I must respectively disagree with amp316's posting.

The game is fun. It is precise -- to the degree the Wii remote and your own hand allows you oto be precise. This is a game I can play with my 6 year old son, with my non-game playing wife, with friends, and with myself.

I will admit that I have not progressed very far through the adventure mode -- but then again, what game is not repetitive.

Go further into the adventure mode and you will see what I'm talking about.  Expert mode is infuriating.

@ Phendrana But it is a bad game. Explain to me why there is slowdown in a game as plain looking as Boom Blox? It is poorly made and the controls are bad. For a game like this they need to be spot on. They are not even close. I'd rather have a quality game sell than this. I know that my voice doesn't sway many opinions but I can express what I believe and I believe that the game stinks.

 

It isn't a bad game though. I've rarely heard anything bad about it besides the people in this thread. It's always been very positive. It's sitting at an 85% review average right now. People who don't like it are the minority. If I said I didn't like Super Mario Galaxy, that would be fine. If I said it was a bad game because I didn't like it, I would be wrong.

I can't really say anything about the issues you mention. Like I said, I've never had any problems with the controls. I actually think they're very responsive. Any slowdown wasn't noticeable enough to affect gameplay. The graphics are pretty bland, but I can let that slide since they're just a bunch of blocks.



GTA 4 has an average score of 112% so what's you're point? That's the most glitchy game ever made.

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.

My point is a majority of people say it's a good game. GTA is also good game. I agree it's overrated, but the glitches don't make it a bad game.



I have also heard good things about the game from a few guy's but...When I saw some video's of it it didn't interest me,I thought that it might be fun and that video's don't do it justice,but then I kept on hearing about the control problems and some other things(I think you were the first to give me info on the game)and that's when I decided not to get it,I think it's better that I did'nt cause it doesn't look interesting.

So with that,I agree with what you say.

What I'm saying is don't bring up review scores. Bring up your opinion. Not someone elses. You like the game. Fine. I think it's wretched. These are the things that make the world go round.

Well, I think amp316's view on Boom Blox is similar to IGN's view on Samba de Amigo. The rest of the game was good, but the Hard Mode was "broken".

Do you think that's about the same thing?

No.  Because like Rol said,  It get's boring even before it gets broken.  I can't speak for Samba de Amigo because I haven't played it.
