de Blob Review: No Boy Included This Time (TrueGameHeadz)

2.0 from TrueGameHeadz writes:

"Revolution has always been a great theme for video games. Why wouldn't it be? Good versus evil; the oppressed rising up against the oppressor; underdogs overthrowing the controlling regime. Who would have thought that idea would have translated so well to a game staring a blob? Not just any blob though, it's "de Blob," from THQ's new Wii title about a ball of liquid committed to bringing color back to a monochrome world. While the plot may sound a bit out there, the game play, and shear entertainment factor make it easily one of the best Wii titles to date.

Imagine how bland a black and white world would be. Now, imagine if there was a group that sucked all the color out of the world, and made everything that was fun dull and boring. That's where de Blob comes in. It's on a mission to take down the Inkt Corporation who have turned its' world into a monochrome hell, and imprisoned all of the world's inhabitants, the Raydians, and turned them..."

The game looks a littler weird ... but also like a lot of fun. Anything described as a reverse katamari sounds good to me.

Im def’ having fun with this game! and another cool aspect of it is it’s use of music. as you start painting buildings and objects the music builds up adding different layers of instruments and beats. Plus when you change the color of de blob, it also acts as a different sound selection for the music. For instance if there’s a jazzy rhythm going on and you turn to the color brown, what ever you paint you add a turntable scratch sample to the music that’s playing. it’s sorta hard to explain and def’ something you have to hear to appreciate. it def’ takes the soundtrack in a videogame to whole other level! This game is def worth the purchase.

Zeref2327d ago (Edited 2327d ago )

Yeah and i get almost 200 other games for the same price.

EasilyTheBest2328d ago

Wow can't believe Shadow of The Tomb Raider and Crackdown 3 this month. I only just bought an Xbox One X a month ago and have only played Forza Horizon 4 and Quantum Break...
Is it only me who drives around in Forza just looking at the scenary and looking in shop Windows? The attention to detail is insane....

Marioraider182328d ago

Says the guy who said "I for one was going to hold off buying an Xbox One X, but after the recent news about playing Xbox 360 games and Original Xbox games at 4k I have changed my mind, I will be buying one day one.
I missed out on this gen my last console was an Xbox 360."

EasilyTheBest2327d ago

That is true, due to personal circumstances I had to hold off buying one but I eventually got a gold rush edition of the Xbox One X early this January.. Hope this is OK with you...

Bronxs152328d ago

I’m the kind of gamer that stops in uncharted and god of war just to admire graphics. I never thought I’d be doing that in a race game as well. Forza on the x is simply amazing looking. Heck I stop mid race to look at my car and the lighting and environment like trees in fall or stone bed rivers in spring and just say I gotta stop and look I’ll restart the race!

EasilyTheBest2327d ago

Yes I'm constantly stopping and changing camera positions to look out the side of car etc
Looking through shop and house windows like a peeping Tom.
The scenary is so varied. Just bought Fortune Island today and don't mind one bit as its certainly worth it..

Bronxs152327d ago

Yes see how good the environments /open world are in Forza has me really excited for their rumoured open world rpg. Can’t wait to see what they do...

monkey6022328d ago

Shadow of the TR came around fast! Might actually try it now

Livingthedream2328d ago

This is the only one I haven't played, was waiting for a big sale, this makes it so much more convenient. I say this a lot, the value of gamepass is just incredible.

Vasto2328d ago

Xbox Game Pass is too good!

Xbox Live Deals With Gold and Spotlight Sale Details: 4th-10th September 2018

Neil writes: "If you were on the hunt for a bargain over the last seven days, then you would have found that the Xbox Live Deals With Gold sale was accompanied by a rather awesome Capcom sale. Providing tons of games at low low prices, it was a great way to stock up on digital titles for those rainy days. Now though the Xbox Live Deals With Gold and Spotlight Sale is back again and this time round a new set of Xbox titles are smacked with the discount stick, all alongside some Bandai Namco bargains. What are they? Well, this little lot should see you right."
