Steven Spielberg, a man known for his films and directorial style, makes this game... It's indescribable. It's like Jenga. You know? The game with wooden blocks? But it isn't that. It's like Rush Hour. The car game where you move the other cars to escape. But it doesn't have cars. How does a man who made such stunning films make a game like this? How? HoW! The name. Boom Blox. Boom. Blox. Boom signifies an explosion. A blast of some sort. Does it infer to dynamite? Perhaps a nuclear blast? No... The other word. Blox. Now, what could blox be? It isn't in the Merriam-Webster dictionary. Wait, I get it now. It must have something to do with Roblox. Roblox has the word Blox inside its name. But what do both games have in common? They have one thing in common. The shape we call a cube. Cubes... Blocks? Blox? Blocks? Blox? Blocks? They sound similar. Wait a minute. Was Spielberg trying to inder that blox is actually.... blocks? How couldn't I have seen it sooner? No wonder the characters were shaped like a cube. They are BLOCKS! Such genius! The combination of an explosion and blocks seem to be quite a spectacle. But Spielberg has a reason for doing this. He is an Oscar-award winning director after all. Does this have to do with being a director? But how would exploding blocks have to do with directing? Wait... Who is a director that is known for creating the explosions of blocks? MICHAEL BAY. Is this in fact a letter to Michael Bay? Of course, it isn't a coincidence that Steven Spielberg served as the Executive Producer of the Michael Bay-directed film, Transformers. And it is not strange that Transformers came out in 2007 while this came out in 2008? This is a love letter. This game was a celebration of their collaboration. A triumph of Bay's directorial style. Spielberg directly shows that he has passed his torch to Bay. Bay is his successor. This game was for Bay. Overall, the game was a 4/5.
