Let me start off my impressions by saying this; everyone should at least try this title at least once. For the last 3 nights, Boom Blox has captivated the castle of Game On and has truly grabbed everyone that has played it by surprise. I can honestly say that I hope that the following iimpressions encourages some of you to purchase this awesome game.

Boom Blox comes as a welcome surprise in the Wii’s ever growing, but sometimes underrated (I’m talking from a review standpoint), 3rd party titles and should be played, if not purchased, by a plethora of gamers everywhere.

I have chosen to write up an “impressions” column rather than a full review because my current status with the title has not reached completion (if you are an avid gameonnintendo reader, you may notice this trend to continue…I really think I have ADHD….).

Let’s get this out of the way first; the game is not a marvel to look at but as the age old debate goes, gameplay truly outshines graphics with this gem. Don’t get me wrong, it doesn’t look horrible but it’s definitely not the brightest bulb in the Wii’s library. I am pleased to report that the title plays very well and responds great to the gestures that each player throws at the screen. If this were not the case, I truly would’ve already traded this game in.

The game has its whimsical moments and a decent amount of stages to help keep things fresh and new to help peek gamer’s interests. I cannot tell how many times myself and other players (Mrs. Game On and some other family members), were laughing out loud at the shenanigans that took place during gameplay.

I applaud Steven Spielbergs first entry into the gaming realm and hope that we get a sequel to this fantastic title. If anyone else has played this game, please share your comments and let us know what you think of the title!
