    This version improves the control of the original, expands its levels and offers interesting alternative modes, enhancing an already superb game. It has lost online functions, which is a minor flaw but distances this game from perfection.

    So yes, I play with paper dolls. And paper lizards, bees, bats and snakes. All of which reside in the off kilter strategy platformer that goes by the name of And Yet It Moves. From the moment I saw the preview video I knew I had to play this game. The overall look is very cool in an arts and crafts kind of way. Everything has the appearance of being made out of scraps of paper. From simple black and white, to fully textured varieties, the paperscapes in the levels are displayed with a truly artistic lean. To join in with this natural, hand crafted feel is the sound in this game. Very sparse and composed primarily of human voices, beatbox, and Bobby McFerrin-like vocal instrumentation. It all adds to the feeling of isolation in this game. It clearly places you on the lost planet of paper that the adventure takes place in. Once you get pass looking and listening, it’s time to dive in. The key element to the game that makes it interesting beyond other games, is the fact that you can not only manipulate your character, but you can manipulate the level. Using the Wiimote you can freeze the games motion and rotate the entire stage. Doing so changes the direction of gravity and the direction of your momentum. If I had paid a little more attention in 11th grade physics, I probably would have a better understanding of how the rotation changes the momentum and played the game a little more efficiently, but nevertheless, it can’t be understated how well the developer uses this simple game control to such great effect. Boulders get dislodged, fires spread, swings change direction and bats constantly seek the ceiling. Even the ending credits are a playable level. I couldn’t ask for any more creativity out of a $10 game. So Xavier beat the game before I did. Whatever. Bottomline. Buy the game. 5…sight…visuals 5…sound…music and effects 4…touch…controls 5…engage…gameplay Final Tally: 4.75 out of 5 http://www.wiiandthekid.com… Expand

    This is a super creative and downright fun game but unfortunately it is over way way way to soon. It is only 10 bucks or so on the virtual console so it is well worth a purchase and play-through especially if you like plat-formers but at the end of the day it falls short of truly being a brilliant game. This is a plat-former where you don't move the character but instead you move the world around the character!! that's a bit of a lie as your character can run and jump but that's it. This opens up all sorts of fun and clever puzzles that make you think. The game can also become pretty challenging but it is just too short. The graphics are super stylized and fit the wii perfectly. I recommend this game to anybody but i just wish it were a full fledged game.… Expand
