Summary

Boom Boom Rocket is a downloadable video game for Xbox 360's Xbox Live Arcade service. Boom Boom Rocket marks the first rhythm action title for the Live Arcade service and was developed by Geometry Wars creators Bizarre Creations and published by the Pogo division of Electronic Arts. It costs 800 Microsoft Points ($10 US) and is not currently available in Australia, Japan, Korea, New Zealand, Singapore or Taiwan.

Gameplay

In Boom Boom Rocket, players both solo and multiplayer are made to trigger rockets to the rhythm of the game's soundtrack - provided by Batman Returns and Project Gotham Racing 2 game composer Ian Livingstone - as they move through a 3D cityscape.

Different colored rockets are mapped to different buttons of the Xbox 360's controller, with skillful explosions leading to score multipliers, new firework effect unlocks, and a 'psychedelic bonus mode'.

In addition to the main game modes, Boom Boom Rocket will also ship with its own music visualizer mode, with fireworks displays timed to the rhythm of audio files from a player's console.

Track List

There are a total of ten music tracks in the game, with three difficulty levels per track. Each track is a remixed classical song updated with a techno rhythm. The songs are as follows:

  • 1812 Overdrive
  • Hall of the Mountain Dude
  • Toccata and Funk
  • Game Over Beethoven
  • Carmen Electric
  • Valkyries Rising
  • Smooth Operatta
  • Rave New World
  • Tail Light Sonata
  • William Tell Overload

While users cannot create their own custom soundtracks or utilize music from other sources, downloadable content (including new tracks) is definitely possible, depending on user demand.
