great for the whole family
We bought this game on a sight unseen recommendation from a friend. When we got it home it turned out to be one of the most fun games we have played in a long time. WE have had it now for about 3 months. We still have fun with it. There are a few levels that we find impossible to pass. Those are frustrating, but we have played it in several different modes and enjoyed it every time. Finally one of those toss it and knock it down games that I can actually win at unlike the arcade games at fairs!

surprisingly fun, particularly in a group
This game was better than we expected.
Its fun in a group (taking turns) for a few reasons ...
1) The turns are quick.
2) You don't have to have the control to participate. Everyone has ideas and suggestions on how to win the puzzle.
3) You can redo the previous puzzle to try it a different way or try to get a better score.

It's more of a thinking / logic puzzle than a skill-with-the-controls game.
I wouldn't rank it as a must-have or great game, but its fun.

Freakin great!
Say you come home after a lousy day at work. A drink didn't help, and neither did the punching bag. Now what?! Easy! Queue up the Wii, pop in Boom Blox and prepare to unwind.

This is the funnest game I've played in a really long time. It makes me get off the couch, assess scoring situations, swing my arms, and try to knock over 'Jenga' like towers with baseballs (or bowling balls) getting as many points as possible. And this isn't the only type of game available. There's a regular Jenga-style game, where you pull the blocks; a storm the castle, and a bunch of others. Team play is even more fun!

I guess I should confess I'm not much of a thumb gamer (PS3, etc.), but it makes not difference. This game is totally addictive and by the time you're through, the smile on your face will say it all :)
