Boom Blox Expected to be on Other Platforms
Boom Blox is easily one of the best games to come out for the Nintendo Wii this year. The Puzzle game presented some of the best controls and physics on the system to date. So much that John Riccitiello president of Electronic Arts said the following:
“We haven’t made announcements on that front. Frankly, its original design was all about the control of the (Wii])wand. But there are other ways to implement that. It is a hugely innovative product. I expect you’ll see it on other platforms in time.”
So it looks like one of the more innovative games for the Wii, will be making a appearance on the Xbox 360 and/or PS3. One of the reasons why the game worked so well with the Wii – were because the controls were a perfect fit with the Wiimote. Using a “regular” controller would probably would make the game average at best. Could EA maybe take advantage of the Xbox Camera? Or use the Sixaxis motion feature right? Doubtful, but in time we’ll know.
Either way, just like how some games wouldn’t work on the Wii (Dead Rising), other games could be just dreadful on the more powerful consoles.
