Boom Boom Rocket Launches on Live Arcade - Xbox 360

EA's first Xbox Live Arcade title has launched in the US today. Titled Boom Boom Rocket, this quirky little arcade romp will set you back 800 Microsoft Points when it launches in Australia "sometime in the near future".

Without further ado, here's an extract from the press release sent to us today:

Players find their groove in Boom Boom Rocket, by triggering rockets to the beat of the music while traveling through a 3D cityscape. The fireworks are choreographed to 10 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, making it a perfect social game. Easy mode allows players to get comfortable with the controls while Endurance mode challenges the savviest of Boom Boom Rocket players with its intense speed and complexity of fireworks triggers. Loosen things up with the fun-for-all Freestyle Mode, or watch your favorite tunes light up the sky with the built-in Visualizer.

"The joint effort between the Pogo.com creative team and the talented team at Bizarre Creations evolved the idea into what the game plays like today. Seeing people's response to the game itself has been such a great experience - it's what making games is all about," said Spencer Brooks, EA's Boom Boom Rocket Producer. "We're so excited to give Xbox LIVE Arcade fans this new game and have had so much fun playing it ourselves - you can't help but have fun playing this game."
