The EA Casual Entertainment Label announced that BOOM BLOX, the first game released in collaboration between EA and director and producer Steven Spielberg, has shipped in North America and will be available May 8 in Europe, May 13 across Asia, and May 22 in Japan for Wii. Targetting kids 8-12 years old and the entire family, BOOM BLOX offers action-packed destruction that takes Wii play to a new level of enjoyment and creativity. BOOM BLOX is also available across major carriers for the mobile phone.

BOOM BLOX was designed to be interactive, pure escapism, and fun for kids of all ages,” said Steven Spielberg. “My hope is that it will be a great shared family experience.”

In this high-energy game, players make their way through almost four hundred levels of strategic destruction. Kids and families will destroy their way through brain-twisting challenges with single player, co-op, and versus multiplayer options with no clean up required.

Joined by a cast of more than thirty wacky characters with distinct personalities and behaviors, players will be entertained by Marion “Fluffy” McCluck, the bomb blox-laying chicken and Boots Beaverton, who likes to make the bomb blox explode. These fun characters bring personality to the Tiki, Medieval, Frontier, and Haunted themed worlds.

Equipped with an easy-to-use in-game editor, BOOM BLOX allows kids to express their creativity by building and bringing to life their very own levels in Create Mode. Players can even remix any existing levels in the game in this unique mode using any props, blocks, or characters that have been unlocked throughout the game. Plus, their designs can then be shared with friends or used to challenge others to solve their newly created puzzle via WiiConnect24.

Developed at EA Los Angeles under the EA Casual Entertainment Label, BOOM BLOX is rated ‘E’ for Everyone by the ESRB. For more information, visit http://www.BOOMBLOX.ea.com.
