Just a few short days ago, I was "Whatcha Playing" Secret of Evermore. That is, until de Blob arrived in my mailbox. It's a delightful romp through an increasingly complex and challenging environment, where just a few basic skills are utilized in clever ways. In short, this game is everything that Super Mario Galaxy should have been, but wasn't.
If there were any justice in the world, this game would outsell that old plumber's celestial adventure, because it's much more approachable, smart, and rewarding. Sadly, with that goofy French-sounding title (What were they thinking?), it will likely be lumped in with the dozens of colorful also-ran platformers vying for your holiday dollars. It's a shame, because I think it's the Best Wii Game Yet.
It's like Katamari Damacy meets Jet Grind Radio. Roll and bounce around, paint all the gray surfaces different colors. It appeals to one's OCD like nothing since Diablo. You won't be able to put it down until you've made sure every inch of gray has been splashed with color. If you have a Wii than you'd better buy this. Otherwise it's time to turn in your Serious Gamer card.
