Boom Blox Bash Party

Everything Falls Apart

Bash Party also has a lot of content to wade through with levels doled out between the single-player mode, multiplayer co-op and versus modes. There's also an option to download levels using the Wi-Fi (we weren't able to try it out so we can't vouch for the quality of the content, but it's a nice feature to have) and the level creator is sure to keep enterprising players busy for a while. The included levels are a mixed-bag: some feature terrific layouts that encourage replayability while others had me quitting in disgust after repeated failed attempts; thankfully, you can skip past difficult or annoying levels by spending some in-game currency.

As a multiplayer experience, Bash Party succeeds but it's less a party and more of a social gathering. Because every player will want to survey the board and line up the perfect shot or move, matches take on a slow and methodical pace. Still, it's a great title to break out when you have people over, especially if you're trying to keep children entertained; younger gamers will be enthralled by the visual style and the "it's okay to break stuff" gameplay-just be sure to firmly secure their wrist straps before letting them loose.

PROS: Same addictive charm of the original; new twists keep things interesting.
CONS: Not much in the way of innovation; level designs aren't consistently awesome.
