With Boom Boom Rocket available now and Wing Commander Arena on the way, EA has thrown its proverbial hat into the Xbox Live Arcade ring. It looks like EA is planning to be in for the long haul, as the company has launched an official site dedicated to Xbox Live Arcade projects. Right now, the only games spotlighted are Boom Boom Rocket and Wing Commander Arena, though there are two vacant spots left. So, expect at least two more titles from EA to land on the Arcade. The site also hosts forums and allows users to sign up for email
Is anyone out there enjoying Boom Boom Rocket so far?

Boom Boom Rocket is fun, but I can't decide if I should plunk down 800 points on it or not. I work hard for those points, you know!

I find it quite addictive! Play the demo a bunch and see.

I like these goofy rythym games and I think BBR is a blast.
I didn't expect it to be less than 800 points- the 400 level is, apparently, reserved strictly for retro titles these days. More importantly, I think it's well worth $8 of my hard-earned money.

Boom Boom Rocket was a game I took a chance on. The demo was fun and all, but the difficulty kinda made me think twice before I bought it. I decided to go ahead and purchase it and I have been addicted to it ever since.
Definitely don't buy before you try, but it really is a solid title and it's challenging enough to keep you coming back for more.

I downloaded the full version. I didn't get to play too much, but it seems aight so far.
I really wish they used popular songs/beats as the music though. I played about 4 songs and neither of them sounded too familiar or even any good. That's a big disappointment.

I'm with #1 but I've only played it the once to be honest.
...And I still haven't got Catlevania yet.

At #5...
They are classical masterpieces remixed and you don't recognize them? Not hating at you, I just find that odd, maybe as generations continue the classics will simply cease to exist.

I got BBR because I was hoping it would be as addictive as Geo Wars. I'm a bit dissapointed with it. It would be better if the songs weren't techno remixes and if there were more. It really is DDR with out a dance pad, and I don't even like DDR.

I bought it after my first gameplay. And I enjoy it indeed.

I like the fact that its cheap compared to other rythym games, you don't look like a fool playing it and you don't have a guitar or pair of drums or something that's gonna take up a lot of space and collect dust.
BBR is perfect for me and I've been enjoying it a huge amount since I bought it on Wednesday.
And I can see myself still playing this in months and months to come. Personally, it is my favourite arcade game release yet.

You Americans are so bloody lucky! I had to pay £8.50 ($18) for the 1,000 ms points to buy this!
It's not fair that we have to pay twice as much for these things! Not only does America have one of the highest GDP's in the world, but it's worth twice as much as well...

Anyone tried it with a DDR Pad yet? Seems like it would work, as the D-pad can be used instead of ABXY.
