Wii: Boom Blox

Anyone have this game yet? It is HORRIBLY addicting. I cannot stop, we got it for the kids, and I have to master every puzzle now.

This is the most fun I have had with a game in a long time. For those who have not seen it, basically you just try to find the weak spots in structures and knock it over with as few throws of a baseball as possible. Really a simple game, but hard to master.

We got this last week and I have to agree that it is awesome. I don't have many games for the wii but this is by far the best I've played to date. I had family in town and they liked the game some much they went out and bought a wii. It's got great party play (2-4 people - competitive and cooperative). I haven't played the individual side as much but I can see how it would be addicting.

I haven't tried the create mode yet. But it sounds like you can download puzzles that other people have created - which ought to make it almost endlessly deep.

So it's like Wii Jenga, only in reverse.

That is exactly what I thought.

Actually, some of it is much like jenga. Other parts are "reverse" jenga by throwing balls (baseball and bowling) at the structures. Others times you try to knock off certain blocks without knocking off penalty blocks. There are also shooting parts of the game - with guns, lasers, and water hoses.

I forgot this game came out. I'll have to check it out ... after MGS4.
