de Blob 2
SCORE: 92
I love sequels. I really do. I enjoy
getting back into a universe, and seeing all the new stuff. I love
getting more levels of something I enjoyed playing. THQ has assisted me
by publishing de blob 2. They expanded this game in a plethora of ways.
My favorite is de blob 2 is on the Xbox 360, and Playstation 3 as well
as the Wii and Nintendo DS. If you want a comparison, well the Xbox
360/Playstation 3 versions are better than the Wii version. They include
more levels, enemy classes, and a Co-op multiplayer (to name a few).
The graphics are very artistic in de blob 2. In fact I actually enjoy
art now thanks to this franchise. Getting to roll around and paint the
drab areas is a lot of fun. The patterns that can be collected as well
as custom paints are some neat visual features in de blob 2. Buildings
accept color quickly which makes a timed game even better. The violent
content in de blob 2 is squashing enemy characters. They get back up so
this is at the level of Looney Tunes in my opinion.
Are you ready to laugh? You better be if you start to play de blob 2.
There is a lot of humor in this game. Much of this comes from little cut
scene movies. I am very discerning, and I was laughing at numerous
points. These characters may have limited body parts, but they are used
in comic genius. I wonder if one of the comedians from Bananas was hired
for this area of the game. The music fits the game, and enhances this
home console game nicely. The special effect sounds work well too.
THQ is similar to Nintendo in terms of bonus content. They put the bar
so high that I can barely even see it. I spent hours in levels and still
did not find every hidden item. There are various modes, and difficulty
settings. We were provided a reviewable copy of de blob 2, and I believe
this game is worth the price of admission. For those familiar with our
reviews know I purchased the first game, and was not disappointed. de
blob 2 takes every thing good from the first, and adds to it.
The controls are as smooth as silk in de blob 2. Moving around levels is
very easy. The hard part can be to find all the buildings in certain
areas. Or figuring out how to get to the next section. The side
scrolling levels are a lot of fun, and add a little spice to the game
play. I had a lot of fun playing de blob 2. Bringing color back to a
drab world is a great idea, and getting to be creative adds to it.
de blob 2 is everything a sequel should be. This game encourages
exploration, creativity, and coloring. THQ has made coloring cool for
adults. I hope this franchise goes for the three-peat. It was my
personal pleasure and joy to be able to play and review de blob 2. The
main character frees so many enslaved against their will into a
colorless world. I can run numerous parallels to how Jesus freed me from
slavery.
