Elebits for Wii Reviews by Gamers

If you are looking to find a glimpse of what the Wii controller can do, look no further than Elebits. The game starts out with a child hangin' out at home when all of the sudden a lightning storm comes and his parents, who are scientists, have to take off to return power. You are then set loose in the house with your capture gun to seek and destroy every possible Elebit you can find. Trust me folks, this one is not about the story! Elebits is a fun platformer style game that's all about tearing things up and shooting little pieces of energy. Sound boring? Well, actually it's not and although there are a few glaring problems with the physics in the game, for example, you can't push certain objects without ramming others into them, all in all you will have a lot of fun just banging things about and interacting with basically everything on the screen. One other glaring problem , is the levels that don't allow sound or have limits to how many things you can break. Although this does add challenge to the game, breaking and tearing things up is the most entertaining part of the game. If you can get past the weak storyline, Elebits will offer you some good clean rampage style fun that can be a great stress reliever at the end of a long day. Also, you might want to leave this one off the list if you are looking for multiplayer fun, only one player is allowed to control the camera, which really hinders what could have been a really fun two player game. They should have taken some advice from the makers of Cookie and Cream on this one and created some sort of cooperative mode instead. All in all, a solid title to play with the new Mii controls and a fun rental as long as you can overlook the weak story and a few mechanics issues here and there.
