Forums - Nintendo - Boom Blox Review Scores Exceed my Expectations

This game is making some serious waves. It currently has a metascore of 90 with four reviews, not including a 9/10 awarded by Gamesradar.

That includes a 100(!?) from 1up.

We'll see how long this holds up, but I would never have expected this game to review better than Mario Kart in a million years.

Edit:

The link above now includes 6 scores for a metascore of 86. That doesn't include Gameradar's 9/10, GamePro's 4.25/5, or X-Play's 5/5. Including those reviews brings the score up to 88.

 I think I might have to get this before Blast Works.

a 10 from 1up????? never seen that coming.



10 from 1up is pretty impressive.  Don't expect this game to light up the charts though. 



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

Teh revuwas is cazualz. /sarcasm
Nice. It's not shovelware after all.



Yeah, I've heard nothing from good things from reviewers. Day seven for me!

Normally I wouldn't expect this game to do very well regardless of quality. But the Spielberg name ensures a fair bit of marketing and media attention.

Infact there was a big sign for the game outside of the EB I passed by today. It was funny, if you were walking by you'd see ads for GTA IV, Mario Kart Wii and Boom Blox.



I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do. 

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

tens and nines.... i'm getting more interested.
I was expecting something between 75-85 in the reviews



.

I Think this game deserves a 9!

It it the funniest game I played since Super Mario Galaxy

I played Wii Fit and Boom Blox tonight with a friend of mine. To my surprise he enjoyed the latter one more! (Wii Fit is incredible fun too).

Ok, I'm very interested now. I was already but a 10 from 1up? Suprising.

I just called up my closest GameStop, they are getting 2 copies.

Interesting. I thought this game would be average (70%) with several flaws. This games seems great now. Hopefully, puzzle gamers will complement its quality with sales. It's Spielberg's biggest success since E.T.! Only took ya 25 years.....
