Did anyone else really enjoy this title?
I thought it was different and unique.
Pretty decent platformer to play until SMG2 or New Super Mario Bros Wii.

It's decent...Me being stupid, I bought it for 50.00$...month later or so, i found it on ebay for like 25!

Every once in awhile i pop it in, just to play free play and color buildings. I personally would give it like a 7.5 or 8...

Yes, quite different and unique. Good but not great, perhaps becoming a litle bit repetative as the game wore on. It also made me feel slightly motion sick for some reason. That never happened to me before when playing games.

De Blob. Definitely the Wii title of 2008 and easily one of the best titles of the entire year from any console. Bar none. Just awesome! I'd love as many people as possible to play it! I emplore anyone who reads this thread and hasn;t played it to go out and purchase this underrated masterpiece!

If you're curious, it was only narrowly beaten out by the last-minute entrant of The World Ends With You. :P

It's good, but the saves are way to far apart.

I agree with this. There should have been alot more oppurtunity to set the game down if you felt like it, instead you just had to keep pluggin even if you didn't feel like it, or pause for long preiods of time. The only negative is that it's a bit repetetive, but otherwise it's a very unique game with alot of soul that should be played.

de Blob is a terrific game with some nice innovation, especially on how the music works. It will be interesting to see what changes are made in de Blob 2. I think everyone who has played it wants checkpoints, though.

I played it, loved the game world, the characters, the presentation, the multiplayer, everything. But I feel the game could do a lot to keep itself more fresh. I got quite bored of it, and would leave it alone for long stretches before returning to it.

Galaxy was the opposite, and I think this had much to do with a game world that was more linear and smaller, which I feel works better for platformers. I dont know. I dont think de Blob would benefit from taking Galaxy's example, but something needs to happen to liven it up if a sequel is ever made.

It's a great game, but mapping the jump to waggle was probably one of the worst development decisions ever.

One of the most original titles I've played in a while. Visuals were beautiful and the soundtrack was by far amazing.

Hey there's nothing wrong with voicing appreciation for someone who has a publically printed opinion when they choose two most excellent yet underated games of 2008 as goty candidates. When it comes to de Blob and The World Ends With You I stand by my decision. You keep rocking Gabu. Don't listen to this fool ;P

And you know, I am going to completely agree with this statement. De Blob was near perfect and my favorite game of 2008, but I did hate having to swing up to jump. It was forced and unnecessary. Thank god it wasn't a game breaker.

Wholeheartedly agree. Imo, De Blob is a little overrated on this board. It's in no way a bad game, and was quite clever and unique at the beginning, but once the novelty wears off it's really pretty repetitive. And the length of time between saves forced me to keep playing long after I was ready to quit.

Great game but the levels are really long - well, they take me a while to finish because I try to do everything.

This. Also the fact they wouldn't let you change the control layout for the game hampered my enjoyment with the game. I still haven't finished it. It also needed to be voiced. Still, it is one of the best platformers on the Wii and definitely worth the asking price of $20-30.

great game..well worth a play. my only real gripe with the game is that it uses waggle for jumping. i would have preffed a buttons for jumping to be honest. but great game overall..well worth a play.

Totally like the Katamari games (which I loved), only rolling up things is still way more fun than painting things.

Oh! Okay nm then. I thought you were dissing my praising of Gabu lol. Yeah I don't know why but I do that haha. And I almost agree with you. TWEWY is SO good that either of the two titles are good for me as goty. I own them both and couild never get enough of them.
