Elebits are cute little creatures of the future that supply power needed to run ordinary objects. In this game, the Elebits have gotten loose and it's your job to round them up. Your tool is a ray gun that can move objects as well as capture the little Elebit creatures. Throughout the game you'll wander through the different rooms in a house or through the streets of the town searching for the Elebits which are basically everywhere and anywhere (There's hundreds of them in each level). While you are busy searching for the Elebits, you'll use your ray gun to overturn every object in sight, basically making a total mess of everywhere you go. Half the fun of the game is creating a disaster zone and tossing random objects all over the place. The other half is hunting down and capturing the Elebit creatures. The controls are simple. You'll use the nunchuck joystick to move around and the remote to look, point, and shoot. It's a simple game and the cute animation is great for the younger generation. Don't be fooled by the simplicity though. Gamers of all ages are bound to become addicted to the hide and seek play in Elebits. Make sure you give this one a shot.Read full review
Elebits missed being a launch title by 23 days. I enjoyed it after a rental but didn't purchase it for some time. I still had Zelda Twilight Princess to complete, and then I began discovering some gamecube titles that I had passed up on, particularly Resident Evil 4. Lets not kid anyone, as of right now in June, the Wii line up is not too impressive. Its littered with ports and rushed games. However, if you're looking for a quality title that takes a unique approach to the Wii, look no further than Elebits. Elebits is essentially a first person shooter; however, unlike other fps's, its staple is its physics system. In Elebits you have an "anti gravity gun" which you can use to move objects (everything from furniture to entire buildings) to find and capture your Elebits. The more you capture the more powerful your gun, and the more items you can interact with. Its a lot of fun, and it feels really good. There are various puzzles that you might have to solve and various movements you must do with the Wii remote to solve them. The graphics are simple, but good. The theme is cute, but don't let that scare you off, you can look past it to find a really fun game. Once you complete the main story mode you can unlock different challanges in the stages, and also different multiplayer modes. You can create chaos with up to four players. Elebits is original, and fun, and it should hold you over until Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition, Mario Strikers Charged, or Metroid comes out. Cheers.Read full review
There are plenty of reviews about this game, so I will just provide my opinion on it and if its fun for the family. The game requires use of both the controller and the nunchuck. The controller is directional (left, right, up, down) while the nunchuck provides movement (forwards, backwards, left and right strafe). So in order to play this game correctly, your child should be able to comfortably use both simultaneously. If not, wait till they are older. The game provides decent fun and good practice on using the Wii controller. Overall good for the family, however, adolescent males and adults may find this boring after a while. Additionally, your hands and arms get become strained after a while, so take frequent breaks. Positives: Family oriented fun, decent controller handling, cute so it keeps the kids attention. Negative: Your hands and wrists will hurt after a while, probably not suitable for older kids who crave action.Read full review
This game has a strong intial appeal, that then becomes a little flat. The unique use of the controllers (both remote and nunchuck) hold the games strongest appeal. The graphics are clean and to the point. No use of over details here (cell-shading) and manipulating each object when possible is fun. For instance, picking up a four door car to search for Elebits under it, then tossing it aside like a papercup. Or going throw a amusement part demolishing all the rides to find more Elebits, is fun, but soon becomes WORK. If you like a game with a little challenge and fun controls then Elebits is a entertaining try for the Wii.
This game uses all your wii-mote functions and is exactly what a party game for Wii should be. It has all the elements to suck 2 or more players into an all night game of collecting Elebits. Toss rooms like a swat team looking for suspicious items. Click, shake and pull to your hearts content. Collecting these little creatures couldn't be anymore fun. My wife even plays this solo and she's definitely not your typical gamer. A great game at a wonderful price!
