Elebits is a gruesome tale of survival that comes about as a result of severely negligent parenting. No... really! A story-within-a-story, our young protagonist is left home alone by his scientist parents when the lights all go out one evening. The

There’s nothing wrong with extending proven game designs, but in an industry saturated by marginal enhancements, it’s invigorating to encounter new ideas. They don’t happen very often, but games that delineate an appealing genre all their

Game Vortex
Levels range in size from small rooms to neighborhood blocks. The neat part is that just about everything in the environment can be picked up, spun around and tossed across the room. The downside is that in order to allow this to happen at a constant

Elebits features an odd but simple plot: gamers take on the role of a small child who inadvertently “wishes” all of the Elebits away. In Konami’s alternate universe, it seems that the Elebits are the source of all of the electricity in the world,

Elebits stole the show. The game's premise was one part Half Life and one part Pikmin, challenging players to arm themselves with a gravity gun and hunt for electrified critters called Elebits. It may not have been the most original outing ever put into

I never thought I'd see a First Person Shooter that was geared to kids and completely innocent, but Konami has managed to create just that. Don't worry moms and dads and all the rest (thanks Hoyst Gnip!), Elebits is a cute title that doesn't involve

Elebits are small, electrical critters which live in harmony with humans and power everything from TVs and dishwashers to entire households and amusement parks. Your goal in each level is to zap Elebits with your Capture Gun, which in turn gives you

When it comes to catching Elebits, learning to use the Capture Gun like a pro is a necessity. The nunchuk's control stick moves Kai, the Z button causes him to crouch, and the C button causes him to "stretch" (that is, rise up slightly as if he were

The cut scenes are driven by some beautifully drawn stills that are presented very well however the voice overs will drive you absolutely insane. These monotone performances are some of the worst I have heard in a game to date and really beg the question

The sound department is in a similar league: mostly superb but with a few small hiccups. Voice acting in family-friendly games is usually pretty bad already, but Elebits takes the cake for some of the worst in the industry. Whoever is reading these

Naturally, the little guys aren’t going to commit mass suicide. They don’t want to give up their freedom any more than you want to hear David Bowie sing about little brothers. To avoid their fate, they hide anywhere they can, whether that be under a

If this sounds like a bunch of boring gobbledygook, you're not alone. I suppose I'd have agreed – prior to playing the game – had the Wii been out a while and I had already gotten my second or third dose of innovation. But I'll try anything,

"A sort of Pikmin meets Katamari Damacy and goes for a few beers with the gravity gun from Half-life 2, Elebits is a cute and interesting game. Your "Capture Gun" is used to pick up objects and suck up little creatures called Elebits, which power

If you're looking for a game that demonstrates the kinds of crazy gameplay the Wii is capable of producing with its motion sensing controls, Elebits may be right up your alley. Functionally it's a first-person shooter for younger audiences, and the goal

though you eventually manage a life bar and other restrictions, Elebits never gets much deeper or more complicated than a game of hide and seek. With such a simple concept, it is really up to the control scheme and the Wii remote to salvage the experience

And for the most part, that's all you do. From the very first level to the last, it all boils down to zapping, zapping and more zapping. While that may sound quite dull, there's some kind of sick joy we get from dismantling an immaculate kitchen or

In Elebits, you play as Kai, the 10-year-old son of Elebits researchers. Kai has some issues and ultimately reminds me of many American teenagers – he dislikes his parents for (supposedly) putting the Elebits ahead of him, watches television to block

A comparison to Namco's Katamari Damacy is inevitable. Both games are about picking up bigger and bigger things. Both games have stylized and somewhat primitive graphics. Both games revel in a sort of gleeful havoc, but with a childlike sense of

Elebits - Konami's Wii debut - plonks you in a world entirely powered by tiny creatures with a silly name. Except, oh no! They've all gone and hidden after a huge lightning storm! With that, it's up to ten year-old protagonist Kai to sort things out by
