EA has announced a sequel to its excellent Spielberg-developed game Boom Blox. Called Boom Blox Bash Party, it will be released in the Spring and features an incredible 400 levels.
As in the original, you'll be knocking down blocks, destroying towers, slinging and launching blocks and characters in this action puzzler. The new version features twice as many multiplayer challenges as the original and offers team-based challenges so you can play with or against friends, solo or in teams.
As you play you'll see new block types, including virus and conveyor blox, new blox shapes such as cylinders and wedges, and new cannon, paint ball and slingshot tools.

You'll also meet a new cast of wacky blox characters. This time they don't just cheer you on as they are now blox themselves and you can throw, stack or even launch them.
Once you've got through the 400 levels, there are more for you to download online and you can rate new levels from EA as well as levels created by members of the Boom Blox Bash Party community using the game's Create mode. You can use the same tool that the development team used to make your own levels.
Legendary film director Steven Spielberg has focused on multiplayer with this sequel to his first Wii game. "Boom Blox Bash Party is a wild social gaming experience," said Spielberg. "We know families and friends really enjoyed playing the original together, so we designed more explosive multiplayer experiences with Boom Blox Bash Party."
