– Sequel was born almost immediately after the first Boom Blox was done with development – Producer Amir Rahimi: “There was so much enthusiasm and rolling into new ideas that I could hardly stop them from doing a sequel.”
– Bash Party is similar to the first game
– Wii exclusive
– Can share levels online
– Does not use friend codes – download + upload levels through EA’s servers
– Download, rate, remix, upload levels – “With the push of one button, you can send [a level you create] to EA and we will broadcast it to the world”
– Slingshot effect – Use Wiimote to grab object on screen, pull it back, let it go and it will fly
– Shooting “has taken a backseat in the sequel”
– Head-tracking not in Bash Party
– No MotionPlus support – dev team didn’t receive it in time to use it
– 400 new levels (none recycled from first game)
– New environments (space and underwater)
– New block shapes (cylinders and ramps)
– Integration of first game’s characters as blocks themselves
– No plans for a Boom Blox movie

However, a few recent findings relating to the game may indicate that the game is in no trouble at all. The copyright date from Kizuna has been updated to 2009 and there have been two website notices in the past few days to let fans know that a blog and forum have opened.
