A solid title that uses the Wiimote and Nunchuk controls extremely well. If you're not in it for the offline 4 player multiplayer, which isnt all that great, or the level building then this is probably a rental. Though, if you want to get perfect rankings on all the levels youll likely want to make it a purchase. [JPN Import]
The tactile sensation of pointing at a popcorn cart and flinging it into the stratosphere is interesting and fun, but simple movement and navigation will occasinally be a needlessly frustrating obstacle. [Jan 2007, p.106]

If you're looking for a visual stunner, Elebits is not for you. But if you just want a really fun outing that's every bit as original as it is engaging, I think Elebits is your game. This title is destined for sleeper status.

Elebits is a great game sadly held back by the hardware it was made for. The concept is fantastic, and the early levels show the potential of the game beautifully. The music, composed by the BeatMania legend himself, Naoyuki Sato, is incredible stuff. The game really does create this wonderfully magical atmosphere of being a child alone in the dead of night, thanks to the whimsical soundtrack and the way things are lit. The Missions are fun, and varied, and there's plenty of replay value in collecting the Hidden Elements, getting S-Ranks in missions, and messing around with the level creator. The control is excellent, and is something that the game excels in. Taking a first person shooter and applying a completely new spin on it is amazing, and this game works so well with the Wii Remote and Nunchuck combo. Sadly, the game just doesn't run all that well after Mission 10. The second you step outside of Kai's house, the game struggles to perform well, lagging constantly, and framerate drops in the later missions are near constant. This is a problem that extends to the Level editor as well, there's just not enough power in the Wii to handle this game. This is a game that I think would be so great remade in VR with more powerful hardware. If the console running this game could properly handle the physics engine without extreme lag, it would be near perfect.

Elebits is the game where everything is done right the gameplay, storyline, characters (the voice acting isn't that good for Kai), and boss battles are all done incredibly well and I don't know any other FPS which doesn't involve any killing.

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.

If you own a Wii and want something that not only uses the controller to its fullest and provides a unique since of humor and game play, then Elebits should be in your Wii library. A great first wave title indeed.

Elebits is original, addicting, easy to pick-up and play, and comes highly recommended. However, because of its relatively short length, a rental might be in order to decide if the extra features are worth the money.

It's not an essential purchase, but certainly one that makes more inventive use of the hardware than some other Wii launch titles.

As a simplistic hybrid of a shooter and hide-and-go-seek, Elebits works best as a demonstration for what the Wii's motion sensing technology is capable of--though it's not a half bad game, either.

The game is easy to pick up, but as the levels continue it becomes clear that the frustrations are not going to be eased, and the various modes are just repeating something you've already played.

During my time with Elebits, I couldn’t help but think in the back of my mind that this game is just a long tech demo and nothing more. And paying full price for what a tech demo is just insane.
