EA, Steven Spielberg Unveil Boom Blox for Wii

Electronic Arts and Steven Spielberg today unveiled their first videogame collaborate: Boom Blox, a puzzle game for the Nintendo Wii. Amazingly enough, although the game was officially unveiled today, Boom Blox for Wii will be available in stores this May.

Boom Blox offers a host of levels that engage Wii owners in single-player, co-op and versus modes. The premise of the game, which uses real-time physics, is essentially making players destroy blocks and solve puzzles to make their way through a host of challenges.

Boom Blox has more than 300 levels and a cast of 30-plus characters, but the biggest addition, particularly as it goes up against games like Little Big Planet for the PS3, is its an in-game editor that lets players create their own levels and challenges -- and then share them with others.
