Also some people expressed disappointment over the lack of headtracking and Wii motionplus support. I think that's ridiculous. Headtracking would only work while playing single player, and even so, I don't think it adds much to the game. It's not necessary. What else isn't necessary? Wii Motionplus. The game is primarily controlled via the pointer anyway. The first game controlled brilliantly and I see no reason to require consumers of the 2nd game to have an additional attachment accessory to play the new one.
I played the original game with friends and everyone had a blast. This looks like they're doing the sequel the right way and I'll probably buy it on release.

Hard to say. Actually I think the best advice is find some way to play the first one (rent maybe) and then buy the second.
It is just a really fun game especially for multiplayer, and then you've got the cool creation mode where you can set your own level rules or just blow stuff up/make Rube Goldbergs.

The first one had me at the training levels.
Online? No friend codes? DLC? Fucking wicked.
I love how they mention Spielberg "might" make his own level.. as if most people would give two shits whether he ended up making his own Boom Blox level.
"I hear Boom Blox 2 is out.."
"Did Spielberg end up making his own level for that?"
"Nah.. I guess not."
"Well fuck that then.. that's the whole reason I wanted that game."
Now, if Nintendo could get something like a Lego-licensed Blockland thing going on, then we'd be talking something awesome using blocks and the gimmick of the Wiimote. We have all these franchise Lego games, so why not an actual game for just building stuff with Legos?
Day one purchase. This kind of games is why the Wiimote was made.

Actually, it would be awesome to have Spielberg make a level or two....as long as one of them is getting to destory a huge ET with explosives.
I loved the first game....and this looks to perfect the gameplay and expand how it works. I can't wait, day one for me.

That's about 60 euro or 80 us dollars.
Or half the price of the entire console.
I can't understand how anyone, even if they are loaded with cash, would pay that much for a silly little game!
I haven't bought Super Mario Galaxy either because of its ridiculus price.
I'm having way too much fun with WiiWare, Koroninpa and Resident Evil 4 which I got for much, much less.
Jeeez, haven't you ever heard of importing?
Last time I checked it wasn't that cheap at those places either. But they seem to be lowered now. Too bad Play is out of stock. If I order something from Amazon, maybe I'll slip that in, but now I feel like I'd rather wait for the sequel.
I've tried the original, and wasn't that impressed. It felt rather tedious. I hope this sequel will offer cooperative multi-player, though! We're lacking games like that for the Wii at our home.
IIRC, the first Boom Blox had cooperative multiplayer.
yeah, I hope this one is better and much more glitch free.

What exactly are you talking about I don't remember finding any bug oO
Pokémon HGSS: 1205 1613 4041
The only bug I remember is that sometimes when you pulled a block out in Jenga mode and let go right away, it counted as taking out the block, but the block was still there. You couldn't select it anymore either.
That rarely happened, and even when it did.. it wasn't that big of a deal.

nintendo doesn't care. You can either use their prebuilt system or make your own, they're not going to cry over one less game not using their servers that nobody pays to use
I think his point was that developers know consumers will be more likely to buy the game because it doesn't use Nintendo's shitty system.
In other words, friend codes are so bad games list not having them as a feature.
So, Nintendo should care, because more people would buy their games if the online functions were better.
And online is still not a selling point of videogames. Only people on these forums actually care about how 'good' the online system is. Only 10% of Halo 3's copies are online, and like .03 of halo 2. And those were the biggest online games besides WoW for the longest time.
tl;dr if people wanted a full featured, Live-like service you would have to buy subscription time. Nintendo doesn't believe selling membership fees is viable so they don't do it.
And I'm willing to put down money that there are people outside these forums that care about online play on their console games.
but since it's just straight up codes, there's no authentication or other system to run
In any case, I'm likely to go with the next Microsoft console, since my gaming has become more of a social activity than how it used to be. The online for the Wii has definitely left me turning to PC for my online needs, which I'm quickly becoming unable to keep up with ($ wise).
Forum type people coordinate with each other, whereas the average consumer hits quickmatch and doesn't have an online community that they play with.
Like, I have friends who play Mario Kart. But none of them would dream of setting up a time to play a game with me online. That's just not how they roll. And my point is that those folks are the majority and we here are the minority.
Wheee X-wings!
Fantastic trailer. Space and undersea FTW. :^:
This one looks to beat the first one in almost every catagory. Better online, downloadable levels, I'm sure more diverse and better single player section, and guarunteed better multi player. Plus cows in space suits are awesome.
