Nice; I just picked this up yesterday from the Best Buy sale for $15.  They apparently ran out of this one fast, but I found a copy somebody had abandoned near the checkout.

Yeah, I didn't realize they had this much UGC online.  With EA still making levels, this is a great game to own now.

I might get this game if I can find it when it is on sale sometime. The first game didn't impress me so I sold it, and it doesn't look like this sequel improved it, but I wouldn't mind having it for a budget price.

It's going for a decent price on Amazon, so I'm tempted to bite the bullet and pick it up. It sounds like great value for money, and I enjoyed the first Boom Blox for the time I rented it.
This update flew a bit out of nowhere to be honest -- I wasn't under the impression it had sold amazingly. Maybe the purpose of this influx of levels is for that very reason. EA could just be trying to get Bash Party into the hands of more people, and this seems like it would be enough of an incentive.

I'm actually curious about the sales of this game. The first one was a million-seller but I've never heard about how well this one performed. All I've found is the data from VGChartz which says it sold 120,000 copies, but that's as of June... plus it's VGChartz.

I'm getting it for christmas, the first one rules.

This might inspire me to pick this back up. I had a ball with it when I got it around its release.
