Spielberg game named, due in May - first trailer inside

The first game to come out from the epic duo of Electronic Arts and Steven Spielberg is slated to hit shelves in May, and the two announced yesterday that it will now unfortunately be known as Boom Blox. Boom Blox is an exclusive puzzle game for the Wii that will have "more than 300 levels, a cast of more than thirty wacky characters, and an easy-to-use in-game editor."

Here's more info on the game from EA's press release:

"Fun for kids and the entire family, BOOM BLOX offers action-packed interactive activities that takes Wii play to a new level of creativity and fun with single player, co-op, and versus gameplay. Players can experience the visceral gameplay - perfectly suited for the Wii's interactive motion-sensitive controls - through brain-twisting challenges. They can interact with entertaining characters such as the block-laying chickens or baseball-throwing monkeys across four themed environments - Tiki, Medieval, Frontier, and Haunted. Additionally, players can remix any level of the game in Create Mode using props, blocks, or characters that have been unlocked during the game. Players can also virtually build anything they can dream up. Plus, their designs can then be shared with friends or used to challenge others to solve their newly created puzzle via WiiConnect24."

In addition to the press release, EA also sent out the first Boom Blox trailer. Watch the Jenga-like things below, then feel free to share your thoughts in the comments.
