EA Throws a Party With Boom Blox Bash
Party for Wii
EA and Steven Spielberg continue their
collaboration to bring players this highly-anticipated sequel to last year's
critically-acclaimed BOOM BLOXTM game for Wii, which earned more than a dozen
awards and received recognition from parenting organizations, media outlets and
the gaming industry. With more than 400 new levels, stunning new worlds, and
twice as much multiplayer game play, BOOM BLOX Bash Party brings tons of
action-packed fun for the whole family.
"The original BOOM BLOX really came from a need to bring families back into the
same space playing games together," said Steven Spielberg. "We had so many more
creative ideas that we wanted to put into the sequel, and BOOM BLOX Bash Party
really takes the original concept to a whole new level of interactive family
gaming."
BOOM BLOX Bash Party features nearly twice as many multiplayer challenges as the
original BOOM BLOX making it the ultimate party game! Players will have a blast
playing with or against friends in co-op, versus and new team-based challenges.
Whether playing solo or with friends, BOOM BLOX Bash Party will have players off
the couch, throwing, bashing and slinging blox like never before!
In addition to the more than 400 new levels in BOOM BLOX Bash Party, players can
also easily download new levels created by EA and the BOOM BLOX Bash Party
community at no additional charge with an Internet-connected Wii. EA will make
40 additional levels available at launch with many more to come. In addition,
players can create their own levels using the game's enhanced Create Mode, and
submit those levels to be posted and made available to the community. Over time,
BOOM BLOX Bash Party owners will have access to many more downloadable levels in
addition to those already included in the game.
"We are thrilled to be able to offer players a
constant stream of new and exciting levels in BOOM BLOX Bash Party," said Amir
Rahimi, Senior Producer. "The EA team has been working hard creating exciting
new levels that will be made available over time, and we cannot wait to see the
passion and creativity the BOOM BLOX Bash Party community members put into
making their own shared levels."
EA takes the destruction to new heights with
four stunning new themed worlds including Space, Pirate, Heroic and Show Time!
Players will experience action puzzle game play in new physical environments
like zero gravity and under water. Players will also encounter exciting new
block types, like Virus, Conveyor and Push blox; new block shapes like cylinders
and wedges, and engaging new tools, like the cannon and the slingshot! A new
cast of characters, as well as favorites from the original BOOM BLOX, are now
part of the puzzle-solving strategy. Players can now throw, grab or sling them,
and watch them fly, knocking down blox and causing eye-popping explosions!
