Steven Spielberg, one of the big names in cinema, was involved in the development of this more than original game for Nintendo Wii. Released 17 years ago, this title features more than 300 levels and extensive interaction options around the player's environment.
A puzzle game from a great filmmaker
An unprecedented puzzle game was released by Nintendo Wii in 2008. This innovation brought a breath of fresh air to the world of gaming on the Wii console. Developed by Steven Spielberg, director, producer and writer of several hit films including Ready Players One, Jurassic Park, Indiana Jones and The Lost Temple, the puzzle game celebrates its 17th anniversary today. In fact it is one of the filmmaker's many projects. More than usual, Spielberg's desire was to emphasize a family aspect that was accessible to everyone.
It is actually a unique collaboration between this genius and Electronics Arts on this Wii game that was announced in 2005. A game that will take you back to your childhood. The idea came to him after coming into contact with the Wii console. This game also represents hospitality and the opportunity for everyone to play a video game.
A surprise around a simple game goal
With a panel of more than 30 characters and 300 levels to complete, Boom Blox features a real physics system. Using the Wiimote, the player must destroy the blocks by hitting them with the items available under his hand. This game differs from fantasy universes with its simple goal of breaking bricks to advance. The movements with the Wiimote are easy and fun. The speed of throwing and destroying projectiles depends on the force with which the player moves.
This surprising game is none other than the first dynamic game developed in parallel between EA and Steven Spielberg. At the heart of the original idea was the creation, construction and sharing of blocks via Wiiconnect24, a service that enables the sharing of game levels. Boom Blox allows you to imagine environments and environments and quickly implement them. The different levels ensure guaranteed fun, especially Tiki Tower Topple and Meddieval Mayhem, with the option to also play with other players and invite friends to puzzle.
