EA and Steven Spielberg Launch Boom Blox video game for Nintendo Wii.

BOOM BLOX is the first game released in collaboration between EA and director and producer Steven Spielberg. The casual game has shipped in North America and will be available May 8th in Europe, May 13th across Asia, and May 22nd in Japan for Wii.

In Boom Blox you need to make your way through almost four hundred levels of strategic destruction. Kids and families will destroy their way through brain-twisting challenges with single player, co-op, and versus multiplayer options with no clean up required.

Joined by a cast of more than thirty wacky characters with distinct personalities and behaviors, you will be entertained by Marion "Fluffy" McCluck, the bomb blox-laying chicken and Boots Beaverton, who likes to make the bomb blox explode. These fun characters bring personality to the Tiki, Medieval, Frontier, and Haunted themed worlds.

Equipped with an easy-to-use in-game editor, BOOM BLOX allows kids to express their creativity by building and bringing to life their very own levels in Create Mode. Players can even remix any existing levels in the game in this unique mode using any props, blocks, or characters that have been unlocked throughout the game. Plus, their designs can then be shared with friends or used to challenge others to solve their newly created puzzle via WiiConnect24.
