I'm a bit biased, since I played de Blob (the original) back in 2008. As such, I'm already going to say that it's awesome.
But de Blob 2 is, frankly, beyond my expectations. EVERYTHING has been magnified and expanded - be it power-ups, challenges, and the city itself. The levels are easily twice the size of de Blob 1 areas, and have taken me upwards of an hour to complete, especially if you want to 100% it.
There are a few things that bug me. A chief one is the music selection - you only have a choice of three songs per level, and while they vary, I'd rather make a selection from the entire game library (and there's over a dozen choices in total).
The other giant complaint is your sidekick, Pinky. She tells you what to do and how to do it, and it can annoy you, easily. ("I want to do this on my own, #$#$#!) But you can also choose to just ignore her, and she's more helpful than the Color Underground members from the original.
De Blob 2 isn't going to make you say "wow" necessarily - I do because of the beauty of the city landscape that I create. But it's incredibly relaxing, and the best stress-reliever you could imagine. Ever.
