de Blob Review

A quality platformer that proves third-parties can do so much more on Wii.

[@MrMattaiusify]

Shame this didn't get much recognition. It's honestly one of the best games on Wii.

[@frostbittenfire]

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.

[@tz8785]

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.

[@Yetoob8lWuxUQnpAahSqEpYkyZ]

That's what made the game unique though. I felt like the Wii remote made the game more fluid.

[@rebelo2025]

this game was my childhood

[@A7XxAfterlifex]

de blob 2 confirmed!!!

[@G0ldkloud]

Such a shame that no one ever really gave a shit about this game. Or it's sequel. Oh, well.

[@TanookiTheReal]

I wish they did....

[@anyonesguess1569]

It was actually a great game.

[@TanookiTheReal]

Damphampster YES!

[@TanookiTheReal]

Damphampster Also I know its a great gme. it's just most people really don't give a crap. (I could be wrong....Hopefully)

[@KungKras]

This game sold over a million I think. Enough to justify making the sequel.

[@midec.1266]

I really remember playing this game. Time flies.

[@MCStairsOfDeath]

Right

[@kaijionline]

This game walked so Splatoon could run

[@bosssnurp5912]

Truer words have never been said

[@Ncc0990]

This game was ahead of its time

[@cageknight6634]

bro this game ran too

[@DexMorgan]

2008, 2016... Just what has happened to time?

[@gamerplayer8882]

I know right?

[@Evil_Wizard]

Dex Morgan *cough* 2017 *cough*

[@jakeyyay]

deblob is on steam now

[@gamerplayer8882]

Eyes _ when was it released?

[@gamerplayer8882]

Eyes _ awesome! I'll check it out!

[@bananapoohwkuk]

Dunno the narrator, but he's passionate and very good at narrating

[@Pwnsweet]

Matt Casamassina

[@thomas5434]

I wish he would bring color to his voice

[@jakebezzina6729]

Watching a game review from 2008 to play it on the Switch when it comes out 10 years later feels weird.

[@KanineKruizer]

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.

[@phizzee6401]

One of my favourite games of all time remember playing this on the wii

[@Jakefrommaine1]

Idk why this game just popped into my memory lol

[@samuellacey5166]

Lol, before the vid, I saw a Splatoon ad. XD

[@ecartoons9041]

jajajajaja

[@thebeeghoont7888]

Please internet revive this game out of nostalgia!

[@BaoZakeruga]

Splatoon inspiration?

[@SpaceWalkerReal]

Came before splatoon

[@yibbadah]

Space Walker ....Exactly

[@MrMattaiusify]

+BaoZakeruga Any time my friends see me playing splatoon they're like "Oh are you playing that game De Blob?" :P

[@EthanBradburyVlogs]

Space Walker He didn't say it was inspired by it dumbfuck

[@raid1403]

He said if its splatoon's inspairation

[@bugkid7454]

If you play this game, brown is always a rap beat no matter what soundtrack ur using 😂

[@nick-cepticon782]

True!!

[@wiilover07]

the art style in this game looks amazing iam so getting it.

[@samplesimple0]

Inspiration for splatoon!

[@Luceshoe13]

Yo mean inspiration from de blob

[@jojoa694]

Plush Master64 Read what he said that's basically what he said.

[@YamashitaTsubasa]

The score to this game sounds amazing.

[@minivanmaster]

ah yes i finally found it... i remember playing this game and it seemed so familiar after hearing about splatoon ;)

[@inciniumz4671]

One of the few goods reviews IGN has given.

[@mahmoodbasheer5594]

9 years later... Wii... Wii U... and now switch... man its been long

[@Overwatchaddictt]

Been here 12 years.. Ready for 12 more!

[@Quantumtalesxx]

Coming to the Switch! Insta-buy!

[@supercamborg4218]

Man, what a beautiful game

[@Zedsuss]

Nobody mentions it but those paint sucker things creeped me out when I was younger

[@KMills]

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.

[@Cobzah]

This is nothing like Splatoon, the only thing similar is the ink

[@sk8kingz904]

Cobzah It doesn't matter it could still be inspiration

[@sweetmesaJS]

Game Grumps need to play this!

[@virtualspooks4778]

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

[@thatonedude675]

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

[@Succumbing]

I played this so much as a kid

[@ItsAJETT]

Still better than splatoon.

[@ItsAJETT]

Don't even.

[@CaptainSwag]

+AJETT Saying bar about Spletun when he thinks COD is a good game

[@furgusuned15650]

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

[@AdamPangFireCracker]

You can't compare an fps to a platformer?

[@alexk9642]

only reading this comment did i now realize how unrelated splatoon and de blob are

[@Evelyn_onfire]

the og Splatoon

[@yourrealdad2114]

This made me blob in my pants

[@breadman2983]

I dunno why I suddenly remembered this game, I player it when I was like 10.

[@_bofu]

BRO I SWEAR I PLAYED THIS GAME ON WII LIKE 7YEARS AGO

[@Sam-qb2be]

bro when i was little i played this all day

[@JustB3NJI]

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!

[@charchar1712]

Nostalgia dammit

[@NidorinoAlliance]

It was my first Wii game. I have some awesome memories from this game.

[@khailos]

my childhood come bacckkkkkkk

[@jingleman1336]

3:58 OH MY BOY YOU WILL NOT BE DISSAPOINTED

[@TailsMiles249]

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.

[@lolman9630]

Stay fresh!

[@hmodix3]

i got this game yesterday for my bday and i was playing it for hours its awesome!

[@deathnova7596]

Imagine a 11 year old comment responds to me

[@oscarchavez1154]

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

[@dreamcastdazia4753]

This reviewer is amazing!

[@vind-]

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.

[@LouiWoodman]

Yes, this is where 2020 has brought us

[@DutchDrone]

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.

[@8sunny8]

2020?

[@Macku9029]

great i think they will be really happy!

[@thelunn]

this is really in depth! i like reviews like this :D

[@minidwarfdude9230]

I used to play this game all the time when I was a kid

[@vncv]

Anyone here from games with gold 2020

[@fronttowardsenemy1332]

I literally just downloaded it as it’s leaving soon so wanna try to complete it goes.

[@cdxii-zanemmv46]

It’s 2018 Almost been 10years

[@zekeyspaceylizard]

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

[@kingkirby7714]

wow, no mention of the dynamic music?

[@actuallystar459]

I remember loving and playing this game on the Wii de blob 2 has just released and I can't wait to try it

[@uniee8278]

De blob makes you feel like De blob

[@DOSDreamz]

I want to go back to the day I first bought this game xC

[@sixteeneight4096]

man i played this when it first came out on windows vista

[@BlueBisharps]

My friend keeps comparing this game to Splatoon. Besides the paint mechanics, they aren't really similar.

[@deadstar962]

Always wanted this game as a kid so sad I never got it 😢

[@3MM4NU37]

I cant say that rolling sideways into a large series of buildings looks too fun.

[@Sanosais]

this game looks and sounds awesome i like jazz music! ^^

[@ganados0]

They should have called it "De Blob 3: FPS with buckets of blood' and watched it fly off shelves.

[@matixmata]

de blob + wii = COOL STUFF

[@Levelol10]

I often listen to 'Color in Your Life' while playing this.

[@lcsalcedo]

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

[@realbepis]

Shoutouts to Grayfruit.

[@melainecomeau9196]

I remember playing this like a million years ago

[@wesmus]

it's cool how a dutch college team make this game possible for the wii:P

[@pinkberry50]

All this game needs a lengthy story. Something that's somewhat hard to come by on Wii.

[@punchbuggy981]

i LOVE this game i just wish it was a tiny bit easyer

[@myrmeko]

This game is just tooo crazy!!! I love it!!!

[@LiamRproductions]

It's only on DS, iPhone and Wii.

[@Monica-cc3dj]

The story behind this reminds me of a certain Powerpuff Girls episode.

[@JackLORDofTOASTppl]

looks really fun, i so have to get this

[@aldelmar7395]

Ancient Splatoon

[@zealous7933]

I remember playing this, it was so fun. I could never remember the name

[@LouuciferYT]

About to try this game for the first time finally

[@ismargz3043]

Old school splatoon

[@crazyofengland]

@MultiDragon55 This game was based on a Pc game made by some students. Which u can download by searching google for "the blob pc"

[@OzaruVejit]

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.

[@Amelfan]

I just bought this yesterday and IM HOOKED!!

[@moo_92]

I found this game in my pile and wanted to replay it. I missed it alot

[@uglyflower608]

THIS WAS THE GAME I PLAYED THE MOST ON MY OLD WII!!!!

[@yujirohanma3851]

after watch de blob vs splatoon animation im ******* regret everything

[@jeppewie1206]

holly shit.. A POSETIVE REVIEW...

[@Filipanderssonbeats]

Me and my brother played this when i was little ;( nostalgia

[@manboi98]

im getting a wii this christmas and this is the first game i want to get 4 it!

[@DogOfHades]

NOBODY MOVES DE BLOB!!

[@shinynewjb]

It's one of those games you just have to play to understand. "you paint buildings" in the way you shoot aliens in an FPS.

[@CBGB42]

A good third party game? AMAZING. But, it's probably a sign of the apocalypse.

[@SilentBeutlin]

Superb game without anything to really complain about. I would have given it a solid 9. Go out and buy this!

[@manozack1]

should i get a wii or ps3 HELP

[@Spinydoor256]

@@manozack1 I’m 14 years late, but I suggest a wii

[@Genuine33]

finally!!! a wii game that can compete with the blockbuster titles of xbox 360 and ps3

[@sbbzy272]

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.

[@snucc1000]

I bet this gave inspiration to how Splatoon was made 😃
