Electronic Arts Inc. released Boom Blox Smash Party for Wii, the sequel to the critically-acclaimed Boom Blox game for Wii.

EA’s collaboration with director and producer Steven Spielberg continues with the new game and the destructive fun reaches new heights with richer multiplayer action and more than 400 new levels.

“Boom Blox Smash Party is a wild social gaming experience,” said Steven Spielberg. “We know families and friends really enjoyed playing the original Boom Blox together, so we designed more explosive multiplayer experiences with Boom BloxSmash Party.”

Boom Blox Smash Party is even more fun to play with friends and family, featuring twice as many multiplayer challenges as the original, and now offers team-based challenges, said a statement.

Players can play with or against friends, solo or in teams, knocking down blocks, destroying towers, slinging and launching blocks and characters, for tons of high-energy, family-friendly fun.

Even the characters are in on the action as BoomBlox Smash Party features a new cast of wacky blox characters.

“In the original Boom Blox, we really focused on perfecting the game’s physics so now we can push the boundaries of physics, offering exciting new challenges and completely new ways to play,” said Amir Rahimi, senior producer. 

Developed by the EA Casual Studios, Boom Blox Smash Party will be available in North America and Europe in Spring 2009.-TradeArabia News Service
