Elebits: The Adventures of Kai & Zero

The  Elebits: The Adventures of Kai & Zero (see GAMESPOT Review) is a puzzle game sequel for the Nintendo DS. The graphics aren’t that great, but more importantly, there’s good gameplay, enough for hours and hours of fun. The battles with the bosses at the end of each level are also a lot of fun. If you can get past the “so-so” graphics of Elebits, you might have a winner on your hands if you enjoy a good puzzle game.

The original Elebits came onto the scene right after the Nintendo Wii was introduced. It’s been a while, but the sequel is finally here, although now for the Nintendo DS. The controls, of course, are a little different, but that won’t stop fans of the original Nintendo Wii game.

And there’s a time machine in the game! What game that includes a time machine could be bad?

Along with the artwork and visual design of the game, the characterization isn’t really there. Sure, your character is named Kai, but there’s not much more to it than that.

Elebits are used for energy in the game, and you have to chase them down and round them up to be able to get power to do other things. Elebits in the game have different abilities that you can use to get from level to level.

The game does have its share of flaws and things that would make it better, but it’s still a great little game for puzzle lovers of all ages.
