The best and worst thing I can say about this game is that it is far too short. It's a very fun game in all aspects, from hunting for and capturing elebits to solving Zelda-esque puzzles in order to advance through the game. In particular, the boss fights are a lot of fun and really push you to figure out how to beat them. This is also one of the cutest games for the DS and I wanted to find all of the Omega Elebits simply to find out what they looked like. I'm also quite fond of the art style used for the character portraits and cut scenes and would really like to see more of the illustrator's work. Stylus controls are good, though you can also use the buttons for movement and other things, which can help out a lot. The only bad thing is that I was able to collect almost everything in the game and beat the game in under 15 hours and, since the game is driven by finding solutions to puzzles, there isn't a whole lot of replay value. Still, if you're fond of Zelda-type games, this is a good one to play.

We just got Elebits for the DS. This game is SO much fun! It is kind of like an adventure game and a puzzle game all in one. You collect different "Omegas" that each have different abilities to help you get through various levels. There are so many complex puzzles to solve in the game. It is very challenging and makes you think. I love it (at 33 years old) and so does my nine year old son. I highly recommend this game.

I am an avid gamer, and I happen to be an adult... you know, one of those "back in my day all we had was a button and a stick" kind of people. I recently purchased a Wii and the first game I bought was Elebits, and I loved it. So, when I saw this game was coming to the DS I was excited. It isn't exactly the Wii Elebits and that's ok. You play as Kai, the young boy from the Wii game, and you are traveling in a magical bus to distant lands to capture Elebits and save Omegas (larger Elebits). It's a little like Pokemon in that there's the drive to collect all of the Omegas and run up your watt amounts. Plus you still lift rocks and trees and things to find Elebits. This is a great game for all ages... my only complaint is that the main quest goes by quickly, but you can play it through again with all of your batteries and durability boosts. And the second time through gives you a chance to really explore and earn the special Omegas. I hope we have another sequel like this one.

This game is an interesting mix of Zelda-style puzzle/adventure that also has some Pokemon influences. Your character, Kai, has to travel to 7 different worlds (revisiting some later) and capture different omegas, magical creatures that have a special ability like flight, magnetism, fire, etc... While in each world you have to collect batteries for your ray gun which you use to fight bosses, control omegas, and capture elebits which are used as a power source. The controls were very easy to learn, the graphics were great, and the character portraits are very artistically rendered and are actually quite beautiful. If you have ever played and enjoyed any of the Zelda or Pokemon games then you will probably enjoy this one. It is definitely worth giving it a shot.

Pros: Great gameplay, well designed puzzles that are challenging and engaging, beautiful graphics, game can be continued after the ending if you want to finish collecting omegas or batteries

Cons: Not much re-play value

The first Elebits game came out on the Wii. This game, although it has elebits and similar art in cut-scenes, is a completely different game. It's not a sequel and the game play isn't even similar.
It IS adorable, and somewhere in between Zelda and Pokemon. Elebits are little creatures who power electronic devices, and in this game there are also Omega Elebits. Each Omega has a different power - wind, ice, fire, melody, etc. and can be powered up once to evolve into a stronger form with points you get from capturing regular Elebits. Each world has the standard video game themes: fire world, water world, ice world, and so on...
The story revolves around a runaway bus that can time-travel to alternate worlds and a rioting of Elebits.
Collecting each Elebit is addictive and fun for the most part.
Game play is controlled effortlessly with the stylus in RPG format levels. Catch Elebits by buzzing obects (trees, rocks, etc.) with your ray gun and corralling them.
The only frustrating part is that it's easy to miss the things you need to collect -3 rare pink Elebits hidden in every world and colored batteries, and there is no strategy guide... There is also no in-game instructional on how to use some of the Omegas that you need to ride on or use with your character, however they are easy enough to figure out. At the end of every level or "world" is a boss and in the middle are puzzles to get through the level (moving boulders, track patterns, etc.)
Hopefully there will be a sequel to this game eventually!!

When I heard they were making an elebits for the DS I thought yay what a great game, then I found it out it wouldn't be similar to the Wii version I was a little sad. I found the game for a pretty low price at a local electronic store and thought why not.

The game is a puzzle / adventure game. You are Kai and you have an elebit that follows you around when you walk around in the game. You start off with one elebit and as the game progresses you get more. Basically you walk around solving the world's puzzle to get to the boss and fight the boss and move on to the next worlds. Also when you walk around the world trying to get to the boss, you will find other elebits, batteries to let your gun hold more charge and pink elebits.

You have a health bar that doesn't really matter at the beginning of the game till you hit the boss. The boss battles are kind of tricky you have to figure the right elebits to be beat the boss. The worlds get more and more dangerous and you can get hurt just traveling around them. Luckily there are unlimited lives.

About half the elebits you get will be in unevolved state and you have to charge it with a certain amount of watts to get the evolved state, very much like pokemon here where they are pretty cute in there unevolved state and look more cool looking in the evolved state. I would suggest to try to get your elebits in the evolved state as soon as possible because they use up less watts for when you use their power to solve puzzles.

I would say this game is very much like a Zelda game, where you have to solve puzzles for the land you're in and figure out what resource (Zelda it's with weapons or gear, with Elebits it's the elebits) you have to work with to solve those puzzles.

This game is pretty short though, you can probably beat in one weekend or in about 10-15 hours. I spend about an hour or two every other night on it and beat it in about 2.5 weeks and it was very enjoyable to play it that way because you can save anywhere (well except in the middle of a boss fight).

The only thing that was annoying was extend areas of the map are not very obvious and I got stuck because I didn't know I can go to a new area in one of the worlds that I needed to go to progress. Also there is a special elebit you can get by entering the right code when you choose the option to download an elebit, I don't know how anyone could have guessed this code without looking up the cheat for it. I would suggest getting this elebit as earlier as you can it's called big red and it extends the amount of time that an item has an affect on your ray gun, which is help when you're tying to evolve your elebits.

Overall pretty fun game and definitely worth getting but I wish it was a little longer.

I love Elebits. It's one of my favorite games of all time. It is a wonderful game-- I love to tear a room and a town apart looking for the little buggers! It's fun to start out throwing furniture and end up throwing buildings.

This is not Elebits at all. I wondered how they would get the range of detail in it. The answer is simple. They didn't.
