Blocky graphics with a difference

"Boom Blox" has what. While it does not particularly pretty graphics, no outstanding effects or other gimmicks, but it captures - when Rebus paired with a good deal of skill like. Although it has at most levels no pressure and can think about investing enough time, how to get with as few throws the goal, but in between there are always issues that are not just good timing but also skill with the Wii Mote demand. Except for a few outliers of the difficulty of the task is well balanced, the motivation and learning curve rises flat, but steadily. Well done.

The multiplayer part has been well implemented. One can not only compete against each other, but also in cooperative mode together try various levels to crack. A nice feature, especially if the skills of the players are very different - so you can definitely together "Boom Blox" enjoy.

A nice little bonus is the level editor, which allows almost unlimited possibilities to create your own tasks. It, if you could be on the online feature new level Download the future would be nice. At the moment you can only send unfortunately Wii Friends via the Wii network its own creations, but do not have recourse to a large online pool.

The presentation is, as mentioned above, is not necessarily a graphic wonder. On a high-definition television in the many geometric shapes used in the game you can see, unfortunately, despite (or perhaps because of?) Utilizing the highest resolution of 480p unsightly jaggies. The color scheme is appropriate, family- and child-friendly. The sound is as unobtrusive as elevator music. Overall, there would certainly be a lot more have been possible. The Wii can afford much more, as evidenced by other titles.

The physics of "Boom Blox" is understandable, controlling well done. Recommended (but not absolutely necessary) is to take over the camera control with a Nunchuk. This facilitates finding the optimal throwing or gripping position in my opinion but clearly, as the analogue stick much pinpoint positioned as the schwammigere Wiimote B Button control.

The game can sometimes also blasting away for an hour or more on the screen until you have the tinkering and throwing or gripping enough again. The many game options make it both as a solo and as a multiplayer title interesting. "Boom Blox" is a typical game for the casual gamer, but without neglecting the medium to long-term motivation. So if you have a Wii and can be enthusiastic about tinkering games (including dexterity elements.), Who must actually access here - despite the negligible block graphics.
