I rented the first RRR, and I think that Boom Blox is miles ahead of it. It is a really fun physics puzzle game. I enjoyed it more in multiplayer.

 

So you're saying that Boom Blox is miles ahead of a game that was released at launch.  This is impressive in what way?

Unfortunately that launch game is much better.  The RRR games continue to be fun after playing them several times.  Boom Blox gets old within the first day of owning it.  It's fun for a couple of hours until you figure out that you're doing the same four things over and over with horrible controls.

 

If any game is the same thing over and over again it is RRR.  I'm glad I only rented it because it got old in one night.

 

There are several different types of minigames. Maybe you don't have a sense of humor or enjoy minigames. The controls also work in the RRR games. 

Example:  the lightgun levels in the RRR games are spot on.  The want to be shooting segments in Boom Blox are awful.  You have to shoot like five seconds (slight exaggeration) ahead of time to hit something.  I could go on and on and on with the control problems but I wont. 

I get pissed off when people recommend this game.  It makes it look like there are no good games on the Wii.  I am a huge supporter of the Wii and it's quality games.  This is not a quality game. 

A lot of us think it is quality. It's a three dimensional shooting game. It is more realistic in the way the firing works. Also, it makes it more of a challenge.

That said, the firing is the worst bit of the game. The other games are superb and the puzzles challenging. Controls nont perfect but good.
