PRESS RELEASE Chertsey, UK – April 11, 2007 – Find your rhythm and get ready to set off the biggest round of fireworks, as Boom Boom Rocket™, the first Xbox LIVE® Arcade game from Electronic Arts (NASDAQ: ERTS), explodes onto Xbox LIVE Arcade today. The game is a hypnotic rhythm music game conceived by EA’s Pogo.com™ casual games design team and developed by Bizarre Creations, the developer who brought fan-favorite Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved to Xbox LIVE Arcade. Boom Boom Rocket will be available for 800 Microsoft Points, first launching in the U.S., Canada, Europe, and is rated 3+ by PEGI. The game also will be available in the near future in Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Australia, and New Zealand. Players find their groove in Boom Boom Rocket, by triggering rockets to the beat of the music while traveling through a 3D cityscape. The fireworks are choreographed to 10 original tracks created by Ian Livingstone. Players can play in single player mode or go head-to-head against a friend on the same console, making it a perfect social game. Easy mode allows players to get comfortable with the controls while Endurance mode challenges the savviest of Boom Boom Rocket players with its intense speed and complexity of fireworks triggers. Loosen things up with the fun-for-all Freestyle Mode, or watch your favorite tunes light up the sky with the built-in Visualizer. “The joint effort between the Pogo.com creative team and the talented team at Bizarre Creations evolved the idea into what the game plays like today. Seeing people’s response to the game itself has been such a great experience – it’s what making games is all about,” said Spencer Brooks, EA’s Boom Boom Rocket Producer. “We’re so excited to give Xbox LIVE Arcade fans this new game and have had so much fun playing it ourselves – you can’t help but have fun playing this game.” The game features three modes of gameplay: Normal, Speed and multiplayer head-to-head. Each song is choreographed into three skill levels to ensure that everyone can join in the fun. Successfully chain fireworks to fill the bonus meter and activate the psychedelic bonus mode for extra points. Players can unlock new firework designs by mastering each music track. Players can utilise the connected online element and see how their scores compare with other players on the Boom Boom Rocket leaderboard.

Looks like a load of fun for 800pts.

I just loaded my account with 1000 MPoints.. to buy this... first Arcade game I'm going to buy. We shall see later today when I get the full version how it goes... but I'm so far addicted to the trial.

I'm interested in playing this, but I heard the 1up guys thought it sucked? I'm curious to see their reviews. Definitely going to download it tonight before I play some co-op gears. Gears + insane == challenge.

man this game iz hard as hell, i cant keep up, even on Easy mode

Yes... I approve. It's just as awesome as I'd hoped it would be. My sister and I played for 30 minutes together and it was a lot of fun. We'd just be like "OMG I'M MISSING" or "OH CRAP, LOST THE BEAT" and miss dozens at a time. Single player could get old.. but multiplayer is nice. And is has a download content, so apparently we'll get more songs. Visualizer is pretty sweet also, but that's just icing. Worth $10? Maybe not... they need to drop it to 600 MS points or something, then it'd definitely be worth it. Try the demo.. if you like it or have a sister/girlfriend that likes a DDR knockoff, buy.
