Boom blox : Bash party

Loved the original game and this seems to offer more, in fact much more, including 400 levels, new weapon types and free downloadable content, read the review and make your own mind up.

UK release 29/05/2009
US release out now

Re: Boom blox : Bash party

I loved the first one which IMHO is one of the best games on the Wii. I'm definitely getting this sequel.

Re: Boom blox : Bash party

I think the fact that you can also download new developer designed levels as well as those designed by game purchasers for free will lift this above the norm.

Re: Boom blox : Bash party

Anyone else taken the plunge yet?

Fantastic game, seems to improve on the original in just about every way.

The new level types fit well with the design of the game and the downloadable levels work seamlessly.

Every Wii owner should give this a try, but if you enjoyed the first one, this is absolutely essential!!

9/10

I ordered mine from VG+ over the weekend as I have a US Wii. It should be here by the end of the week. I'm really looking forward to it after all the positive reviews and feedback. I have the original game and think it's one of the best ones on the Wii.

Re: Boom blox : Bash party

Mine arrived in the post this morning. I've completed the training levels so far and so far so good. The only thing that annoys me is the black bars on either side as the game does not display in full screen.

What a short thread for such a great game!

Just to let everyone know, it's very cheap at Argos at the moment.

I don't mean to be a contrarian, but BBBP disappointed me. I was expecting more of a puzzle element. Even the extra on-line user-generated content was frequently more for show than play, including levels that completed themselves automatically. Plus BBBP is not 16:9.
