Boom Boom Rocket

"Boom Boom Rocket is an interesting idea that doesn't last quite long enough to justify its price tag."

"In the end, BBR is a neat semi-original endeavor that's a worthy addition to the empty musical annals of XBLA. It's ultimately a pretty shallow endeavor, but it's still worthy of your time, even if it's overpriced at $10. I know that sounds cheap, but honestly, we're not talking about Castlevania here. We're talking 10 songs. If there are only 10 songs here and there is the potential for more songs, will EA charge us for them? I cringe to think about it."

"We've got a bit of an Indian summer here, which has us sitting in the annual fireworks season a bit longer. It seems like from the end of May through until the end of August the night skies are consistently lit up by astonishing displays of pyrotechnic awe, and it feels like it should keep coming. Whether we're celebrating independence from remote tyranny or simply shooting off rockets for the local festival, Americans are in love with the colorful weapons of mock destruction. There's just something fascinating about fireworks."

"Bizarre tweaked the standard rhythm/matching archetype enough in Boom Boom Rocket to make it very enjoyable with the basic 360 peripheral. Bizarre also managed to make this XBLA title a visual treat; even more so than its immensely popular Geometry Wars. The tweaked classic tracks may not be for everyone, but at least they tie into the gameplay, making Boom Boom Rocket a very unique offering in the ever-surprising lineup of Xbox Live Arcade games."
