This is a fantastic invention of the Elebits series on the DS. Everything on a mechanical level is really well done.

I think that the console game is a more ambitious design, but the Nintendo DS title – a non-violent, kid-friendly adventure -- is pretty rewarding too.

It has great art, fun game play, a good story and it's a dream game for you collection junkies out there. It just goes to show; sometimes it pays to think small.

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.

Despite not being a technical wonder nor a very original game between the multiple titles of its sort on Nintendo DS, Eledees is a fun game, entertaining and with an interesting story which above all stands out for its good use of the tactile interface.

The Adventures of Kai and Zero lacks the innovation of the original Elebits, but the obstacle-laden gameplay is engaging throughout and there are some fun boss battles for players to look forward to as well. It’s not the brightest adventure on the DS, but it does have enough juice to provide some kid-friendly enjoyment.

Nonetheless, Elebits is a cute, enjoyable diversion. [Jan 2009, p.90]

The second Elebits game is profoundly different from the Wii version: it’s a bi-dimensional adventure game, which tightly follows the rules of the genre. It is funny and various, even if the riddle resolution may seems too easy for the experienced videogamers. Technical system is functional, but the art design lacks imaginativeness and “courage” (it seems a “standard fantasy tale” concept). Dedicated to young gamers.

The second Elebits makes its way to a new platform with a new focus, but it still makes for a very fun adventure.

Elebits: The Adventures of Kai and Zero is a fun DS game worth experiencing. Sure, it has a few problems, but the enjoyable gameplay will keep you busy for hours.
