Given that the game is geared toward those who like to play with others, there’s almost twice the amount of multiplayer content this time, so you can grab a friend or four and play against each other, in teams or cooperatively. There’s also a greater variety with the amusement-park themes. Some of the games that we played in Versus mode involved shooting each other’s pirate ships with the cannons, and knocking each others pucks off of the board. You’re still aiming for the highest score, so the goals and premise are the same, but the stages are more diverse this time around, which makes each round feel a bit different. You’ll earn achievements as you go along in the form of Boom Bux, the in-game currency that will let you unlock new levels and features if you don’t want to unlock them the traditional way. If you’ve completed everything and are still itching for some new content, you can always create new levels or edit the existing ones and share them with friends online.

Boom Blox Bash Party appears to be a bigger, flashier version of the previous game, with plenty of new mind-boggling levels to conquer and an array of features to mess around with. It’s really easy to get caught up destroying towers and tossing around bombs because it’s so simple and fun. Wii owners who missed the original may want to keep an eye on this one when it is released on May 19.
