  • ia it on the wii?

  • Minecraft is awesome its on the xbox now

  • @Yourlilbrother15 I can't find it. It doesn't look like it's released yet. There is nowhere to download it.

  • This was cool befor minecraft

  • THIS GAME MAKES ME WANT TO STAY HERE INSTEAD OF GOING TO HEAVEN!!

  • sling shot levels are loads of fun

  • if atari would have let spielberg take his time and make the et game, it would have been awesome.

  • getting this NOW...ok in two hours thumbs up if you like hitting bunnys with bowling balls!

  • Listening to this review it sounded more like a 10/10. but out of no where an 8 for no online play? The reviewer kind of made the number irrelevant due to him saying how GOD DAMN awesome this game is.

  • this one or the other one

  • ZOMG... THIS GAME IS RATED 10/10?! IM GLAD I GOT IT!!

  • the only good IGN review

  • got deducted 1.5 points just because it lacks online gameplay?!!! this game deserves a 10

  • DAMN IT my choise was THIS game , my sims kingdom, AND Metroid Other M .... i chosed Metroid and now i regret.... because Metroid HARDLY works and this looks awesome

  • Boom blox rules

  • space ship themes...and even futuristic themes!

  • Who is this reviewer? Why is he not in the new videos, he seems like a reasonable reviewer...

  • @EpicnessInABox His name is Matt Cassamassina. Earlier this year he left IGN to work for Apple...what exactly he's doing with Apple I do not know.

  • getting this

  • awsome game for anyone who has played it

  • lol i know this sounds gay but you sound like spencer from iCarly at 2:10

  • @Elliot1Rulz lololol true he does

  • can you download level created by other users on this game cuz i never played boom blox and im gettin it tomorrow

  • This is what makes the wii great, since you can't just create shiny HD graphics, you need to be more creative, selling the fun factor, not eye candy.

  • How can that pig fly at 0:42, how can you get him in a jetpack, and what do you use to make him fly?

  • the reviewer is an idiot when he said he was exaggerating that steven splielberg is amazing. HE IS AMAZING!!!!

  • I have this game and its amazing and im almost done and dood all people love blowing stuff up not just nerds and if im wrong call me the biggest nerd in the world

  • @MrJoeboo123 cool i want this game

  • the only problem, no recycled material

    no western, bouncey ball. no gorilla, no holloween, nothing old.

  • This game looks SO AWESOME!!!

  • This is a game

  • Ok thanks for the clarifacation, i thought it was a book!!! Never did i ever fathom that this would be a video game!!!!

  • @choupa4  wow. just wow. a book? really?re you serious?

  • Ceci n'est pas un pipe

  • wow, i did not know that! thank you for clearing that up!

  • Underrated game.

  • I love this game, but it's really lacking without a an online ranking system. Is there one that I don't know of? Also, it lacks profile data. Should be something that tracks my progress other than the boom bucks which just tracks how much I play. Like fewest moves to complete all levels and most points to complete the points levels. Not a ton of motivation to achieve something that's not tracked, but maybe that's just me? Let me know if there's a ranking system that I've missed.

  • i like it when games don't have online ranking because all it is, is a way of 10 year old nerds brag about how much of a life they dont have thats why i play online FOR FUN not to say YEAH WELL I SPENT 6 DAYS ON MW2 ONLINE AND I GOT PRESTIGE 10 AND I GOT ALL UPGRADES it fucking sucks any game with online play with no ranking system is the best so fuck you nerd go get a life

  • You reek of a loser, mitch. So you suck and can't compete on a global stage.... it's ok. Doesn't make you any less of a girl. If you don't like online games or ranking, don't go online. You do sound pretty intense about your games with such passionate, strong words. You're laughable. Stop being ignorant.

  • well i just took a shower so HAH!

    and i dont suck i could kick your ass at any game

    i just dont like to brag about it

  • Comment removed

  • This gane us perpetual jewel in this current age of games, Peroid. Not a perfect game, but a near perfect party game for a good amount of gamers.

  • i got this for my aunty for x-mas :3 great game :3

  • idk... is it just me or does this look really boring?

  • So is this a better game to buy over MoH 2?i choose this over MoH2 since their both $30 is that good or bad< i already have cod mw reflex and cod waw so i thought boom blox would change my play to not blood and gore,plus when i rented MoH2 i got like10 people online

  • if you own mwr and waw alrady you should definitly choose this game over MoH

  • at 1:52 that your anus and your anus is blue and gassy

  • Steven my ass. It's like Tom Clancy. He isn't really the programmer, more or less investor or just some guy who agrees to have his name attached.

  • he's freakin out, it should atleast get a 9

  • Steven Spielburg has YET ANOTHER blockbuster.

  • @BubbaDough nice pun

  • @BubbaDough I see what you did there.

  • thanks i have the original game and it's really fun.

    im getting bash party tomorrow

  • I've got a black Wii on order; really excited, but I'm worried it's going to turn out to be a disappointment. There are a lack of great games, or, more specifically, a lack of games that I think are great.

    3rd party developers are mostly to blame as they are too lazy and unimaginative to make games tailored to the Wii. Instead they just focus on graphics for PS3 and 360.

    And Nintendo need to release more mario and zelda titles.

  • hmm... downer.

  • Are you saying that I have Downs Syndrome, or are you expressing sorrow?

  • Expressing sorrow but I didn't mean it to "attack" you. I was just saying. I'm not trying to tick you off i was just suggesting to be glad you got a black wii!

  • Lol I know. Just kidding.

    Why is it that a console with last gen graphics gives me so much pleasure, yet I just tried Killzone 2 on PS3 and got bored with it in a minute. I feel like Nintendo got it right with the Wii; it's almost like people are becoming desensitized to good graphics.

  • yeah i just played smb3

  • @Lightf00t1:

    straight up, I've been playing video games forever, since i was like 4 and it's always seemed to me like nintendo balances all aspects of a good console instead of just focusing 95% on good graphics

  • i agree with you, i have played all of the ps3s big games, uncharted 2,ratchet and clank, resistance 2, but for some reason i much prefer metroid, legend of zelda and mario even with the last gen graphics.

  • ...not exactly. They've put in honest effort many times (see: The Conduit) and still the games don't end up great.

    I'm pretty sure the third party dev's on PS3/360 aren't ALL working harder. Its just easier to make a good game on 360/PS3 where you have less tech limitations. Common sense. The only advantages of the Wii are motion controls and a fanbase the size of Jesus. I have all three systems, but still only own 5-10 games for the Wii, more than half of which are by the big N

  • lol Right, okay.

    Yeah, I know what you're saying about the games on Wii. I just got a cheap copy of Resident Evil 4 to see what it would me like with the motion controls; I got a surprise when, 20 hours of solid play later, I realised just how much better the Wii controls can make a game when implemented correctly. Although it's partly testament to the quality of the actual game that, 5 years on, it can still hook me, even though I've played it on every format.

  • The thing is, implementing those controls meaningfully is difficult.

    Zelda and Metroid has some good ideas with it, but I don't see it going much further until Natal comes out. RE4 was great, but like you said, that was testament to the quality of the original game. Zelda was great on GCN, and Mario and Metroid were both doable on the GCN also (Metroid benefited more, obv). I just want a more compelling reason to have those motion controls...

  • if i got bash party, is there a point getting boom blox too? are there some othere-diffrent things , something better other levels?

  • yeah i need this question answered too people!

  • no, there isn't any point in getting both games. bash party has everything the original blom blox had, and lots more! don't buy the original, just buy the new one

  • lol looks like garry's mod :P

  • are you really the user ea on boom blox bash party!?!?

  • i got it like a week ago and it's kinda repetitive and i thought about returning it until i played versus with my dad.

    This game is only truly fun with more than one player

  • whole lot of money the company decided to make a new one( to get more money)

  • speaking of sequels, can't wait for super mario galaxy 2

  • i played the original when i used to have the wii. it was fun and everyone that played it liked it.

  • hmm seems interesting, granted the main suprise comes from the fact that speilberg actually has made a game

  • Meh...I personally didn't really enjoy the first boom blox all that much even when i had people to play with... So I think ill just stay away from this one.

  • great video

  • hey i got a game for you its called shut the fuck up bitch to me its a ten

  • A nice variation to "have a tall glass of shut the fuck up"...

  • i would buy it but i don't have a wii =(

    i played the first one at my friends house it was awesome

    i wish they would make a boom blox ds but it would be a bit limiting

  • I rented the first one, and played at a friends house who happens to own it. It was amazing! I couldn't believe how awesome it was! I'm getting it's sequel. No matter what anyone says. i'm getting this game!!!!!!!!!

  • Has this one got the slidy / icy games like in Boom Blox 1? That was my favourite!

  • This game seems sweet!

    Not even the first Boom Blox ever gets old. :)

  • meatier and beefier

  • I really wish they touched on the multiplayer, thats all that draws me to games for replay value, what do you do in versus, and co-op modes specifically, does anyone know?

  • COOL

  • This is like an expanded version of the Homebrew Channel app where you make boxes and bounce them around. Kinda cool.

  • Im a phisics freak :D

    il buy this game ^^

  • lol same here :D

  • should i get the first one or this one?

  • this one, definetly! much beter than the original!

  • if i were you i would get both they are both very fun but if you could only get one then get bash party

  • first for me is better

  • This one

  • dude i need this game

  • This one is virtually a copy-paste of the first one with some additional features, such as the virus blox, zero gravity or, my personal favorite, the slingshot.

    And being a copy-paste of the first isn't a bad thing at all: the system worked, and it still works in this one. It just feels more like an expansion pack than a brand new game. I'd give it an 8/10, especially since literally anyone can play it.

  • This game is 10x better then the first one the only thing i miss from the first one is the medevil theme but the pirates make up for that! GO BUY THIS GAME!

  • Boomblox is a friggin blast.

  • I like the new visuals but i wanted better graphic quality. I guess that makes me an evil person this days in nintendo world. Bad, BAd, BAD BARCODE!

  • awesome. I liked the first one, I might just get this one

  • sort of like lbp

  • holy crap... I SO WANT THIS!

  • is this one better than the first one ?

  • sorry, but no duh

  • actually i was pretty disapointed with this one

  • why?

  • should i get this or punch out wii or both

  • both

  • this... Punch out is fun if your a fan of the old 1..

  • wow 400 leves nice

  • coo

  • OMG im going jenga with dynamite

  • I didn't play the first one, but this was an AWESOME buy for me. Tons of achivements/awards, a LOT of levels, level types, great multiplayer, powerful level editor, very quick/easy way to download other user created levels. I mean, I downloaded the level for like... 2 secs, and *POOF*! I have a new level. This game is GREAT!

  • Looks stunning

  • Think I'll buy it. On sale for $29.99 at Target this week first one isn't usually that cheap even

  • yeah I got mine on sale for $29.99

  • when it come out me want XD

  • QUESTION!!!!!!!!!!!! this game looks awesome and i really want to play it, i could afford the £35 if i absoloutly have to, but it would mean sacrificing alot - should i do that right now or pick up the original game for £8 and make do with that for a few months??

  • u can get it for £25 on the game website

  • I think getting the newer one would be better BECAUSE: The very first one was about 50 to 90 levels with some pretty basic bricks. The second one has around 400 levels and has PLENTY of new things like bricks - characters - gravity levels and many more! SO I think Boom Blox Bash Party would be a better deal for you.

  • This game is a drug with no side effects.

    Except that you'll spend the WHOLE day looking different at object piles on your desk.

    Man....whata a game ! This game ROCKS !

  • people BUY Steven Spielberg's Boom Blox and he Nearly is a Celebrity and I Had play this like 51% long enough and you get to choose a Character like Heidi,P.Puff, Lola, and much more and you can Win!

  • I had no idea there was a sequel to this game. I loved the first one, but I didn't even finish it xD. I am so tempted to buy this one because the new levels and visuals look very sweet. Especially the space levels.

  • So, should I buy the original or this one?

    Not both (before you say it)

  • This one, it's a improvement from the original one in almost all ways.

  • it's alot like the original , with everything updated and a wee bit more mode and tool . the create tool is also awesome with the sharing map. if you didnt enjoy the original that much , chances are this wont either . if you're a huge fan of the original , there's no goddam reason why you shouldnt get this .

  • he says what the game mechanics are in the review. Listen more closely.

  • cool ill be uploading more created levels on here with the new bash party once i get it. ill share them online too.

  • WHHHAA YOU CAN!

  • Can you download other peoples made up levels ?

  • more like 9/10 IM BUYING IT!!!

  • for me its 10\10 this ones a must buy!

  • im buyin this for sure

  • I want this game so bad!

  • I WANT THIS GAME SO BAD!!!

  • Lol, "Not hardcore enough" xD

    If you can't play this because of how it looks you might want to rethink why you play games :P

    Looks great :D He sounds like he had alot of fun with it, might pick it up when it's cheaper. :)

  • 8.5.....should have got a 9 from how happy this dude was

  • 2000 words and no hi-five ? you kill it dude .

  • Not to put down the man but Spielberg needs to come out with a better game then this.

  • your kidding right? not every game needs women,nudity, sex, drugs, guns, and killing. if thats all that entertains you then you are sick, pure and simple

    this games shows the spieburg and those working under him on this gaame have an imagination, its also a reason people like you DONT make videogames. period.

  • women,nudity, sex, drugs, guns, and killing? Where the heck do you come off accusing me of that? You don't even know what I was thinking. Plus last time I checked Spielberg has done a lot of movies killing with guns and sexual references.

  • i got it the day it came out and i love it!

  • looks good i guess ill have to pick this up

  • Steven Spielberg should direct a video game movie. That way he can raise the bar for the genre. It would have to be something challenging for him. He can make most action games any day of the week.

  • I totally agree, Spielberg should make an original movie video game just like John Woo did. That game John Woo did was awesome.

  • looks like another LBP to me =p

  • Jenga with dynamite? I'm sold on it lol

  • What a great line!

  • No this is nothing like Little Big Planet

  • just coz u can share levels online? -_- i meen come on its not even a platformer. this game looks gd tho

  • If you think about the only big difference between this game and Little Big Planet is the genre. If you were to convert Little Big Planet to a puzzle game it would be identical. Or if you were to convert a This game into a platformer. It would be identical.

  • explain? from what i can tell the only bit the same is the level creator / sharer. thats like saying halo is like LBP coz of forge

  • not really unlike halo forge you can't recreate everything in the game. You can't recreate the campaign levels or the multi player level, and Halo 3 doesn't have a file share search engine or rating system like LBP and BBBP (boom blox bash party) In both LBP and BBBP all the levels that came with the game were created by the game developers using the same editor that you get in the game.

  • it was b4 little big planet, and nothing like it.

  • Didnt get the 1st but might get this, it looks pretty awesome.

  • Phisics 4 life!

  • are you trying to spell physics?

  • I saw that I wrote it wrong.

    were just tierd :P

    Sorry bout that

  • lol Wii.

  • Love the hi5 at the end LOL!

  • It's not as robust as LittleBigPlanet but it sure looks like a lot of comical fun. If you had a Wii, this is for you. A PS3 then LBP. 360? Halo 3's forge I guess =/

  • It's kinda hard to compare editors from different games I think the only way you can compare builders from different game is by how much in game content can you recreate with it.

    I'd say it's as robust as LBP. All the in game levels in both games are created by the developers using the same in game editor that is included in the game. So that would make them about equal. Though LBP is just a little bit more robust cause you have more background options.

  • Gameplay > Graphics

  • why not both graphics and gameplay in other words the PS3 :)

  • and what about the wii mote?????
