+ Bright colors are a wonderful escape from gritty realistic graphics; + Music is beautiful and sets you in a trance

De Blob is back in de Blob 2 and this time, he's in glorious hi-def! The sequel to one of the best third-party Wii launch titles takes the paint-laden gameplay of the first game and runs with it across a surprising array of huge levels.

Great; bizarre graphics with spectacular color; Fun painting gameplay and interesting puzzles; Tons of things to do in-game

Camera is absurdly sluggish; Measuring jumps can be challenging; Life and time limit seems out of place

Overall, I've found de Blob 2 utterly charming, instantly accessible and a refreshing take on the platform genre, largely due to its impressive fusion of colour and sound. Overall, I've also found it quite mentally challenging during some of the trickier sections later on in the game, which I didn't...

Impressive fusion of colour and sound; Challenging level design; The 2D platforming sections add some much needed variety

The timer on each level makes you rush; but the game is much more fun played at a leisurely pace; Some frustrating camera angles; Annoying tutorial pop-ups intrude too frequently

Carolyn Petit splashes some color on Prisma City in this video review for de Blob 2.

Restoring color to the world is rewarding; Great visuals and music create a joyous atmosphere; Smart; entertaining cutscenes; Combat is often good simple fun

Failure can result in having to replay long sections or entire levels; Targeting system can be frustrating when facing diverse groups of enemies; Some repetitive level design

Blob, that amorphous, paint-absorbing champion of the oppressed, has taken the fight for freedom to the DS. De Blob 2 shares its name with the new console game starring the titular hero, but the DS version is a unique side-scrolling platformer that offers wholly different gameplay while maintaining...

Blob is fun to control; Good level design; Humorous animated cutscenes and amusing dialogue; Cheery visuals and music

Offers little challenge; Disappointing final boss fight

De Blob 2, like its predecessor, is an undeniably cheerful, whimsical, and infectiously amusing venture that's impossible to dislike unless you're Ebenezer Scrooge (pre-spiritual epiphany, that is).

Undeniably charming; Satisfies compulsive tendencies; Creates a unique world for the eyes and ears

Too damn easy; Doesn't explore potential of coloring puzzles; Gets a bit repetitive after a while

If you were ever in any doubt as to whether the successor to Wii hit de Blob would be fashioned for adults or kids during its transition to 'grown-up' platforms, all you need do is check out the presentation.

In a world where post-apocalyptic, brown, desolate and boring worlds dominate game settings, it is refreshing and a bit surprising that a game all about colour can actually be a lot of fun. de Blob 2 is just such a game. De Game is de good!
