Yet another third-party game, but is it destined for greatness?

User Rating: 8.5 | de Blob WII
Ok so as many of you may or may not know, there are actually a lot of third-party games out there (games for the Wii that weren't made by Nintendo themselves). This is one of the first that I have actually had fun playing. Lets get into the review...

Graphics
~~~~~~~
The graphics in DeBlob, are to be put simply, quite nice. They are crisp and the animations well done. In all the time I have spent playing there has not been one second of lag. The colors are very nice looking - but only after you paint them, but that's the whole reason why your playing the game - to paint.

Sound
~~~~~~
The sound effects in DeBlob are very good. The Raydians (citizens of the world you play in), all sound happy and ready to party and your buddies have good sound effects too. When you talk to the professor he makes a high pitched kind of grumbling noise which is quite funny when you first hear it. There is no audio-dialogue, but as with most games on the Wii, no dialogue works a treat.

Game Play
~~~~~~~~~
Your main objective in DeBlob is to paint. This would get soooo boring, however, if it were not for all the other things to do as you paint. You can turn Graydians into Raydians, collect patterns to make buildings look different, try paint the blimp flying around, paint all the billboards and a hoard of other things. While you move around the city, you can complete missions to add to your score. The missions usually involve either beating up some baddies, painting a block of buildings in certain color/s or racing to a checkpoint.

You do have a time limit, but unless your trying to get all the achievement for each level you will probably never even notice it is there. I might add that trying to paint every single thing in the city is immensely hard. In one level, I got 99% of all things colored and I couldn't find the last one or two objects to paint. >_
