- Snuff99, on 05/07/2008, -3/+46The fact that this is not a game by Nintendo is the cool part. Maybe third parties can be intuitive?!

1UP, 100/100
Boom Blox may not be the best Wii game, depending on your proclivities, but it’s definitely the best use of the Wii yet. It’s immensely accessible, wonderfully tactile, and stands as one of the best treatments of gaming in a 3D space.
Yahoo! Games, 100/100
BOOM BLOX is so simple and its appeal so universal that we’re hard pressed to think of another Wii game that can so effectively bring a room together… [it's] one of the most gratifying jump-in-and-play games you can get on the Nintendo Wii.
G4 TV, 100/100
Boom Blox delivers so much content, that it would be hard not to find something to love in this title. Give it a try. What looks to be rather simple is actually complex and will keep you playing for hours.
GamePro, 85/100
Boom Blox offers a great gaming experience with a ton replayability; you’ll have to excuse the pun but this is one title that truly does qualify as a “summer blockbuster.”
IGN, 81/100
Boom Blox is one of freshest and most enjoyable puzzle games you can this generation and it is an especially good multiplayer title.
GameTap, 80/100
It’s one of those rare family games that doesn’t fall into the genres of minigame collection or rhythm title, and your seven-year-old kid will have as much fun as you do.
Nintendo Power, 80/100
The production values aren’t going to win any awards, and some of the mechanics work better than others(the hose is pretty lame), but Bloom Blox is an innovative and amusing piece of entertainment worthy of the Spielberg name. [June 2008, p.87]
Wired, 80/100
Boom Blox does what so many Wii titles wish they could, by splitting the difference between casual players and lifelong gamers. You can pass the Wiimote to your grandma or a 5-year-old and they’ll have a ball with its clever mix of brainy puzzles and satisfying explosions. But hard-core players like me will find a surprising amount of depth to the gameplay and a satisfying, addictive challenge. - o0joshua0o, on 05/07/2008, -0/+13Inflation.
- inactive, on 05/07/2008, -2/+13Resident Evil 4 (yeah okay, it's a remake, but damn, the Wii controls really improved it in my opinion - I'm a terrible aim when it comes to operating dual-analogs).
- xutopia, on 05/07/2008, -3/+11Super Mario Strikers
- ATLien74, on 05/07/2008, -2/+9This game was supposed to have Johnny Lee's WiiMote Headtracking as an Easter Egg but they removed it! I was really excited about this game, until they removed headtracking. That's messed up. There's barely mentioned it being removed only about a week before it comes out. EA's trying to do a bait and switch. ***** that. I'm not buying it.

Headtracking Removed from Boom Blox - http://www.joystiq.com/2008/04/15/head-tracking-fe ... - modsuperstar, on 05/07/2008, -2/+9Sorry to hear that. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
- codemonkey314, on 05/07/2008, -1/+8If I had money to spend on this kind of stuff right now, I'd have it in a heartbeat. As it stands, I'm a poor college student and will stick with Brawl for the next umpteen months.
- KingGoonie, on 05/07/2008, -9/+151 out of 200? I can name over a dozen.... Best games of all 3 current systems.
- inactive, on 05/07/2008, -2/+8You aim the ball, lock with A, do a throwing motion and let go of A.
I've played it for a few hours, and it's got some fun puzzle elements, but "best use of Wii controls yet" is total hyperbole. It reminds me of a really well put together indie game, not a 50 dollar Spielberg/EA blockbuster. - mrgreen4242, on 05/07/2008, -0/+6Kart is awesome. Don't let the ~8.5/10 average steer you away from thinking this isn't the best game released in '08... other than the out of date graphics and kind of boring music/sound, the game is perfect (I guess that leaves just the gameplay overall game design, and just plain fun). The use of the Wiimote is fantastic - yes, other racing games have had better/as good steering controls in the past but NO game has ever done it with a consoles out of the box controller (though the Wii wheel does really add to the game imo - at least the first one is free).
The online racing is great, but the online leader boards and downloadable ghost data are by far the best use of NWFC so far. I NEVER cared about leaderboards/achievement points/etc but being able to race against someone just a bit better than you and then see yourself bump up on the graph as you improve is extremely satisfying for some reason. - SSCrow, on 05/07/2008, -2/+8Why are so many games getting 100/100 scores lately?
- EtherGnat, on 05/07/2008, -0/+5Actually 1UP was an A+, Yahoo Games was a 5/5. Metacritic converts scores to xx/100. A perfect 100 score might seem excessive, but when you look at the actual scales used it seems more reasonable.
- Enasni1212, on 05/07/2008, -0/+5You're right. That sounds exactly like an advertisement...
However, it's relevant, and it's a good site, so why not? - mijelh, on 05/07/2008, -1/+6C'mon can't we just stop posting political stuff on unrelated subjects??
- AndrewDB, on 05/07/2008, -2/+6Whitenoise, you're just a troll.
You've got a ***** pokemon on your avatar. - KingGoonie, on 05/07/2008, -2/+6Gotta love how whitenoise basically thinks his opinion is right and thousands of reviews wrong.
Godfather - most agree best version and great game with the controls.
Scarface - see above
Resident Evil 4 - again see above
SSX Blur - got mostly good to great reviews
Raymen Raving Rabbids - see above (not the sequal though)
Ware Ware Smooth Moves - see above.
Zelda Twilight Princess - um.. and?
No More Heroes - great
Okami - again, best version with better controls
Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles - got mostly good reviews - DAaaMan64, on 05/07/2008, -3/+7Hey ya'll suck.

Blah Blah, there are still others. I have 30 games that don't suck and I can list those off if you want. We also already pretty much know Pikmin and Animal Crossing are going to work well too. - mrgreen4242, on 05/07/2008, -0/+4Because reviews know that GTA4s 10's were inflated by all the hype and are tying to lower the bar for perfect scores to draw attention away from it. Inflation was a better answer, though.
- inactive, on 05/07/2008, -1/+4I'm with you there man. I still need to pick of Mario Kart at some point (as well as Metroid Prime 3, actually - not as high a priority but I still want it), and now this comes out? Geez, c'mon!
- joey368, on 05/08/2008, -0/+3Wow all those high scores are incredible. Wii's third party games are getting more polish now. Keep it up, Spielberg! And I'm not suprised if Nintendo would publish the sequel if there is one.
- citizenchan, on 05/07/2008, -0/+2If the game is successful, it may signal a change in trends for video gaming. In one way, it proves the movie guys do know how to make *good* games, it may also raise the level of expectation for future movie-games.
- insanewriters, on 05/07/2008, -2/+4I can see this being on a future "Best Overlooked Games" list, along with any other good game that game out within a month of GTAIV.
- redeyejay, on 05/07/2008, -2/+4I agree that the Wii version is superior simply because I am colorblind and had a hell of a hard time seeing the laser sight.in the original
- aladrin, on 05/07/2008, -0/+2Intuitive?? Innovative?
- BlueSkyfish, on 05/08/2008, -0/+2Because what's the point of a 10 point scoring system if you only use 9 numbers?
- thanakar, on 05/07/2008, -1/+3OMG, "proclivities", guy must not understand the usual Digger.
- mywhitenoise, on 05/07/2008, -2/+4I've played No More Heroes, at least up until the second boss, and about 30 or more other Wii games (It's modded). It isn't that great of a game, and most people would agree.
- Twenty, on 05/07/2008, -0/+2Trauma Center 1 & 2? SSX Blur?
Twilight Princess was a Gamecube game ported to the Wii. Everyone seems to forget those games above. I really enjoyed the control schemes there, and much more importantly, they were very precise. A lot of reviews I read said that SSX Blur's learning curve was too steep, but I disagree. The controls were tight and responsive. So in conclusion my question would be, wtf wiitards? - inactive, on 05/08/2008, -0/+2Oh no, believe me, Kart is still definitely a "must own" game... But on the other hand, Boom Blox is just so unique, I can't help but be intrigued by it. Plus it's got my favorite feature in a game - random, wanton destruction.
- TwoKill, on 05/07/2008, -1/+3I'm not saying this game is a rip off from something else but check out the game Toblo that was made a while back.
http://toblo.csnation.net/
There are just too many similarities, I kinda feel like Spielberg should have pulled a Valve and talked to these guys. - Hammyton, on 05/07/2008, -2/+4okami
- GrampyWriter, on 05/07/2008, -0/+2Not really, Mario Kart managed to sell over 1.2 million copies during the GTA IV launch week, not too shabby. I can pretty well guarantee that Wii Fit is going to post some pretty awesome numbers. Amazon is completely sold out three weeks before launch and is desperately scrambling for more copies. You just have to realize that a lot of the world doesn't really WANT to spend time wandering around committing senseless acts of violence. Especially those of us that have seen the real thing. Apparently you can't give it away in Japan. It's a very successful game, awesome sales but it definitely is not for everyone.
- steviebaby, on 05/07/2008, -0/+2I digg you up for being so stupid for spelling inaccurate inaccurately
- TwoKill, on 05/08/2008, -0/+1I live with the Toblo guys, and I can guarantee that they won't see a penny (they don't even get the trophy they won from IGF)
- asforme, on 05/08/2008, -1/+20-9
- amirman, on 05/07/2008, -1/+2that's exactly what i thought. I AM going to go ahead and scream "RIPOFF!" I hope the guys who made Toblo are getting something out of this. On the other hand i'm glad someone is taking the game concept further since the Toblo guys pretty much abandoned the game.
- VinnieDaMac, on 05/07/2008, -1/+2I'd buy this if it wasn't $50.
- Sirocco, on 05/07/2008, -4/+5Even those of us with money will still be playing Brawl for years.
- Hydrohs, on 05/07/2008, -0/+1I'll definitely have to give this game a try.
- cesclaveria, on 05/07/2008, -3/+4Wii Sports
- Skahara, on 05/07/2008, -1/+2Pure marketing.
- DAaaMan64, on 05/07/2008, -2/+3Your crazy. whatever bud. Have a look at my collection. Your just trolling. Your calling some great games crappy.
- mrgreen4242, on 05/07/2008, -0/+1I think MK might outsell GTA4 (worldwide) eventually (as in by the end of the year). 25m Wii owners vs. 30m PS3/360 owners and it's a lot more universally approachable game than GTA is. Which is more likely: half of all Wii owners buying MK (12.5m copies) or 40% of 360/PS3 owners?
- Harbinger67, on 05/07/2008, -0/+1Intuitive? Maybe you mean innovative...
- Twenty, on 05/09/2008, -0/+1You can practice a bunch in some training option in-game, where you just make the shape and the game tells you if you're right or not. I haven't played the game in a while 'cause I haven't had enough time. Apart from that, I feel that Blur (as with the rest of the SSX series) lacks the personality that really hooked me with SSX Tricky. It's sad but true. Did you ever feel weird when you won races in Blur and the game cut to your character standing awkwardly at the finish line to soft crowd applause? It seemed like your rider was supposed to say something or something was supposed to happen... unfortunately nothing did. It was weird.
- modsuperstar, on 05/08/2008, -0/+1Obviously you figured it out and I wish I had this insight when I still owned the game, as I am a big SSX fan. The problem with the game is the fact that none of what you just told me is actually imparted to you in-game. I haven't had nearly the level of difficulty with any other game I've played on the Wii.
- CCricers, on 05/13/2008, -0/+1I can't understand what's worth burying my post for. I have no contempt for Spielberg or his game. It looks awesome.
