elebits and soldat capper

well first this is first, i registered soldat. i had gotten a suficiant amount of hour of fun and entertainment and i thought it was time to pay my tribute to the guy who made it. the other reason i did this was because i was reading in the guys entree and apparently when he updates the game the registered people are going to get a little bit more, and the people who arent are going to pay a bit more. thats right, when our giid friend updates soldat the price is going up to 13 and he says it might go to 15. this might sound like bad news, but i dont think so, first of all hes not making registered people pay and extra 5 dollars and second of all, this means hes adding a bunch more stuff to the game. ive bought games for 20 bucks and gotten less fun out of them then soldat, so 15 is more then fair, especially if hes adding to it.


second on the list is elebits.

i got elebits over the holidays and it is pretty good. how should i go about explaining this.... oh ya! its part lemmings, part katamari, part shoot 'em up, and yes part gary's mod.

so whats the story line? well to be frank there isnt one... the storyline is so flat and lifeless that i almost wish i could skip them. but since they probably had the best photoshop designers out there to make the pretty pictures we see, well i guess its more then fair we are forced to see what they had to offer.

what i do like-

the gradual part of it the fact that you start with picking yp boxes and plates and TVs and eventually you pick up huge buildings. neat powerups, that are actually useful, AND are fun to use, for instance the vacum powerup is got to be the most fun ive had in a while where a giant vortex basically ransacks the world.the cute little elebits that do they're cute little acrobats while you suck them up into oblivion to powerup the city. that you can interact with certain objects in order to power them up such as putting the popcorn in the microwave or putting bread in the toaster.lame bosses that are kinda cliched but still add to the game. but most of all i like the physical interaction between the game and the wiimote. that part felt more natural thenn most games.

what i didnt like-

wlking through doors is akward, and sometimes irritating since the door forcably opens and yet a tiny object can stop it from oppening, and it forably closes if you dont walk through it right away. stupid black elebits that dont die and just get away, and the fact that there are BIG versions of these jerks. the game gets repedetive, theres not enough new stuff after each level and the story is rare, and lame, and flimsy.



well the likes compared to the dislikes are pretty good, so im going to have to give this game a 7/10! it could've been a lot better, with very simple changes, but the simple changes are bog enough that they degrade the overall experience.
