Excellent single player, excellent multiplayer, fantastic all around, particularly if you’re a huge fan of physics based games like I am.  Much better than I expected from EA but I guess Steven Spielberg made them do it right.  It has so much variety it’s obscene, using physics and blocks as the basis there are so many different ways to play it really can’t be described.  Buy it but if you’re not sure at least rent it, 99% of people will love this game.

You can read thorough details on the gameplay here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boom_Blox

Boom Blox has been described as Jenga meets Tetris Blast, Breakout, Duck Hunt, and Lego.[10][12] Gameplay emphasises reflexes, dexterity, and problem-solving skills.[13] It features a physics model that ensures the blocks collapse realistically,[6] and also measures the velocity at which an object is thrown, recognising three distinct speeds.[1][14] In the game, players use the Wii Remote to manipulate bowling balls, baseballs, laser guns, and water hoses in order to knock over structures made of blocks.[1][9] Alternately, they use the Wii Remote to grab blocks in Jenga-style gameplay, taking care to remove a minimum number of blocks without toppling the precariously stacked tower.[15]

Yeah I rented this game and I thought it was tight. I’ll probably buy it eventually.
