Don't let the looks of this game fool you, this game has enough BOOM in it to please the crowd.
THE GRAPHICS are passable. As you can tell, this games focus is not in graphics but in gameplay. But luckily, with its simple designs and textures, it still looks good.
THE STORY is probably the most lame part of the whole entire game. Its told in a story book format and every other word rhymes with the previous as if your are reading a Dr. Suess book. So, taking this into consideration, you can forget about the story.
THE GAMEPLAY is where this game truly excels. Its provides superb puzzles unlike anything in it's genre. Whether its throwing bombs at a castle, or shooting bombs underneath a bridge of monkeys to collapse them to their deaths, it all feels great. Allowing the game to produce a gravity physics to where you hit blocks in certain spots and let gravity take control is a beautiful thing. The game also challenges you perfectly. As in most challenges are too easy or too difficult, this fits right in the medium. There are times where it will challenge you, and even if you pass with the lowest score to get the bronze, it gives you the challenge of besting yourself to take the gold. So it never becomes too challenging unless you want it to be. There is a ton of modes to play here, all ranging from explosive puzzles, to ones where you must keep a steady hand to play a Jenga-inspired match. Along with all this you also get a create mode. This works extremely well and lets you not only build your own levels, but also lets you create the rules, layout the playing field, and choose your tools of destruction. Did I mention you can then share your creations over Wiiconnect24? Add on multiplayer and you got yourself an original gem.
THE SOUND fits the game just right. It supports the music you would expect from the environments, and provides the typical animal noises. The sound fits the game just right and doesn't faulter the game any bit.
OVERALL Boom Blox is a rare gem that I'm afraid is gonna get overlooked by alot of people. As with Viva Pinata and Zack & Wiki, many people overlook certain titles because of this kiddish look. I hope that this game does not fall under such circumstances, because this is indeed one of the best titles on the Wii.
