 Unexpected fun; high replayability July 28, 2008

I didn't expect much from this game when my 7-year old son chose it over Super Smash Bros. Brawl as one of our first purchases for the Wii, but after 20 minutes of playing, I was totally hooked! A deceptively simple spin on Jenga, Boom Blox is a perfect party game for everyone in the family that is easy to learn but difficult to master, especially the challenging "grab" mode in which the game's excellent physics engine really stands out.
Whether playing alone, in co-op or attack mode, Boom Blox is the kind of mass-appeal game you can play for hours at a time without getting bored and is a worthy addition to every player's library.
excellent overlooked game July 24, 2008

This is an excellent puzzle game for the wii, loads better than the majority of wii 'party games' being released for the console. While the visual style is appealing to kids, the game is easily enjoyable by the whole family or a group of adults. The controls are simple and mostly easy to use, through the precision needed for some of the challenges may be a little frusterating.
And, dare I say, the controls are in and of themselves are fun to use. Who wouldn't want to throw various objects at carefully constructed block towers? Or pull them apart jenga-style? Not only that, but it all feels pretty natural, as well as being perfectly suited to the wii controller for a unique experience.
Great fun for all ages July 24, 2008

My 5 year old game whiz loves this game. It is deceptively complicated on the higher levels,and takes thought and strategy---which makes it fun for my 38 year old husband. It says a lot when a game serves the entertainment needs of children and adults.
Surprisingly fun - takes a little time to get into it July 23, 2008

My first few minutes with Boom Blox weren't that great. I had problems with the controls (solved by moving the WII sensor below the TV) and was initially bored with the game play.
However, after opening up more levels, the game became much more enjoyable. I'd give this game some time before you give up on it - it grows on you. It's a great multi-player game and even my 4 year old is able to play.
Fun for the whole family July 21, 2008

This is one of the only games that my entire family likes(including the adults) It reminds me of the game Jenga. It is also easy to play if you are not very coordinated with the controllers, like me. My kids usually get tired of the games very easy but this one is holding strong. My 10 year old says "Mom it is so good because there is no way to beat it and it never ends"
