de blob 2 is unique and fun but has some downsides as well.
The Good:
i played this game all the way till the very end and i have to say i really liked most of the things it had to offer.you see kids and nearly everybody likes to colour things, that dont have colour on
them,such as a drawing on a piece of paper or for example a room that has no colour what so ever.
in this game you are given a chance to colour and paint everything that has not got colour on em,you start as a small blob,and you work your way up in order to beat some kind of a monster that wants to dominate the world and make people sad and miserable,by not giving them any colours in their life.amazing story isnt it?i wonder why the bad guy is in a military suit and has one eye.
the levels are not so challenging at first and are very easy and fun.you go around trying to find your way to the next area.and trying to release colours into world as you go further.
one thing here worth mentioning is that you have the ability to upgrade yourself,you can make the size of the blob bigger,you can upgrade the staring lives that you have and so on,this is a good thing.
when you play the game all the way, you will understand that this is a huge game,the size of the levels keep getting bigger and bigger and the levels get more difficult and more challenging and its perfect in that way.it will really take along time trying to beat the game and this also helps people remember more fun moments in the game.
there are other collectables you can find during the game some are crucial for the upgrade and some are just there for the sake of having fun.
you cant just play for hours and hours, you have been given a limited time in order to finish each level,but then again you can earn time by colouring,well this can be good because it helps the player understand that you might be wasting time and you need to play the game better and faster,to get the best gameplay.
another good feature i found in de blob 2 is the little levels that you have to go underground they look very very good,awsome to have those kinds of levels.
other tools will be unlocked and showed to you in your adventure such as a shield that protects you from the enemies.also after you clean most part of the level with colors it is very peaceful to
go and take a look at what you have done,it gives you such an amazing feeling.
The Bad:
ok you control a blob and this blob does not go any faster than that speed,that can get really frustrating.sometimes during the game you cannot be bothered to colour any other side missions
and you will find your self looking for exit,and trying to beat that certain level as fast as you can.
the controling of the blob is really a bad one,sometimes when you wanna jump from here to there,you will miss that jump and need to go with your slow blob all the way back up to try again
for the jump.
the mixing of the colours to get the right one,is also frustrating sometimes because again,you and your slow blob have to go and find certain colours to match the right one,you see all the
problems go to the speed of the blob.it would have been very good if you could for example sprint or something to at least go bit faster at somepoint during the game.
finding all the light bulbs is ridiculous, since some of them are inside boxes and are very rare and time wasters,and time is an issue here.
as i said in the good parts of the review about time limits that can be good ,i can simply say it can also be bad as well,you might want to collect all the collectibles in the game but you dont want to colour all the levels and get more time by that.again time issue is a problem here.
ok,now seeing all those colours with moving little characters that are also coated with one specific colour,does
hurt your eyes,seriously too much colors from different varieties does make your eyes a bit more tired,they should have done something like a mini game or a break level or a bonus level to
exercise the eye.
The Outcome:i think the game is very unique.The idea of it is also very unique and it does work,it has a taste of comedy among it and can be tiring for some reason but then again is very fun and addictive.
and amazing to experience.
