Parents need to know that this E-rated game is creative and fascinating to play, and while lots of fun at first, it gets hard from about mid-game on. It's too hard for the younger end of the intended audience of 6- to 12-year-olds. The game has an easier mode, but unfortunately, you can't get to it until after you've mastered the harder story mode. The storyline is shown in Pixar-quality video cutscenes with silly characters and antics.
Educational value:Some of the puzzle-solving involves thinking; but this is a game meant to entertain.
Positive messages:The titular character, de Blob is a free spirit who helps rescue his city from harm. Baddies Comrade Black and his INKT henchmen have some Nazi-like qualities.
Positive role models:de Blob is a hero, leading the rebellion against a dictator who has stolen all the color from a land.
Ease of play:This game quickly becomes exceedingly difficult to play.
Violence:de Blob can stomp on bad guys to squish away their bad ink. The bad guys can spray de Blob with black ink, which if he doesn't rinse off in time, causes him to die.
DE BLOB IS SIMPLE AND DUMB IN THEORY THAT A WORLD WITHOUT COLOR CAN BE SAVED BY BLOBS OF COLOR BUT WHAT I AM SHOCKED AT HOW MUCH FUN THIS GAME IS SERIOUSLY YOU GEY LOST YOU FORGET YOUR PLAYING. THE GAME'S GRAPHIC LOOK FANTASTIC ON THE WII GREAT GAME BEST WII GAME OF 08 YEAH
Is it difficult? Moderately. Is it fun? Absolutely. Is it addictive? 100%. Does it sound out a message? Better message than most games I play. So basically what I'm saying is that if you want this game, it is worth even though it doesn't do what you want it to do a lot of the time.
This is an excellent game for kids and adults. The only gotcha is that if your child isn't good at using the nunchuck and the wiimote at the same time, then they might become frustrated. The free play option is great for younger players to become familiar with the controls without being rushed by the clock in story mode. Free play for a level is enabled after that level is completed.
This game is not and could not be offending to anyone whom plays it. The only thing that can be bad is that when de Blob touches ink, it has a tense feeling that comes with it. That's it.
Colorful game with great graphics is quite challenging for some!
It is a very interesting game and a very colorful one too. Game controls are simple, and it teaches kids to think logically. Although, the game gets really hard, really fast. Young gamers might find it too hard to play. Kids 10 and up are OK. Good game!
