Gameplay: de Blob's Primary Goal
de Blob is a 3D platformer where players use the Wii Remote/Nunchuck combo to maneuver their hero, de Blob. Equal parts amorphous blob of paint, struggling artist, revolutionary and juvenile delinquent, de Blob's goal is to replace the drab, lifeless gray coloring that the I.N.K.T. Corporation has imposed on Chroma City and its inhabitants, the Raydians, with a range of vibrant life-giving colors, all the while avoiding and battling the gray-clad forces of the Inkies.

Players must acquire paint and hurl de Blob at the buildings, walls, statues, roads and skies above Chroma City. As de Blob bounces around, adding color wherever he lands, his supply of paint is depleted and he begins to dry out. As this happens players must collect more paint and rehydrate in pools and in front of hydrants scattered across the city. As the game starts access is limited to the colors red, blue and yellow, but these can be blended to create a number of other colors. Being able to create and apply these colors becomes important as Chroma City and its inhabitants come to life, and de Blob makes contact with a range of other characters known as the 'Color Revolutionaries' and receives an increasing amount of missions that charge him with splattering color all over town. Success at these mission gains the player point which drives the game forward, eventually leading to a direct assault on Comrade Black's I.N.K.T. fortress guarded by elite Inky soldiers and massive ink turrets.

Key Game Features:

• de Blob - Flip, bounce and paint your way past the all-powerful I.N.K.T. Corporation to launch a revolution and save Chroma City from a future without vibrant color.
• Long Live Color! - Join the Color Revolutionaries in the resistance against the evil Comrade Black and his diabolical array of hot plates, electric shocks, and ink turrets.
• Free the Citizens - Free your friends from a black and white world by dodging ink cannons, flattening I.N.K.T. tanks and outsmarting Inky soldiers.
• Save your City - Remix Chroma City’s towering skyscrapers, expansive bridges and massive landmarks in your own style using custom paints, patterns and soundtracks.
• Make a Mess - Super-size your blob as you splash, spray, and splatter everything you touch in sprint, race and combat challenges.
• Multiplayer - Compete for control as ink levels rise and wind cannons fire in eight multiplayer-specific gameplay modes.

Paint Match - Paint as many buildings as possible and steal points from opponents by re-painting the buildings that they've already covered.

Blob on the Run - A variation of 'Capture the Flag,' in this mode only one blob can paint and is pursued by opponents who attempt to slam him into submission and gain the ability to paint and accumulate points themselves.

Blob Race - In this mode buildings can only be painted once and are indicated by in-game arrow. With time limited it's a race not only to paint the town but also to keep opponents from doing the same.

Rating: - DeBlob
I got this as a gift for my boyfriend and he loves it. It's cute so I like watching it and I guess the story keeps him entertained. He constantly finds more things to like about it. Wish I could say more, but I don't actually play video games!

Rating: - Save Point Torture
I gave up playing after an hour, my five year old daughter gave up even faster. My wife on the other hand is investing a lot of time and getting nowhere due to the lack of save points. After a couple hours she finally relents and loses how far she did advance, all because the ridiculously large gaps between save points.
Sorry kiddos, we have jobs, and the time after work shouldn't be 100% sucked into de Blob. It's so close to being an overall good game, but eventually the pain of the "do over" is going to take this game out of play rotation.

Rating: - Great Title for Ages 8 and Under
The art in this game is amazing, it works very well, everything is smooth and the operation of the game is really simple in controls. The story is pretty simple as well, the bad guys took all the color in the city and it's the job of a few little guys to restore it. The wii-mote works pretty well with a simple swinging motion to smash the bad guys which isn't too violent. The game is pretty easy on the lower challenges but it is not a puzzle game and the music is pretty cool.

My nephew is 10, and he loves this game! He said it is great-now my 2 10year old daughters want it too! They played it all day on Christmas, so I know it was a hit!

Rating: - de BLOB is de BOMB
I read the game description (thinking either that it was a little without depth or was intended for smaller children) and bought it anyway before renting it first because of the reviews it had gotten - always a scary thing to do. But I am so pleased with this game that it has quickly moved up to my #1 favorite. Yes, I am 35 and I still play video games. In story mode, it takes you city through city, and you rescue graylings by tagging or coloring all the buildings in a block. Some are pretty tricky, making it a good puzzle game for adults. The controls, although awkward at first, quickly became seemlessly natural. And the music is so ambient that POOF - 45 minutes go by and you wonder how that could be possible. I also like how it unlocks new background music as you complete levels and ... Read More
