Boom Boom Rocket fuels for blast off

Electronic Arts and Bizzare Creations, the developer behind Project Gotham Racing 3 for the Xbox 360 and Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved to Xbox Live Arcade, announced today a new Xbox Live Arcade game set for a spring 2007 release. In Boom Boom Rocket, "players trigger rockets to the beat of the music while traveling through a 3D cityscape. The better the player times the explosions, the more spectacular the fireworks effects. 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.

The game features three modes of gameplay: Normal, Speed and multiplayer head-to-head. Each song is choreographed into three skill levels to ensure that everyone can join in the fun. Successfully chain fireworks to fill the bonus meter and activate the psychedelic bonus mode for extra points. Players can unlock new firework designs by mastering each music track. You can also utilize the connected online element and see how their scores compare with other players on the Boom Boom Rocket leaderboard."
