If only the developers hadn't had this brain fart of jumping by swinging the wiimote... in a platformer where imprecise jumping is ANNOYING AS HELL! Fortunately they fixed that in the Sequel.
I bought this game a few weeks ago when I bought my Wii, and I love it! The grapics and colors (and designs in those colors) are wonderful! The music is great. I would like to see a sequel.
This was originally a computer game. It was Dutch, made by a team of 9 artists. It was kinda the same, but this is quite a bit better. You can get De Blob (original, in English) from indiegames(dot)com.
AJETT splatoon is a great looking game with an original idea. deblob is a great looking game with an original idea. cod is a great looking game with the same exact story and game play shoved down your throat and a cringey fan base to boot
playing this game now in 2016, it really holds up well. looks great and there really is no game like it, but it does get old quickly and the camera has a few issues
So far as I found, the only negative is the fact that you CAN'T save your progress during the game since it's time based. You must complete the stage for it to save.
i like the fact that even though this guy has the most coverage on the blob, even has the record to prove it, he still was able to say "while i do like this game, it still has it's flaws". shows how professional he is
And sold! I'll have de blob by the end of the week! Dunno where Id be without ya Matt - Ive been trusting you for what feels like a decade now and youve never steered me wrong! Youve saved me a lot of money. With these costs it makes sense to rely on a like minded game reviewer and I definatly did go wrong when I found you! TOP bloke!
i love this game. it reminds me of crazy taxi with the whole "quick get from point a to point b in this much time without dying a horrible death" type of challenges
@MamaLuigiBarrelRoll Yeh but the same game on another console (if it's multiplatform) is most likely to be cheaper.. You can always buy it way cheaper from eBay, what I like to do :D
Both :D I got my wii sport resort with motion plus and I can't stop playing games like sword duel, sword shodown, archery, freesbie golf and bascketball 3 on 3. But Blob is also a very good and fun game so it depends what will you buy first.
When this comes back in stock i'm getting it. Though doesn't the time limit make the game really short? or are there still loads of levels or whatever to explore?
Sounds good - what are the chances Nntendo will circumvent it? I say that because I had "freeloader" to play impoted games - and after an update freeloader just causes my wii to crash. Not that it would stop me, but could that happen, and are the guys behind this hack stuff quick to adapt?
Nope, no online features are lost it works like you are playing it on disk, but it runs and plays much quicker and smoother. The application called 'USB Loader GX' has a amazing interface; easy to scroll through, with downloadable covers, it's so good.
It's quite funny that this game originally came from the Netherlands. It was made for the PC by a bunch of students, and later on they got a deal with THQ.
I have to agree with this guy; the first party nintendo games atm are a lost cause. For the companies interested in making a good game rather than lots of money, the wii has endless potential!
Before you do - becase im not wholly against the idea of free games of course - but the ast time I checked any such tampering resulted in losing online features, which wold be a bumer cos I use most of the online functions a lot - still love a good blast of mario kart online, and my wii never been buiser since getting BBC Iplayer. If non of that is affected im game!
i kinda thought it would be boring, too. but i got it for christmas and it is the best game i ever played. i cant wait for tomorrow so that i can get a new sensor bar so i can play it again ^_^
I played this, and it was a broken, unresponsive mess with ADDICTIVE gameplay such as, touch wall, move around, and avoid enemies because attacking doesn't work for some reason.
Shame this didn't get much recognition. It's honestly one of the best games on Wii.
Late_Bloc_Party I know right? The sequel wasn't very good in my opinion, but this game was my favorite back when I was younger.
If only the developers hadn't had this brain fart of jumping by swinging the wiimote... in a platformer where imprecise jumping is ANNOYING AS HELL!
Fortunately they fixed that in the Sequel.
That's what made the game unique though. I felt like the Wii remote made the game more fluid.
this game was my childhood
de blob 2 confirmed!!!
Such a shame that no one ever really gave a shit about this game. Or it's sequel. Oh, well.
I wish they did....
It was actually a great game.
Damphampster YES!
Damphampster Also I know its a great gme. it's just most people really don't give a crap. (I could be wrong....Hopefully)
This game sold over a million I think. Enough to justify making the sequel.
This game walked so Splatoon could run
Truer words have never been said
This game was ahead of its time
bro this game ran too
I really remember playing this game.
Time flies.
Right
2008,
2016...
Just what has happened to time?
I know right?
Dex Morgan *cough* 2017 *cough*
deblob is on steam now
Eyes _ when was it released?
Eyes _ awesome! I'll check it out!
Dunno the narrator, but he's passionate and very good at narrating
Matt Casamassina
I wish he would bring color to his voice
Watching a game review from 2008 to play it on the Switch when it comes out 10 years later feels weird.
Splatoon inspiration?
Came before splatoon
Space Walker ....Exactly
+BaoZakeruga Any time my friends see me playing splatoon they're like "Oh are you playing that game De Blob?" :P
Space Walker He didn't say it was inspired by it dumbfuck
He said if its splatoon's inspairation
I bought this game a few weeks ago when I bought my Wii, and I love it! The grapics and colors (and designs in those colors) are wonderful! The music is great.
I would like to see a sequel.
One of my favourite games of all time remember playing this on the wii
Please internet revive this game out of nostalgia!
Lol, before the vid, I saw a Splatoon ad. XD
jajajajaja
If you play this game, brown is always a rap beat no matter what soundtrack ur using 😂
True!!
Idk why this game just popped into my memory lol
ah yes i finally found it... i remember playing this game and it seemed so familiar after hearing about splatoon ;)
This was originally a computer game. It was Dutch, made by a team of 9 artists. It was kinda the same, but this is quite a bit better. You can get De Blob (original, in English) from indiegames(dot)com.
the art style in this game looks amazing iam so getting it.
Inspiration for splatoon!
Yo mean inspiration from de blob
Plush Master64 Read what he said that's basically what he said.
Coming to the Switch! Insta-buy!
This is nothing like Splatoon, the only thing similar is the ink
Cobzah It doesn't matter it could still be inspiration
Still better than splatoon.
Don't even.
+AJETT Saying bar about Spletun when he thinks COD is a good game
AJETT splatoon is a great looking game with an original idea. deblob is a great looking game with an original idea. cod is a great looking game with the same exact story and game play shoved down your throat and a cringey fan base to boot
You can't compare an fps to a platformer?
only reading this comment did i now realize how unrelated splatoon and de blob are
The score to this game sounds amazing.
One of the few goods reviews IGN has given.
9 years later... Wii... Wii U... and now switch... man its been long
3:58 OH MY BOY YOU WILL NOT BE DISSAPOINTED
playing this game now in 2016, it really holds up well. looks great and there really is no game like it, but it does get old quickly and the camera has a few issues
Nobody mentions it but those paint sucker things creeped me out when I was younger
Been here 12 years.. Ready for 12 more!
Game Grumps need to play this!
I dunno why I suddenly remembered this game, I player it when I was like 10.
BRO I SWEAR I PLAYED THIS GAME ON WII LIKE 7YEARS AGO
I played this so much as a kid
So far as I found, the only negative is the fact that you CAN'T save your progress during the game since it's time based. You must complete the stage for it to save.
It was my first Wii game. I have some awesome memories from this game.
Man, what a beautiful game
i like the fact that even though this guy has the most coverage on the blob, even has the record to prove it, he still was able to say "while i do like this game, it still has it's flaws". shows how professional he is
the og Splatoon
wow, no mention of the dynamic music?
bro when i was little i played this all day
2020?
And sold! I'll have de blob by the end of the week!
Dunno where Id be without ya Matt - Ive been trusting you for what feels like a decade now and youve never steered me wrong! Youve saved me a lot of money. With these costs it makes sense to rely on a like minded game reviewer and I definatly did go wrong when I found you! TOP bloke!
i love this game. it reminds me of crazy taxi with the whole "quick get from point a to point b in this much time without dying a horrible death" type of challenges
IGN used to be so good back then, these were the reviews we wanted by people who clearly love games. This game will forever remain in my heart
i got this game yesterday for my bday and i was playing it for hours its awesome!
Imagine a 11 year old comment responds to me
I don't have a Wii any more but I still have the disk. I remember playing this game when I was younger, it was so fun.
my childhood come bacckkkkkkk
It’s 2018
Almost been 10years
@MamaLuigiBarrelRoll Yeh but the same game on another console (if it's multiplatform) is most likely to be cheaper..
You can always buy it way cheaper from eBay, what I like to do :D
Interesting.
Is it a fair assessment to say
Mario Sunshine + Jet Grind Radio = da Blob?
no
Both :D I got my wii sport resort with motion plus and I can't stop playing games like sword duel, sword shodown, archery, freesbie golf and bascketball 3 on 3. But Blob is also a very good and fun game so it depends what will you buy first.
It's only on DS, iPhone and Wii.
Nostalgia dammit
This made me blob in my pants
@MultiDragon55 This game was based on a Pc game made by some students. Which u can download by searching google for "the blob pc"
I remember loving and playing this game on the Wii de blob 2 has just released and I can't wait to try it
When this comes back in stock i'm getting it. Though doesn't the time limit make the game really short? or are there still loads of levels or whatever to explore?
Sounds good - what are the chances Nntendo will circumvent it? I say that because I had "freeloader" to play impoted games - and after an update freeloader just causes my wii to crash. Not that it would stop me, but could that happen, and are the guys behind this hack stuff quick to adapt?
My friend keeps comparing this game to Splatoon. Besides the paint mechanics, they aren't really similar.
I used to play this game all the time when I was a kid
Superb game without anything to really complain about. I would have given it a solid 9. Go out and buy this!
man i played this when it first came out on windows vista
Stay fresh!
i got the game on my birthday in april. its on of my favourite games on wii. i like the idea of splats of paint
this game looks and sounds awesome i like jazz music! ^^
Nope, no online features are lost it works like you are playing it on disk, but it runs and plays much quicker and smoother. The application called 'USB Loader GX' has a amazing interface; easy to scroll through, with downloadable covers, it's so good.
@MamaLuigiBarrelRoll Yup box-art is out
i LOVE this game i just wish it was a tiny bit easyer
Always wanted this game as a kid so sad I never got it 😢
great i think they will be really happy!
I want to go back to the day I first bought this game xC
Yes, this is where 2020 has brought us
This reviewer is amazing!
Anyone here from games with gold 2020
I literally just downloaded it as it’s leaving soon so wanna try to complete it goes.
yea my only complaint was the jump being on the waggle other than that a great platformer cant wait for De Blob 2
Shoutouts to Grayfruit.
Now it is on nintendo switch, ps4 and xbox one.
me too sordof. did you find it tedious?
I remember playing this like a million years ago
in australia it may be not. Maybe i just mistake it with the new MOH...
It's quite funny that this game originally came from the Netherlands. It was made for the PC by a bunch of students, and later on they got a deal with THQ.
This game is just tooo crazy!!! I love it!!!
this game was great. however i thought the levels were INSAINLY long. and you could only save if you beat a level.
All this game needs a lengthy story. Something that's somewhat hard to come by on Wii.
I have to agree with this guy; the first party nintendo games atm are a lost cause. For the companies interested in making a good game rather than lots of money, the wii has endless potential!
Me and my brother played this when i was little ;( nostalgia
Before you do - becase im not wholly against the idea of free games of course - but the ast time I checked any such tampering resulted in losing online features, which wold be a bumer cos I use most of the online functions a lot - still love a good blast of mario kart online, and my wii never been buiser since getting BBC Iplayer. If non of that is affected im game!
finally!!! a wii game that can compete with the blockbuster titles of xbox 360 and ps3
I often listen to 'Color in Your Life' while playing this.
i kinda thought it would be boring, too. but i got it for christmas and it is the best game i ever played. i cant wait for tomorrow so that i can get a new sensor bar so i can play it again ^_^
Off topic, but is the Wii version of COD online do you know?
if u press 'c' on the menu's the colour of the pointer changes :P
I found this game in my pile and wanted to replay it. I missed it alot
I played this, and it was a broken, unresponsive mess with ADDICTIVE gameplay such as, touch wall, move around, and avoid enemies because attacking doesn't work for some reason.
Ferret Child it is hard to master the controlls. deblob 2 is infinitely better control wise
i am not the letter E Let's hope
Alien Boy in Blue you are wrong
This wasn't the best game I must say, but it was one of the best on the wii, especially since I was a little kid at that time
which would be better. epic mickey or de blob? someone help me out, please
De blob makes you feel like De blob
I remember playing this, it was so fun. I could never remember the name
im getting a wii this christmas and this is the first game i want to get 4 it!
THIS WAS THE GAME I PLAYED THE MOST ON MY OLD WII!!!!
