Boom Blox is a game based on puzzels like Template:Fakelink and Template:Fakelink.The only thing is,you have to break certain blox to beat the level.So it's also challenging.
Here's what wikipedia has to say. [1]

-BOOM BLOX- Boom Blox is a puzzle video game for Wii and mobile devices developed by EA Los Angeles in conjunction with film director Steven Spielberg. The game was released on May 6, 2008, in North America and on May 9, 2008, in Europe.
The game presents a series of physics-based puzzles, the objective being either to keep structures made of blocks from being knocked down or to knock them over by various means, using the Wii Remote to throw, shoot, and grab at the blocks. Boom Blox features a realistic physics system; the angle at which a projectile is launched and how fast it is thrown as well as the mass of the projectile and the type of blocks it comes into contact with influence the results of an action.
The game has over 300 single-player levels as well as over 100 cooperative and competitive multiplayer levels.Additionally, there is a mode that allows players to create their own levels and share them with people added to their Friend Code list via WiiConnect24.
Boom Blox has been described as Jenga meets Tetris Blast, Breakout, Duck Hunt, and Legos.Gameplay emphasises reflexes, dexterity, and problem-solving skills.It features a physics model that ensures the blocks collapse realistically,and also measures the velocity at which an object is thrown, recognising three distinct speeds.In the game, players use the Wii Remote to manipulate bowling balls, baseballs, laser guns, and water hoses in order to knock over structures made of blocks.Alternately, they use the Wii Remote to grab blocks in Jenga-style gameplay, taking care to remove a minimum number of blocks without toppling the precariously stacked tower.
There are different kinds of blocks in the game, such as gem blocks, blocks with point values attached, explosive blocks that detonate on contact, vanishing blocks that disappear when struck, chemical blocks that explode in a chemical reaction when they come into contact with each other, wood blocks, and steel blocks.Just as the type of blocks with which the player must contend changes as the player progresses, so do the tactics for completing the level. The player might have to avoid letting blocks with negative point values attached fall while destroying blocks with positive point values attached. In another level, the player might have to set off a series of explosions and domino reactions that target a structure's weak point or ricochet shots off multiple structures in order to destroy the blocks, all with a limited number of projectiles.Different types of blocks possess different physical properties; their mass and the amount of friction they exert alter the way they will respond to contact.
Adventure and Explore modes
The Adventure and Explore modes are the single-player portion of Boom Blox, constituting over 300 levels.As the player progresses, he or she is challenged with time limits or a limited number of projectiles with which to complete the levels.Each level also challenges the player to get a gold medal, though achieving a bronze medal is all that is required to reach the next level.
Adventure mode is story-based and offers character-driven scenarios that involve defending forts or the various domino-shaped characters from enemy attacks and guiding these characters by clearing the path in front of them as they walk. Explore mode presents puzzle-based objectives that focus on different groups of skills,allowing the player to discover the basic mechanics of the game.
Party mode
In addition to single player, there are also over 100 cooperative and competitive multiplayer levels available in Party mode that can be played by up to four people on one screen, by taking turns, and on a split screen.Cooperative play involves destroying or building structures together with friends and family while competitive play involves playing against others to accumulate the highest scores by destroying blocks with positive point values attached or attacking the opponent's castle to destroy their gem blocks within.
Create mode
Create mode is a built-in level editor that can be used to create or modify multiplayer and single-player levels. These levels are designed using different types of blocks unlocked by playing through the single-player Explore mode. The player can alter the size, height, and width of the blocks, clone them, and assign them attributes such as point value or type.Then, the user-created levels can be played or sent to people added to the player's Friend Code list via WiiConnect24.
Development
In 2005, it was announced that Steven Spielberg and Electronic Arts would be collaborating to create three new video game titles.Many were surprised when, in July, 2007, EA announced that their first collaboration of the three would be Boom Blox, a puzzle game for Wii.Spielberg explained the unexpected choice, stating that "I really wanted to create a video game that I could play with my kids."
Initially, the game was to support headtracking: the repositioning of the virtual in-game camera in relation to player's position in the room. The feature, which was to require two Wii Remotes and an LED headset, was to be included as an easter egg.However, on April 15, 2008, EA announced that the headtracking feature had been cut from the game.
During development, the focus was on creating a video game specifically for Wii, but senior producer Amir Rahimi has indicated the that Boom Blox may be ported to other consoles in the future.
