Amazon.com Product Description

A quirky, detailed puzzle game, Professor Heinz Wolff's Gravity for Nintendo Wii packs all the fun of real, scientific experimentation without requiring you to sit through any boring intro-class lectures. You'll arrange objects, take advantage of common gravitational effects, and learn from the unexpected as you tackle a new endeavor on each level.



Conquer 100 unique, puzzling levels. View larger.



Professor Heinz Wolff is a charismatic scientist and a popular star from the BBC's Great Egg Race.

100 Thought-Provoking Levels of Real Physics
Featuring the renowned German-British scientist often associated with the BBC's Great Egg Race, Professor Heinz Wolff's Gravity offers 100 increasingly difficult levels capable of providing challenges for puzzlers of all ages. Your big objective? Put chain reactions and simple structures to work for you as you try to press the button on each level. You'll find yourself rolling balls, stacking bricks, and trying to transport glassy eyeballs across the screen on funky wheeled carts. Of course, the biggest factor is gauging the effects of the real, accurate physics behind every movement.

Designed to Keep Puzzlers of All Abilities Busy
The fact that players can test and retest different configurations makes this game a great introduction to problem-solving for young scientists. But seasoned experimenters are likely to enjoy it too, since they'll quickly get caught up in trying to solve each problem in record time or with the quirkiest series of events.

Whatever level player you are, if you get stuck, the game offers you access to a bank of points that can be used to "buy" in-game hints from the professor and jump-start your thought process. And, just like real-world problems, the challenges in this game can often be overcome in a variety of ways, allowing for creative solutions to all kinds of conundrums.

Unique Backdrops, Experimental Sandboxes, and Head-to-Head Intellectual Combat
This game also offers 20 unique sandboxes that allow for experimental play and let you hone your deductive skills while creating crazy reactions. And it includes four mini-games that provide an arena for staging matches against friends, parents, siblings, and classroom rivals for bragging rights and real-time tests of your reasoning ability. Additionally, hand-painted background art in bright colors adds a fun, slightly whimsical feel to each screen, while atmospheric music helps ensure that you stay immersed in the professor's physics-rich puzzle-solving world.




Each scene presents a new challenge.

Product Description

Professor Heinz Wolff's Gravity is a game of 100 set-'em-up and knock-'em-down puzzles, all based on the laws of physics. Players construct devices from building blocks, levers, conduits, and other parts. True to the title, most puzzles are solved by harnessing the force of gravity, through a rolling ball, a falling block, or other such event. Some puzzles have players creating contraptions of Rube Goldberg-like complexity, although many have more than one solution, and often the simplest works as well as any. The Wii edition of the game also includes 20 "sandbox" levels, for player experimentation, as well as four multiplayer mini-games.

3.0 out of 5 stars Light years BEHIND The Incredible Machine, April 14, 2009
= Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Gravity (Video Game)
I've seen this game compared to The Incredible Machine[...] from years ago... although similar, it's not nearly as much fun as the old Incredible Machine games.

The Incredible Machine contained a wide variety of parts for solving the puzzles... balls, balloons, lights, dynamite sticks, fans, etc. So far, Gravity (we're at puzzle 30 or so), only provides a few items (balls and beams) to solve the puzzles. Sure, maybe it's more realistic (using gravity as the only force), but not nearly as fun.

Having said that, it is still quite addictive.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Game, May 20, 2009

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Gravity (Video Game)
Just got this today from GameStop...and have been playing it for the last hour or two while my kid sleeps....VERY addictive! I am on level 33 out of 100 and while they haven't been the hardest puzzles to figure out (I only got stuck on one so far, hoping they keep getting more difficult as the game progresses), the game is a LOT of fun to play. The simulated gravity in the game is VERY realistic. Definitely recommend, the backgrounds and feel of the game are really cool too. I really like how there are multiple solutions to most of the puzzles, not just one answer, and how you can keep testing your placement of items while you are solving the puzzle. Definitely get this if you like thinking and physics, it's a great game.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun and Strangely Addictive Game, August 28, 2009
By 
= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Gravity (Video Game)
This game is fun and also strangely addictive. You are given a few beams, some balls and occasionally some strange carts, to build something which will guide a ball to hit a button. The only force you have is gravity though, so you have to really think about how to accomplish the task with the tools provided. It becomes very addictive as you work your way through the puzzles. It is a nice break from violent, in-your-face games and requires only your knowledge of how gravity works. (The box mentions knowledge of physics several times, but don't let that scare you away - it's not like re-visiting your high-school physics class.) The soundtrack is quite repetitive (I would recommend putting it on mute). Finally, if you are looking for a flashy, high action game, this one is not for you.
