IGN has a new video up.  I think it is the one that I could never watch on the konami website.  The crazy japanese pop music I could do without though.

That crazy Japanese pop music was somewhat infectious .

This game looks like a fabulous tech demo...

Same thing they said about Katamari, I'm sure.

Seriously, more and more it looks like they're trying to model this game on Katamri, just with conceits that are not as outright wacky or intuitive.

A glooming peace this morning with it brings;
The sun, for sorrow, will not show his head:
Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things;
Some shall be pardon'd, and some punished:
For never was a story of more woe
Than this of Sega and her Mashiro.

Who's "they"? I sure didn't say anything of the sort about Katamari.

My reaction was probably something along the lines of, "Wow, I'm rolling a ball around...can we do something else now?"

Hey, the game was surprisingly fun, challenging and even relaxing.

I mean, it is extremely satisfying starting with a ball and picking up ants, then having a colossal ball and pluck whole islands and continents like they were daisies.

The sequel was unnecesary and the creator is a bit of a dick, but the first game I shall relish.

I would have bought VJ2 if it had co-op play. However, that feature got dropped. I blame the PS2.

Anyone else notice that VGRevolution is out-optimisticing Bill (even from when he was in his prime?) =P

PS:  Elebits was still boring at the press event last month.  I felt as though I was dozing off while playing.

As an FYI, there's only one staffer signed up to review Elebits, and that's me. Allow me to /naysay a bit more, but I'm going to be very open when I actually play it.

One thing I really like about what I have read of the game is the concept of moving around the enviroments, doing certain interactive tasks, and getting rewarded for it. Things like making a basket with the basketball or putting a turkey in the oven. It's like easter eggs with a purpose!

These two new videos have me completely stoked for this game all over again.Place
Zero G

In the first video the player is placing the elebits around and then playing the level.  This may mean that we can build our very own levels (then send them to friends through wii connect24?).  The second video shows the options of sandbox mode where the gravity can be turned all the way down to zero.  Looking at this game I would probably buy it just for the sandbox mode.

Quick question, is this game releasing this Tuesday(12/12) or the following Tuesday(12/19)? I see Gamespot/Gamestop/EBGames has it listed as the 12th while IGN and Kotaku have it as the 19th. I saw the 12th and I smiled because I thought it was the 19th, then IGN crushed my dreams. I'd love to be playing this in 2 days rather than 9.

IGN has a review up and it looks like a winner.  I already have it preordered so I will find out tomorrow either way.

At least, IGN think its a winner.

I would like to see a bit more reviews, since the game did receive some mixed impressions after E3.

I am beginning to get interested on the game, so I will rent it when it becomes available.

Like a dumbass i didn't see this thread, and made one. Anyway, for everyone who is picking this title up, if you could come back to this thread and tell me how the game is i'd be very apriciative. I'm on the fence for this game, I think it looks great, but i don't want to be dissapointed with something like a very short single player. SO thanks in advance to anyone who drops by and talks about the game.
