Hmm. Well that's strange. Marcus Fenix would have been a perfect bonus character in the 360 version of Mortal Kombat what with Gears of War 3 beta going on now and Gears of War 3 only being a few months away. I wonder what prevented this from happening. I gots to know.

I wonder if it's some strange policy. I remember when Soulcalibur 3 came out I thought it was odd that the GC version got Link, PS2 got Heichachi, and Xbox got. . . Spawn.  Not that he's not an appropriate character, but he's not a videogame character. Seemed strange that they grabbed a comic book character for it.

The 360 version did not get one. They got some bonus content (amini-game, an extra fighting arena, a free DLC character "Lady in Red" who will be available for both systems, and other stuff), but no exclusive characters.

It's some MK puzzle game. I don't know more than that since I don't have a 360 it didn't seem worth my time to research it.

If you read that article in the news section, Ed Boon REALLY wanted to have Marcus Fenix in the game. Maybe Epic didn't want to go along with it.

Just played 2 hours of De Blob 2.

Got the wii version.

What can I say? Well if you played the first game, everything you thought about that game can be applied to the sequel - except that you have to press A to jump.

I personally like the waggle feeling of flinging a squash ball about and I'm trying to find the option in the game to put it back to that, unsuccessfully I might add.

I got the game because it was 1/3 of the price at game.uk. Graphically it's a smidgen better than the first game, though you wont notice till you are an hour in. They have nice depth of field effects the frame rate is smoother and they have Jett Rocket style reflective shaders on some buildings. Overall it's a subtle improvement though, nothing huge.

There are 2D sections which play as one might assume from the screens. Otherwise there are a few new moves like a Sonic style speed blast and there are cars and flying buses which are frozen in time till you colour them and decide to ride them.

It's De Blob 1 basically, still fun, same structure, not that much different. It's solid stuff but not a sort of must have title.

Glad to finally hear some impressions of it. Pretty much what I figured. Good enough game, but it didn't really seem like a sequel that needed to be made.

My thoughts exactly. I liked the game, but didn't really feel much need for another one.

Also confirmed; The Wii is going to be useless from here on out, outside of Zelda and hopefully Xenoblade and the Last Story.

Pretty cool, love the color:

Wish they would make the console charcoal like that. Sony had a PS2 controller that color at one time, I loved it.
