Elebits: review
Eledees. (Meh. Why not keep the name of Elebits?) A game I happily got stuck into between translation work and other games. Hours of fun to be had with this one, not to mention how cute these Elebits are! I managed to run down the batteries in the Wii remote. That’s how good it is. None of the missions are what I’d term ‘extremely hard’ – although it might help to have a good memory if you’re trying for a better score – so it’s accessible to anyone who can navigate with the controls.
In the story mode, you will have four different types of missions to choose from once you’ve cleared the stage: normal (the one that needs clearing), score attack (5mins time limit), eternal (no time limit, just root out all the creatures, ‘give up’ when finished), and challenge (harder restrictions). Admittedly, I haven’t played much with the other modes, but you can edit your own levels (again, un-lockable depending on your performance in story mode) and exchange them with your friends, etc. You want to keep your kids busy and out of the way? Or simply improve your hand-eye coordination? Buy this game now :) My reason? They looked cute, and I wanted to lift things effortlessly for a change.
At the Square Enix conference, who should appear but…
Yep, another game with Chocobo as the main character is in the pipeline, this time for Wii. Also announced was news on FF Ring of Fates(DS) – that it will have a multi-player mode (up to 4 players), and that it’ll be out in Japan on 23rd August for approx. £25.
