  1. While "Twilight Princess" has been collectively anointed the Wii's top killer-app by virtually the entire gaming community, I would wholeheartedly disagree and offer up Elebits as my choice for the best overall Wii game to date.
  2. Elebits makes wonderful use of Wiiconnect24 and the Wii remote, something all third party companies (heck, even Nintendo) should keep in mind in the coming months.

    It may not be the most attractive game on the planet, the voice acting may bring back memories of "Barry? Where's Barry?" and the physics may be far from perfect, but the game is incredibly fun, with tons of extras and thousands upon thousands of Elebits to retrieve — and I was determined to push sleep off a little longer just so I could nab 'em.
  4. Despite the charm, and despite the sophistication, there’s no disguising that Elebits is a slightly thin idea. Although the locations get grander and the destruction more alluring, there’s little evolution in the task at hand. [Feb 2007, p.76]

    Solid, innovative gameplay mixed with gorgeous settings makes this a fun, addictive game. My wife and I are completely hooked. The level editting and sharing feature guarantees huge replay factor directly parallel online play in most FPS games. Expand

    Very fun and original game, but it might not appeal to everyone. If you liked Katamari or Pikmin, you will probably like this game. I would rent it first to see if you would want to buy it though. The only bad thing I can say about this game is the voice acting. Expand

    I was kind of shocked by this game, because I usually wouldn't even bother with a game like this, but surprisingly it was kind of cool, and kind of addictive. Expand
