twisting puzzles and level the playing field. Players will advance up to forty levels to reach a target score and once the in-game puzzles are mastered, the game will then expand to a new arena. Custom creations can then be posted online directly from a mobile phone. Players can challenge a global community with their dynamic puzzles, and rate other players’ works.
