The sequel picks up the tale a couple of years later during Prisma City's general election. A mysterious (and ever-so-slightly familiar) priest called Papa Blanc is doing his utmost to rig the outcome of the vote, allowing his cult to wreck all manner of colour-related havoc on the metropolis. Duly, your trusty Blob steps up to save the day again.
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.
Nintendo Now Goes hands On With THQ's De Blob Underground for Wii At E3 2010
Looks like a nice paced game. You're not rushing through as fast as possible and you color things as you like. I'll definitely check out the first one just before I grab this one.
GameXplain Writes: "Amidst the bright lights lights and heaving bosoms that permeated the E3 2010 show floor was a modest demo tucked away at THQ's booth for a game that likely should be getting more buzz than it is, de Blob: The Underground. The first de Blob title was a runaway success for THQ, eventually surpassing 700,000 units worldwide and becoming one of THQ's biggest hits on the Wii. As such, a sequel to the colorfully quircky platformer seemed to be hotly anticipated among Wii fans. Or was it? The demo that I played at E3 had all of the magic of the first title, but with more focus and refinement, yet I've hardly heard anyone talking about it at this point."
I loved the first de Blob. It was a really good game. But I am getting this one for the PS3, since it should use Move (I can see it now, the sphere changes colors to reflect the paint color you are). As Stimpy always said: "OH JOOOYYYYY!!!"
