View larger. Professor Heinz Wolff is a charismatic scientist and a popular star from the BBC's Great Egg Race. 100 Thought-Provoking Levels of Real Physics Featuring the renowned German-British scientist often associated with the BBC's Great Egg Race, Professor Heinz Wolff's Gravity offers 100 increasingly difficult levels capable of providing challenges for puzzlers of all ages. Your big objective? Put chain reactions and simple structures to work for you as you try to press the button on each level. You'll find yourself rolling balls, stacking bricks, and trying to transport glassy eyeballs across the screen on funky wheeled carts. Of course, the biggest factor is gauging the effects of the real, accurate physics behind every movement. Designed to Keep Puzzlers of All Abilities Busy The fact that players can test and retest different configurations makes this game a great introduction to problem-solving for young scientists. But seasoned experimenters are likely to enjoy it too, since they'll quickly get caught up in trying to solve each problem in record time or with the quirkiest series of events. Whatever level player you are, if you get stuck, the game offers you access to a bank of points that can be used to "buy" in-game hints from the professor and jump-start your thought process. And, just like real-world problems, the challenges in this game can often be overcome in a variety of ways, allowing for creative solutions to all kinds of conundrums. Unique Backdrops, Experimental Sandboxes, and Head-to-Head Intellectual Combat This game also offers 20 unique sandboxes that allow for experimental play and let you hone your deductive skills while creating crazy reactions. And it includes four mini-games that provide an arena for staging matches against friends, parents, siblings, and classroom rivals for bragging rights and real-time tests of your reasoning ability. Additionally, hand-painted background art in bright colors adds a fun, slightly whimsical feel to each screen, while atmospheric music helps ensure that you stay immersed in the professor's physics-rich puzzle-solving world. Each scene presents a new challenge. View larger. The game's colorful backdrops are hand painted. View larger. Atmospheric music sets the tone for fun experiments. View larger. |

Fun and Strangely Addictive Game by Siren1417 (Wisconsin)  4 Stars
August 28, 2009
This game is fun and also strangely addictive. You are given a few beams, some balls and occasionally some strange carts, to build something which will guide a ball to hit a button. The only force you have is gravity though, so you have to really think about how to accomplish the task with the tools provided. It becomes very addictive as you work your way through the puzzles. It is a nice break from violent, in-your-face games and requires only your knowledge of how gravity works. (The box mentions knowledge of physics several times, but don't let that scare you away - it's not like re-visiting your high-school physics class.) The soundtrack is quite repetitive (I would recommend putting it on mute). Finally, if you are looking for a flashy, high action game, this one is not for you.

I want more! by Harfus Noggleworth  5 Stars
August 20, 2009
I thought this game was great. We compare all puzzle type games and even some others to Gravity now. Some of the puzzles are easy and some will really make you think. I would buy gravity 2 in a heartbeat. I just hope the next one is 200 levels instead of 100.

Rather weak and doesn't make good use of Wii controls by Cindy Thompson (New York, USA)  2 Stars
July 23, 2009
I was rather unimpressed with this game. The puzzles are fine, but you can find similar puzzles for lower cost to play on the pc, where you will not be continually frustrated by trying to balance a ball using the Wiimote. I don't see the advantage of playing this type of game on the Wii. Also I find that sometimes you wonder why your solution is not working, only to find it's because you had to move a block just a hair over to one side or something -- again, it just seems needlessly frustrating on the Wii. Get this game only if you can find it at a great discount and really have a thing for these types of puzzles.

Frustratingly Fun... by Jack Welch (Kingston, WA) 4 Stars
July 20, 2009
This game is fun....although I have not advanced past the first couple stages(I refuse to ask for help..yet)....and it will keep me busy on cool, rainy Pacific Northwest nights this winter, I'm sure. Lots of fun for very little money.
