With de Blob garnering much success on the Nintendo Wii, it's no surprise that THQ and developer Blue Tongue are currently working on a sequel. By incorporating side-scrolling levels into the mix as well as reworking the game's controls, it seems as if 'team de Blob' is really trying to push an improved sequel onto the market in 2011.
The basic structure of de Blob 2 is a Platform game that lies somewhere between Mario’s 3D outings and the Katamari franchise. Players take direct control of our hero, Blob, guiding him through a number of 3D worlds in an effort to halt the evil plans of Comrade Black and bring colour back to the world. The traditional 3D control system – movement on the left analog stick and camera positioning on the right – offers a tactile and responsive grasp over Blob’s fluid motion, with the only minor frustration coming from the occasionally stubborn camera movement.
de Blob 2 is an action puzzle title set to deliver a fun-filled, creative gameplay experience for players of all ages, featuring new moves, more friends, and free-form painting activities.
