chick chick BOOM

chick chick BOOM is a unique and fun turn-based action game. It's easy to start and has a surprising amount of depth.

It was a pretty simple game before, but tons of bits has turned chick chick BOOM into a very hectic and enjoyable download title. If you plan of playing multiplayer it's a no-brainer, but even solo players will find a good deal of entertainment here. Now let's hope they plan on retooling their other game for WiiWare as well!

The Wii’s motion controls are generally acknowledged as one of the most important interface developments in the industry, but the kinds of games they make possible are still being determined. Chick Chick Boom is an odd little Frankenstein’s monster of a game, built around using the Wii-mote to trace the plants, bombs, or weights with which you attack your enemies. You have a team of five Angry Birds-esque chicks, whom you try to defend as you attack the enemy’s team in phased combat. The back-and-forth action has notable depth, with various special attacks, healing, defense sabotaging, and unlockables, but it lacks a strong initial hook to grab players and make them stick around to see that the depth is there…

chick chick BOOM is fast and furious at the outset but slows down way too soon and way too abruptly. It's fun if a bit lacking. But hey, you get to murder baby chickens, so that's gotta count for something, right?
