Advantages: Great gameplay, fab music.

Disadvantages: Can get a little repetitive.

De Blob is a great game - totally different gameplay from your standard fare, great background music (more about this later!), and fun extras.

The basic premise is that De Blob's world has been rendered black and white by an inky dictator, and you must bring the colour back (and free the inhabitants) by filling up with paint and bouncing around the scenery. Various bad guys and enemy weapons make your job that little bit more difficult, but some well timed bounces will soon see them off.

The background music is quirky and catchy. It starts off very minimalist as you enter each new black and white level, and starts to build as you bring more colour back. It worms its way into your head, but isn't too intrusive. However, you would be well advised to ask anyone else to leave the room when you are playing, as if you aren't actually playing the game then some tunes are *incredibly* annoying! They aren't at all bad when you are engrossed in the gameplay, but if you are trying to concentrate on something else then they will slowly drive you mad - think Loco Roco in a jazz club, and you won't be far off.

All in all, it is a good, fun game. It can get a bit repetitive, but there is always something new in each level to keep you interested.

Summary: Love it - definitely worth buying.
