I’ve actually had an interest in Boom Blox ever since I heard about it some months ago. It may sound strange, but I always find it really interesting when someone from a completely different field takes a leap into the field of games, and Steven Spielberg certainly qualifies. Of course, as any adventure game nut reading this will know, Steven Spielberg’s first effort was the fantastic adventure game The Dig. But Boom Blox is not the type of game you might expect from the famous storyteller Spielberg, as it’s certainly not an adventure game. It’s actually a cute puzzle game. Apparently, Spielberg wanted to make a game that he could play with his kids!
Before I get into the review, I have to admit that I haven’t actually played the game yet. It’s been on my “to-get” list for a while though, and when I saw that we had the chance to review the music of the game, I jumped at the opportunity. I basically figure: if I enjoy the music, I’ll get the game. After all, who ever heard of a bad game with good music, right?
So what of the music? Find out after the jump! (more…)
