Not entirely sure why the other thread was closed down, but here goes. Semi-official threadness right here.


SoooooOOooo, what do you guys think of this? I have to admit I think it's a bit rubbish myself. It doesn't LOOK particularly exciting (I'd so have prefered a more abstract approach to the backgrounds.. as it is it looks like the screen a local TV channel puts on in the middle of the night when there's nothing left to show) and the gameplay never feels intuitive enough to be relaxing.

The basicest of rythm games, and it's essentially just a super simple attempt at an old formula with uninspired visuals.

To me anyway.

Go on, tell me how wrong/right I am!

Well I tried it out today and I must say I enjoyed quite a bit but somehow I dont feel like it's worth buying. It's not as addictive as Geometry Wars. it was fun at first but after a while it sort of grew old and like Simon said it's the simplest of rythm games and there's really not much depth. it was good fun though for the few minutes it lasted.

LOL at that Simon tv thing! you're spot on there, I felt like sleeping looking at that wallpaper :D

Dammit dammit dammit I am 4th on the Hall of the Mountain Dude (Hard) leaderboards but I KNOW I can get top spot!

Perhaps my addiction to this game is because I haven't played many rhythm games since Parappa the Rapper until now. I still keep meaning to pick up Elite Beat Agents but haven't got round to it....

Still I think it's great :)

Like Crackdown, it's very much a love or hate game. I love it, many hate it.

Try it for free is the best way to find out I say. I spent an hour trying to top the leaderboard on one song earlier. It's possible I'm just sad but I was having fun at the time!

I enjoyed the demo but I can see it getting a little old. It may be basic but I thought the hard track on the demo was fairly challenging -- and there seems to be a good deal of variety in gameplay modes etc.

I think the problem with the length is pretty obvious though. There are only what.. ten tracks? In a game like Parappa or Gitarooman the lack of variety in the music is more than made up for by the character and charm those games bring to the table.. this game on the other hand is completely lacking in that respect.

I also thought the visuals were pretty decent, especially when you hit the bonus. The backgrounds do seem pretty drab though. I also think the game would be a good deal easier if the notes hit the same spot every time.. a yellow note can hit on the very right side of the screen just as easily as the left. I think I'm more acustomed to a little more consistancy in my rhythm games.

Ultimately I don't see this getting my 800 points, at least not yet. I'll put tphat money towards GH2 instead.. which despite the huge price difference seems like a better value to me. 70 tracks and a special controller more than make up for that.. at least for me.

Didn't think it was "rubbish" personally.. and for 10 dollars I'm not sure we can expect much more.

I played it and I can now say that Boom Boom rocket is an overpriced average game.

I don't know if you notice deftangel this thread here: http://xboxyde.com/forum_8_19109_1_en.html

Anyways, Frets on Fire is a MUCH better game and it costs you nothing at all. Again, that's a problem with Live Arcade, and it will just keep on disappointing if they keep on bringing this overpriced and average games which you can easily substitute on PC for free. It's a shame really.

Boom Boom if ok.......for 5 bux....and if it had AT LEAST 20 tracks. The two tracks in the demo are pretty damn boring, so that leaves you with what? 8 tracks? That may be very personal, but that's why you put more tracks in there. 10 is very mediocre imo.

Oh well, I'll just get back to Frets on Fire :D

as big fan of Space Channel 5 and Samba de Amigo I gave it a try (I also learned how to play the drums for a few years so I happen to have a little advantage when it comes to rhythm games).

But I was quite dissapointed. Deleted it after 4 mins. 800 points is way too much.

On a side note to Bizarre: dump that overused "Serpentine-D-Bol" font already, it's everywhere!

And I'm full of rage, I was hoping for CATAN y'day . .... oh my

Played two rounds, both levels of the demo. I breezed through the easier of the two on my first try, and quickly went down in flames on the other. Definitely not my type of game.

Im actually having a lot of fun with it. Granted its the first "rhythm" game that I have ever owned but Iv still played it a lot more than some other XBLA games that I bought. Some of the songs on hard are really freakin challenging.

I'm enjoying the demo quite alot I must say, but that 800pts price tag is keeping me from a purchase! 400 and it would be mine, no doubt.

I think the music is good enough but I agree that the graphics aren't that spectacular. I was expecting alot more looking at GWars'.

Overall I think it's a great game but I'm not getting it while it costs £6.80 and there are games just like it out there for free!
