I can’t believe I’m about to type this, but check this out:Elebitsis actually Elegood. It no longer Elesux. Yes, me, Robert “Elesux” Summa is here to tell you that there is hope inElebitsland. I’m as amazed as you are, trust me. So, how do I know it no longer Elesux? Well, I actually got to sit down in a normal room and play a longer, more final build of the game.
First off, the game was much easier not only because I was sitting down comfortably, but also because I now have some good experience with the Wiimote. I was told that other noob gaming journos and PR types had trouble withElebitsbecause they aren’t as awesome as I am with the controls — thank youZelda.
But, perhaps the biggest improvement is that the folks at Konami seemed to have nailed down the actual preciseness of the Wiimote and how you move to the edge of the screen to turn yourself around — something I hope thatRed Steelalso nails down before it ships, in fact,Elebitsactually gave me hope that it could be done properly.
Overall, the game is fun, highly-addictive, and has this veryKatamari Damacyfeel to it. The bigger levels give you more time and you even have certainElebitsto collect and find and unlock. I poked around a sort of “extras” menu and saw that the game will show you and give small bios of certainElebitsyou’ve come across — some are even evil and hurt you by accident.
Due out sometime next month,Elebitshas suddenly turned into a title that will actually be respectable and fun — not to mention, it has multiplayer for you and your Elebuddy. Color me shocked, but I actually am looking forward toElebitsnow. God I’m pathetic.
