Boom Blox

By placing the Wii remote in your hand, you interact with the puzzles in one of three ways: you will throw something at the structure, grab something out of the structure, or blast specific areas within the structure. The block structures contain over a dozen different types of blocks that react to your actions in different ways. For example, if one chemical blox touches another chemical blox, they explode. The puzzles also contain anthropomorphized blocks that tell stories and have specific behaviors when they come in contact with certain blocks. For example, if a puzzle has a beaver blox present, the beaver will always walk toward a bomb blox and ignite it.

What makes Boom Blox so good is that it will appeal to all sorts of players: young and old; newbies and hard-core gamers; people who just like puzzles and people who do puzzles to complete a story; groups that want to play cooperatively and those who want to crush their opponents; and people who like to create puzzles and share them with others (through the Wii Connect feature). Families with LEGO-maniacs will find this game provides kids with endless ways to construct block puzzles to share with parents, siblings, or friends.
