Pocket Gamer writes: "Following its official unveiling a couple weeks ago, Konami eagerly showed off Elebits: The Adventures of Kai and Zero (known as Eledees: The Adventures of Kai and Zero in Europe) at E3 in Los Angeles this week. What appeared to be nothing more than a kids' game surprised us with a deep and engaging mix of exploration and adventure in what is easily one of the best titles at the show for DS."
Kombo writes: "Elebits: The Adventures of Kai and Zero is the direct sequel on the much talked about Wii game from 2006. You play as Kai and with your Elebit friend, Zero, you stumble upon a magic bus that takes you to far away lands. The only way to get back home is to find and collect special Omega Elebits to bring the bus to full power. This game takes a much different approach for a drastically different system by placing the camera above Kai as you collect Elebits to see all the action. Using the DS to its fullest extent, you control your adventure via the touchpad and discover powerful Omega Elebit powers that will negotiate dangerous planets and landscapes."
The presentation of The Adventures of Kai and Zero may be slightly skewed towards a younger audience, but it's still a lengthy, challenging and satisfying adventure game. If you can look beyond its Pokémon-like qualities, you'll find it offers a little something to suit a wide range of tastes.
Bottom line: Elebits on the DS dials down the visuals and ramps up the gameplay.
Recommendation: Buy it. It's time to get your capture on.
Elebits: The Adventures of Kai and Zero is a fun little adventure game that's simple enough for young gamers to enjoy, but substantial enough to keep us older gamers happy. It's a unique, charming little adventure, and DS owners with a taste for the cute and colorful will find it worth their time.
