EA with director and producer Steven Spielberg together has launched the Boom Blox game for Wii enthusiasts. This is EA’s first game released in collaboration with Spielberg.

Boom Blox is a high-energy game where players find their way through nearly four hundred levels of strategic destruction. Kids and families will destroy their way through brain-twisting challenges with single player while, co-op, and versus multiplayer options require no clean up.

“Boom Blox was designed to be interactive, pure escapism, and fun for kids of all ages,” said Steven Spielberg. “My hope is that it will be a great shared family experience.”

There are more than thirty wacky characters involved in the game. Marion “Fluffy” McCluck, the bomb blox-laying chicken and Boots Beaverton, who likes to make the Bomb Blox explode are few examples of such fun loving characters.

Boom Blox further lets players express their creativity and innovation by building and bringing to life their very own levels in Create Mode. The game also allows kids to remix any existing levels in the game in this unique mode using any props, blocks, or characters that have been unlocked throughout the game.

Moreover, players can share their design with friends to challenge others to solve their newly created puzzle via WiiConnect24.

“As we developed BOOM BLOX, we realized that the possibilities with the puzzles were endless,” remarked Louis Castle, Executive Producer. “We wanted to extend that element of wonder and discovery to players and even give them the chance to share those puzzles with their friends. We feel we’ve reached a new level of creative and immersive game play with the uniqueness of the Wii system and are looking forward to seeing what kids create.”

Boom Blox is rated ‘E’ for Everyone by the ESRB, 3+ by PEGI, and 6+ by the USK.

The BoomBLox is available right away in Europe and North America for $49.99. While the game will hit the Asian and Japanese market on May 13 and May 22 respectively. BoomBlox will also be available across major carriers for mobile phones.
