Awesome :D . I recently bought De Blob on Wii, and so far I'm loving it.

I'll buy the next one on the Wii, even though I have all systems. I feel it's more of a Wii game. 

is the first game that good? i saw it in a bargain bin once and almost got it but i didnt cause i thoguht alot of people didnt like it. maybe if i see it again ill buy it.

I think its the best "new" platformer this gen. Its such a different experience to other platformers, and it so rewarding when the music and environment changes while you play.

The biggest problem, level length, is really determined by the time you choose to spend painting the world, and you can spend a LONG TIME doing this, but the game itself is as solid as you can get.

Get the sequel for sure, because they will have fixed alot of the very small issues, but the original is a goddamned classic and deserves to be recognized as one of the best platformers in a decade, and the best Australian developed game ever.

So long as they don't gimp the wii version of the game compaired to the other two systems like a lot of other developers seem to do, then I'll be happy.

"jump with the A button"

The first was a truly fun game, the jump was my pet peeve (well, that plus save points), so this fix plus the co-op modes make this a day 1 (ok, week 1) purchase.

I don't hate the "Flick Wii Remote to Jump" but if most levels are less than ~45 minutes, I'd deem this game an improvement over the original.  I'm also surprised that this game will have BOSSES.  The final boss in the first game was frustrating in my honest opinion compared to the other parts of the game.  If the 360 version is under $59.99, I might get both.  Blob ftw.

Press A to Jason Jump!

I love those 2D parts!
