Hahaha, thanks man, you just made me laugh :)

And by the way, He wasn't stating his opinion, he claimed himself the master of videogame judgment when he said "Boom Blox IS a bad game" instead of saying "I didn't like Boom Blox". Saying that he particularly did not like it would have been an opinion.


Please, keep the funny comments comming!

Consider it done.

I admit I made an error. I figured you had the ability to make the same logical inferences that the average fifth-grader can. My mistake. But allow me to educate you. I will use small words and short sentences.

Most people know that when a person says what they think about something they are stating an opinion. It is not necessary to say magic words like "I believe" to make something an opinion. The rest of us know that reviews are always opinions. That is why we have different reviewers. People with enough brain cells to rub together are able to fill in the necessary gaps in logic chains to arrive at such conclusions without having others do it for us.

But apparently some of us do need the help. Allow me. When amp said that Boom Blox is not a good game he was giving us his subjective thoughts on the game. Subjective is defined here, and sorry for using a big word. We know it is subjective because there is no right or wrong answer on the matter. We know there is no right or wrong answer on the matter because we require multiple reviewers to go over a game and expect all the reviewers to have different judgments. Because what amp said is subjective we know he was not making a factual assertion. Statements come in two main categories, factual assertions and opinions. Because amp was not making a factual assertion, he was telling us his opinion.

My sentences were longer than I thought. I am sorry for that. Next time I will try harder. And there will be a next time. Because you will make there be a next time. Next time we will talk about maturity. Maturity does not mean what you think it means. You are an idiot. (Can you find the opinions in the preceding paragraph now?)

 

Hola, entendi todo lo que escribiste, pero fue mucha palabreria sobre algo muy simple. Se que fue para tratar de darme una leccion, pero realmente lo que causaste fue hacerme reir. No quiero decir que me rei porque tu seas tonto, sino que es muy gracioso cuando la gente exagera tanto como tu lo haces por cosas tan insignificantes.

Pero gracias por hacer de este un thread divertido.

P.S.: Boom Blox es un juego Genial y amp esta incorrecto.

Well, thanks for the advice, I will consider renting before purchasing. For the people who liked it, do you recommend if it only had the single player? Most of my friends don't like to play videogames, so no multiplayer for me =(

I would. I can't speak for anyone else. I barely even touched multiplayer.

I loved it and I play mostly single player games, since I live alone and don't have too many gamer friends. My highest possible recomendation. Single player Boom Blox is fantastic, but you have to like challenges that can get difficult sometimes and that require a lot of thought and patience. In other words, if you like puzzle games, you'll love this one. Go get it.

Well I loved the majority of the single player challenges; adventure mode is hit and miss. It really depends on how big a puzzle freak you are, and if these are your kind of puzzles.

Intriguing review Mr. Amp.

Although I can't say I didn't enjoy this game, I did encounter some problems while playing the single player campaign. There was always a slight delay with the cursor. After I threw something and focused my IR back in the sensor's sights, it would take a second or two (or more) to find where I was pointing. Not a big deal, except when time was on the line and evil skeleton blox were destroying everything I ever loved. After many failed attempts and sensor bar placements, nothing would help. I gave up after that.

Still, if anything's a blast it is the multiplayer. I love the fort game (where you have to knock down the other players forts). It's great to plead with your friends to spare you... only to realize that this is sweet revenge for them from 2 turns ago when you yourself showed no mercy.

If it's one thing Boom Blox needed, it was time. Time to be polished, and to make sure everything was working perfectly. WiiMotion+ excites me because it can do so much to help the Boom Blox experience. I hope EA is already getting to work, utilizing the technologies of both the peripheral and the actual system (it's not a pretty game, I'll give you that).

I meant to tell you, a few months back I saw a lot of people on GameFAQs were experiencing that same problem. Bunch of other weird cursor issues as well. Seems almost random. I'd chalk it up to EA's policy of ensuring every game they release has odd unexaplainable glitches in it. =P

Doesn't this happen in a lot of Wii games though. I've had the cursor jump in Mario Galaxy also when I move it too fast. It even jumps on the Wii's menu screens. Isn't this just a problem with the controller itself, and supposed to be one of the benefits of Wii Motion+?
