Spielberg Teams Up With EA To Create ‘Boom Blox’ For Wii
Steven Spielberg has decided to branch from the movie industry and to dig his heels into the next best thing – gaming. He has teamed up with EA games and created a whole new world and new game for the Nintendo Wii called Boom Blox. The new game - which will be released in May of 2008 – has been based around the concept of the popular Jenga game.
It will have more than 300 levels, “a cast of over thirty wacky characters” and it seems to be built around letting players take on “Blox-laying chickens or…baseball-throwing monkeys” or even more stranger cartoon like grim reapers in tiki, medieval, frontier, or haunted themed settings. This new concept may sound a bit strange to most of us and all of us are no doubt wondering why Spielberg couldn’t come up with a game that involved more action.
“The whole look and feel of the product is just a more family friendly and entertaining experience,” said EA game maker Louis Castle. “It’s like having your own cheerleading squad running around with you so it’s very, very cute.” With that being said we might actually like it more than we think. Check out the trailer below and get a glimpse of what’s to come.
