EA has revealed the known -- but never officially announced -- sequel to Boom Blox for Wii. According to the press release, EA's Boom Blox Bash Party will be out this spring, featuring 400 new levels and a greater emphasis on multiplayer -- as evidenced by the "Party" in the title. (As well as the "Bash" -- which is a kind of party, we believe.)
"Boom Blox Bash Party is a wild social gaming experience," said Steven Spielberg, who is involved in the new game in whatever nebulous capacity in which he was involved in the first title. "We know families and friends really enjoyed playing the original Boom Blox together, so we designed more explosive multiplayer experiences with Boom Blox Bash Party."
Even more exciting, BBBP now has online integration for its level editor, allowing players to share their destructible Mario sprites with the community at large. EA will offer its own downloadable levels as well.

why not just Boom Blox Bash? Why Bash Party? Thats redundant as hell.
As for the game: Just adding the ability to download user made levels to the original would've been good, but hopefully they add new stuff to the creator and make better levels than the original. And if we're really lucky, EA will slap a $40 price tag on this sucker and watch as it ascends to the heavens as Gods gift to casual gaming.

It's probably the same game with some extra stuff. The name is horrible though.

Its funny to play with a lot of players, but almost any game is fun in multiplayer.

I hope that they include the head tracking option like they promised for the first one.
Well... at least 09 is looking very good for the Wii.

Blast Works set the standard for online level sharing on the Wii, and that game was only $20. If the new Boom Blox does it as well as Blast Works did, this will be a really really great experience. I want more Rube Goldberg-ian levels where you find the one weak spot that brings down the whole thing and less throwing balls at marching skeletons, and I think that the community is likely to make some pretty cool ones.
