de Blob wtf?

[theRepublic]

I'm not really sure what to think about this thread.

I'll start by saying that de Blob is a fresh take on the 3D platformer. Its play style is much better than the collect-a-thons that most 3D platformers turn into. Aside from Mario, I can't think of a better 3D platformer off the top of my head.

As for the controls, I didn't like them at first, but once I realized that I was a blob of goo it made sense. You are not supposed to be agile like Mario. That said, once you get used to it, you can pull off some pretty sweet walls runs and wall jumps. The remote works just fine for jumping, and I love it for the attack.

I can't believe that there are complaints about the time limit. There is plenty of time to beat each level, and there is extra time all over the place. I beat every level 100% without ever going over an hour and a half. I completed most levels with 30 or 40 minutes left on the clock.

My one complaint about the game is that you cannot save mid-level.
