Argos 567/8808: Eledees - Wii

I first tried Eledees (a.k.a. Elebits, internationally) at a friend's house and because I dived straight in without really understanding the gameplay, I wasn't that impressed. But I gathered my friends had persevered and found it good, so when we found it for ten pounds we took the plunge. Basically the game is set in a typical suburban house and you explore rooms trying to hunt the eponymous Eledees and in so doing, crank up the power on your capture gun so as to collect even more Eledees (many of which hide under and in increasingly heavy objects which have to be moved, shaken etc) in the process. It's surprisingly compelling, and the time limits are tight enough to be challenging and persuade repeated attempts. Some reviews bemoan the 3D graphics, but they are excellent in a slightly cartoony feel and rarely slow down even with lots of furniture being thrown around the room.
