I picked up 'de Blob' for the Wii recently and finally got to sit down with it for an hour yesterday. Based on those initial impressions, I've gotta say that I love it. Great art style, great gameplay, great controls, great fun.

You can unlock the gates to proceed thru the level fairly quickly, but I found myself sticking around, completing challenges, and painting stuff for more points before wanting to move on. At one point, I think I had gotten enough points to unlock the next 3 gates before I finally had my fill of the area I was in and moved on.
