EA's first XBLA title News
Xbox 360 News by Robert Purchese
EA has joined forces with Bizarre Creations, the team behind Project Gotham and Geometry Wars, to bring us Boom Boom Rocket for Xbox Live Arcade.
This rhythm music title will be the publisher's first foray into the world of XBLA, and carries a scheduled release date of spring 2007.
Originally conceived by Pogo.com, the game challenges you to trigger rockets to the beat of the music whilst travelling through a 3D cityscape. The better your timing, the higher your score.
Ian Livingstone has composed 10 original tracks for Boom Boom Rocket, each choreographed into three skill levels. Master these to unlock new firework designs.
"This is a perfect time to bring such a unique and custom-built arcade game to Xbox Live Arcade," said Chip Lange, EA vice president. "We've crafted Boom Boom Rocket to offer an intensely fun entertainment experience for the thriving community of hard core and casual gamers alike. It's only natural that our launch title comes from the Pogo team, given their remarkable success with casual games."
There's support for two players to compete on one console, and those of you who like to win can climb the online leaderboard.
We're not sure how many Microsoft points we'll need to dish out for the title. Geometry Wars cost just 400, so we're hoping the price doesn't Rocket up. Boom Boom.

"Woo!
Sounds very Bad..!" Yeah, and I'm sure Lumines sounded shit when the first tried to explain it. "Yeah, its a rythmn, puzzle game, see!? And you have to match 4 blocks of the same colour to the beat of a beat of a tune, while a line comes across the screen to clear them!!" Give them a bloody chance. Yes, its the EA we all know and hate, but this actually sounds completely different from anything they've ever done. |

Well I'm playing Rhythm Tengoku right and it is pure genius. Then again I cannot bring myself to play Lumines, I just don't get the game. But basically games playing with rhythm are a good thing.

If bizarre have any involvement in development I am instantly interested. Some studio's have that sort of Kudos.

I wonder if they'll get sued due to it being
AN OBVIOUS RIPOFF OF FANTAVISION! Another EA innovation. It'll probably be quite a good clone if Bizarre are involved. |

It does indeed look nice. I wonder what kind of music they are going for. Considering those screenshots, I'm thinking techno of some sort would suit it.

It's EA, so it won't be techno..... Game looks interesting though. |
