Boom Blox Bash Party knocks over retail shevles on May 19 photo

Oh my dear lord... I am so excited about Boom Blox Bash Party. Electronic Arts just told us that the game is confirmed to be shipping on May 19, and I've marked it down on my calendar. 

You think I'm kidding, right? I'm not. Boom Blox was my favorite Wii game of 2008, and I took a lot of crap for it. But I'm sticking to my guns. Fun is fun, right? And Boom Blox was fun, so I want more. 

I had a chance to play Boom Blox Bash Party a few months back, and was impressed with how fleshed out the experience is when compared to the original. For one, the "party" in the title refers to the increased focus on multiplayer that EA has pushed into Boom Blox Bash Party. Among my favorites was one particular "match three" game in which hitting objects on a board changed their color; matching three colors (think Bejeweled) caused the blocks to break, causing chains and block chaos.

The game also features a significantly upgraded Create Mode, where players can design levels and then share them via Nintendo Wi-Fi. While these features appeared in the original title, the seamless integration of the uploading and downloading that was demonstrated was both impressive and exciting. 

Hey, I'm unreasonably excited about Boom Blox Bash Party -- what do you want from me?

Bash Party... not the best words to use together at any time. Ever.

Boom Blox is an excellent game, and you shouldn't get crap for liking it. It's a pretty solid party title. Now as for people saying it's a "system seller", however...

I liked the first Boom Blox and though the multiplayer focus of Bash Party certainly sound cool, I just can't seem to get people into anything multiplayer on the wii. I would love to get Bash Party and just bust it out when people are over, but I know that it'd probably get vetoed pretty quickly in favor of Rock Band.

That said, I'm not sure if I can say no to those little block-ified undersea skeleton pirates. So awesome.

I didnt get the original, as i had things at the time i would rather have spent my cash on, and i did. Might get the sequel, but again, things like punch out, and munchables stand before it. But is it really as great as everyone said.

Haha I was just daydreaming about how awesome it would be if my wife and I adopted some homeless kid who loves games, and will do house-work just to play the ones we buy.

Was Zack & Wiki released in 2008? If not, then I agree with you, Boom Blox was the best Wii game last year.
