Preview: Boom Boom Rocket

Considering the colossal success of Geometry Wars, it’s probably no surprise that there’s a high amount of interest for Bizarre Creation’s next XBLA title Boom Boom Rocket.

But apart from particle-spilling firework displays and a thumping electronic soundtrack Rocket has very little in common with the Arcade frontrunner. Essentially, it’s a bit of a DDR clone with coloured arrows scrolling across the screen, reaching a horizontal line at the top where you’re supposed to press the corresponding buttons and set off some pretty fireworks. All the while the camera is navigating a tranquil night time city scene, including Sydney Harbour and New York look-a-likes.
