I love how they give it 8.4 but not 8.5. I wonder what knocked off that 0.1.

Or who

I'm in love with this game. Seriously, if you even have a minor interest in this game, you owe it to yourself to check it out come release day.

NOT HARDCORE ENOUGH, THE READERS WANT GORE!!!

Though honestly I think de Blob will have more hardcore than "casual" appeal.

Mario · « **Reply #61 on:** September 19, 2008, 04:06:01 AM »

I think it has both, marketed correctly it could sell some big numbers, and if it really is this good it'll have good word of mouth too. A good name and multiplayer helps.

This is spot on. In alot of ways the game reminds me of a 3D Mario game, if only in structure. The basic premise of the game is to get to the end of the level. Pretty much you can do this by just completing the challenges presented along your path, or just coloring everything in sight, but this will only beat a portion of the level. Like 3D Mario games, players who want that extra challenge can tackle all of the other goals within the level and get up to about an hour and half of play time out of each individual mission.

Oh yeah, and the multiplayer is chaotic and fun with 4 people, but the framerate suffers. The single player boasts 60 FPS, while the multiplayer dips down to probably 20 or 30.

For those interested the review is now up. Check it out here.

Awesome, came out today here, got it with the free figurine (which rocks!). Loving it so far, spent 30 minutes in the first level, the game is deeper than I thought it'd be! Controls are perfect, had no problems, very smooth, graphics are fantastic and even the music is really good so far. I actually feel like going back to the first level again just to "complete" everything, heaps of fun.

I haven't got this yet, but for those that are interested Circuit City has the soundtrack as a bonus when you purchase De Blob and Bestbuy has a T-shirt.

IceCold · « **Reply #66 on:** September 25, 2008, 01:17:39 AM »

Going to buy this soon! Hopefully!

I picked both this and Wario Land up today. I couldn't decide with one to play first so I flipped a coin, unfortunately for Wario Land, De Blob was chosen and I haven't been able to put it down. I'll try and play Wario tonight, but this game is fantastic.

Nick DiMola · « **Reply #68 on:** September 25, 2008, 07:09:43 AM »

Awesome, glad to hear you guys are enjoying it!

Mario · « **Reply #69 on:** September 25, 2008, 11:11:00 AM »

Played for nine hours now. Oh yeah.

Time to rest!

Nick DiMola · « **Reply #70 on:** September 25, 2008, 11:28:17 AM »

Haha that was my first day too. I think I got in eight, couldn't put it down. Yeah I kind of had to play for that long to get the review done, but when I eventually did put it down for the night I really didn't want to. Next day at work I was literally antsy waiting to get home and play more.

Plugabugz · « **Reply #71 on:** September 29, 2008, 04:39:09 PM »

I got this today and i'm really liking it. I'm not too fond of the controls too much, they feel a little "floaty" and the jump is frustrating (needs to be mapped to a button!), but it looks gorgeous and the FMV looks incredible.

Nick DiMola · « **Reply #72 on:** September 29, 2008, 07:30:41 PM »

**** nuts. My save file from the debug unit won't transfer onto my to use with the retail game.

I guess I'll have to start over, though it is going to be frustrating redoing some of the levels I spent hours on getting 100%.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #73 on:** October 03, 2008, 03:46:06 PM »

Gonna grab this now. I will be back with impressions.

DAaaMan64 · « **Reply #74 on:** October 03, 2008, 03:52:57 PM »

I will actually get this once I finish MM9
