Boom Boom Rocket

Boom Boom Rocket is a downloadable video game for Xbox 360's Xbox Live Arcade service. Boom Boom Rocket marks the first rhythm game for the Live Arcade service and was developed by Geometry Wars creators Bizarre Creations and published by the Pogo division of Electronic Arts. It is not currently available in Japan, Korea, Singapore or Taiwan.

Gameplay

The object of Boom Boom Rocket is to trigger fireworks explosions in time with music, in a gameplay style very similar to that of Dance Dance Revolution and Guitar Hero. Each rocket is color-mapped to one of the colored buttons on the Xbox 360 controller. A life gauge, which also serves as a score multiplier meter, fills with each successful shot and drains with each missed shot, and players are graded on overall hit accuracy. If the life meter drains completely, the player fails the song and the game is over. Each song has three unlockable firework types, one for each difficulty level. If the player successfully triggers a prescribed number of fireworks a rocket with a wavy tail appears. If this special rocket is triggered, the firework is unlocked and it will randomly replace other firework types on subsequent songs. If the rocket with the wavy tail is missed, or the song is not completed, the firework type remains locked.

Boom Boom (Rye Rye song)

"Boom Boom" is a song by American recording artist, Rye Rye. It serves as the fourth single from her debut album, Go! Pop! Bang!. It was released to iTunes via Interscope Records on March 6, 2012. The chorus is a cover of "Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom" by Vengaboys. A music video, incorporating video game motifs, was released on March 22, 2012.

The song was received well by reviewers, who compared the music video and lyrics to the works of Usher and Nicki Minaj. Shortly after its release, the song peaked at number 8 on Billboard's Hot Dance Club Songs chart.

Composition

"Boom Boom" is an electro hop song with elements of dance-pop and rap The chorus samples a riff from the Hi-NRG song "Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom" by Vengaboys. The song employs pop hooks and a "feather-light" electropop earworm.

Critical reception

"Boom Boom" received positive reviews. Rap-Up called "Boom Boom" fun, flirty, and a dance floor-ready delight. Sam Lansky of MTV's Buzzworthy congratulated Rye Rye on the inclusion of Vengaboy's smash hit of a similar title, elevating it above her work with Robyn in "Never Will Be Mine" and the Far East Movement's "Jello". Lansky called the song, "a contemporary radio confection, complete with layers of Atari blips and bloops alongside "Ay!" callouts evoking Usher's "Love in This Club." Lansky closed the critique by lauding the video game music samples, calling "Boom Boom" Rye Rye's glossiest and hippest song to date. Jeff Benjamin, a blogger for Billboard, praised how the sampling of Vengaboy, combined with the youthful delivery of her rap lyrics rescued "Boom Boom" from becoming another generic pop song. Benjamin also dubbed the song as fun and appealing, confessing that the song has the potential to convert an entirely new audience to her sound.
