Different and Fun, Something Wii needs more of.
when you start off the story is a very cutsie style of sans voice acting and cartoon humor. Essentially you are a rather large living blob of paint. Your goal is to paint the city red, in a good kind of way, and save the residence of the city from INK.
Once into the actual gameplay your going to find the controls to be easy enough to paint those buildings and save the local folks. Issues do occur occasionally when you hit jumping components. Other wise it feels great to smash inkies with the downward thrust of the wii remote, and to bounce along painting builings, people, signs, and pretty much anything you want to any colour you choose.
Graphicly it is a wii game so dont expect GTA 4 HD, but it certainetly works in its own right. De Blob features a cartooney, and semi cell shadded look giving a great feel and sensation as you splattwer along the streets of this inked out town. In my own case i even dared to right my name by simply rolling about in an open square.
De Blob is a game i picked up just out of interest and currently i can say its one of my favorite games on the wii. If any one owns the wii, this is certainetly a simple and fun game to own. Keep in mind though the simplisity may not suite to the more hardcore. But for a simple good time this is the way to go, from the few hours i have logged so far.
And here's my update December 14th 2008, So now i have logged even more time into de Blob and find myself coming back to it again and again. From all the unlockables, and secrets, his game has alot to offer well after the main storyline is done.
Another impresssive aspect is de Blobs multiplayer. Now in my own case its a great way to pick up and play with my girlfriend competitively without either myself a long time gamer or her a casual gamer feeling like our practise or skill has any impact to the negative or positive effects as to winning or loosing.
The multiplayer modes contain 3 basics from a king of the hill paint as much as you can, where your opponents can steal, and block you on buildings. This is one of the better and by far my own favorite. And as always multiplayer with your buddies is great. Only thing i could have wished for would have been some small wifi matches so i continue once my friends are gone.
If you haven't picked this game up, and own a wii. Seriously you gotta try it, at least rent it the child in you will thank you.
