Lol. Completely different from what I expected. Thought you would be positive about the game. My wife loves the game but that's only multiplayer. We tried the single player game for like a minute but couldn't be bothered. I have to say it's not bad. Just not Tetris quality or even remotely close to Tetris quality. But at least a 3rd party put some effort into a Wii game instead of making a cheap cash in and so we have to commend them for that. From what I have played I would give it an 8/10. If I ever play the single player game (very unlikely) and it turned out to be quite good then I would give the game an 8.5. At least one thing we can be sure of is that it's better than Wii Music.

 

What if the one player game is horrendous?  What would you rate it then?  That's what we're talking about.  I guarantee that Wii Music will be a lot better than Boom Blox.  That much is certain.   

well like i said i only played the 1 player mode for like a minute and then decided against it as it seemed you couldn't just select which type of game you wanted to play and which level (unlike the case for multiplayer). The chances that I would ever go back to the single player to play it and find out how decent it is are non existent as there are many other games I would much rather play. Until your review I did not even remember I owned the game.  So I can't really say what I think the single player would be like.

What I would say is that the multiplayer isn't too bad at least for an 1 hour at a time. Anything over that and it starts to get boring. It's the quality of the multiplayer that makes me give the game an 8. No matter how crap the single player is I wouldn't mark it down for that because if I don't like the single player I just wouldn't play it. I am treating that as an added extra to the game that can only bring the scores down not up. Much like how the ability for a 2nd player to help out in Mario Galaxy is just an added bonus and can't make me give the game a 9.9 instead of the 10.1 it deserves (although I mark it down to 10.0 for spring Mario which is the most annoying thing ever and a part of the game you have to deal with).
