Boom Blox 2 priced much nicer than Boom Blox 1

Submitted by Joe Fourhman on June 12, 2009 – 11:08 amComments

Enjoy this UK trailer for Boom Blox Bash Party, already out for Wii. Sure, Spielberg was all chummy with Microsoft at this year’s E3, but he still has this Wii project on the burner.

What I wanted to point out is that Bash Party is tackling the number one complaint leveled against the first game, that is was kinda maybe not worth the $50 price tag at launch. Bash Party retails for $40 and thus far it has not been difficult at all to find the game for $30. Target had the game for $30 for a week, and Toys R Us was offering a free $10 gift card with purchase (that TRU deal may actually still be going on; check your local listings).

Now, this doesn’t make up for Target suddenly upping the Punch-Out+Nunchuk bundle from $55 to $65, but it’s good to see EA aggressively taking steps to get Bash Party on the buyers’ radar. The Wii is at the point where we should see a lot more solid titles debut at the $40 level, just as the PS2 did in its heyday.

    No one to play with? Sounds like a cop out.

    The previous game was so much fun for people of all ages. My 3 and 4 year old like to play it. And my mother-in-law has played and enjoyed it as well.

    So do you live in a cave by yourself?

    My brother (older) only plays sports games, none of which are for Wii. My parents are both either too uninterested in or too bad at all video games. Plus, I'm not going to spend the extra $60 for another Wii Remote and Nunchuk when no one in my family plays and my friends wouldn't want to play Wii enough to justify the purchase.
  • Wait and buy a black one, when Nintendo releases them in the US.

    Boom Blox is seriously great for groups, but I DID play through it single-player. You unlock all the crap, that way.

    For $40, and with the sales those stores have every other weekend, it could be knocked down below that pretty soon. Or, you could buy Klonoa. That'd be hot.

    The game looks really fun and seems to have near infinite replay value, but I won't be picking it up. To have real fun with it you'd need to play the multiplayer mode, but since I have no one to play with, I have a feeling it would, unfortunately, collect dust.
