Boom Boom Rocket revealed

360 News | New EA title coming to XBLA from Bizarre Creations.
EA has confirmed that Boom Boom Rocket, a new IP developed by Project Gotham Racing 3 creator Bizarre Creations, will be coming to the XBox Live Arcade.

Boom Boom Rocket is a rhythm music game in which players trigger rockets to the beat of the music whilst travelling through a 3D cityscape. The better the explosion is timed, the more spectacular the fireworks effects. The fireworks are choreographed to ten original tracks created by Ian Livingstone. Players can play in single player mode or go head-to-head against a friend on the same console.

“As one of the worldwide leaders in game publishing, EA has long recognized the power of on-demand, online entertainment,” said Chris Early, Product Unit Manager for Xbox Live Arcade and Microsoft Casual Games. ”We’re honored that EA has chosen Xbox Live Arcade as the platform for their first-ever downloadable game for console game players and are excited to make Boom Boom Rocket available to the millions of Xbox Live Arcade players around the world.”

“Boom Boom Rocket is an addictive and original challenge for all types of gamer, and we're enjoying working with EA to create this unique Xbox Live Arcade experience”, said Martyn Chudley, Managing Director of Bizarre Creations. “Our teams love both working and playing on Xbox Live Arcade, and we're looking forward to releasing another innovative title on this platform with Boom Boom Rocket.”

The game features three modes of gameplay: Normal, Speed and multiplayer head-to-head. Each song will be choreographed into three skill levels. If you successfully chain fireworks together, you'll fill the bonus meter and activate a bonus mode.

I'm not sure how original it will be, it is a rhythm music game after all.
