Professor Heinz Wolff's Gravity (DS)

Another adult friendly puzzle game, this time based on simple physics, not quite up there with the best physics based game ever, that game is Fantastic Contraption (google it to play it on the web) but this game is very enjoyable. Basically you are given a start point and an end point. At the start point a ball will drop you then have to work out how to get the ball or another object to end up in the end area. you are given set objects to use to get to the goal, these objects change on each level. So you will making see saws, bridges and dominos in an effort to find a way through each level. Some of the later levels requier some "outside of ...  Read the complete review

These physics-based puzzle games have been around for a while now, mainly on the internet in terms of Flash games but also on the PC in classic titles such as the Incredible Machine. I have always been a fan of these games, and was pleased that Professor Heinz Wolff's Gravity had brought this gravity-based puzzle gameplay straight to my favourite hand-held console. The basic premise of the gameplay is a variation of getting from A to B. In one part of the screen, a ball or cart can be summoned into action. Elsewhere, a big red button needs to be pressed to get to the next level. This is achieved using your Inventory, in which a host of blocks etc. ...  Read the complete review

Ever on the lookout for a game which will exercise my mind and make me think, the other week I was looking through the DS games in my local video game store and spotted one called Professor Heinz Wolff's Gravity.

Having a bit of credit on my loyalty card I ...  Read the complete review

After beating world of goo on the Wii I was on the lookout for a new challenge and found Gravity. Following a similar concept to world of Goo (and thats far from a bad thing) Gravity had me using logic and physics that I thought had been lost forever the second I left high school. The fun and enjoyment fromn this game comes from the satisfaction of getting that little ball to the goal. Graphics: 7.5/10 Not too shabby. The graphics for Gravity were pretty good considering the Nintendo DS platfomr track record. Taking a slightly cartoonish approach I would say they did the job to a satisfactory level. Controls: 9/10. No difficulty here as usual the DS ...  Read the complete review
