Players construct devices from building blocks, levers, conduits, and other parts. True to the title, most puzzles are solved by harnessing the force of gravity, through a rolling ball, a falling block, or other such event. Some puzzles have players creating contraptions of Rube Goldberg-like complexity, although many have more than one solution, and often the simplest works as well as any. The Wii edition of the game also includes 20 "sandbox" levels, for player experimentation, as well as four multiplayer mini-games. | | | |

 Light years BEHIND The Incredible Machine Apr 14, 2009
By Lance M. Tost
I've seen this game compared to The Incredible Machine[...] from years ago... although similar, it's not nearly as much fun as the old Incredible Machine games.
The Incredible Machine contained a wide variety of parts for solving the puzzles... balls, balloons, lights, dynamite sticks, fans, etc. So far, Gravity (we're at puzzle 30 or so), only provides a few items (balls and beams) to solve the puzzles. Sure, maybe it's more realistic (using gravity as the only force), but not nearly as fun.
Having said that, it is still quite addictive.

 Great Game May 20, 2009
By eljaydubs
Just got this today from GameStop...and have been playing it for the last hour or two while my kid sleeps....VERY addictive! I am on level 33 out of 100 and while they haven't been the hardest puzzles to figure out (I only got stuck on one so far, hoping they keep getting more difficult as the game progresses), the game is a LOT of fun to play. The simulated gravity in the game is VERY realistic. Definitely recommend, the backgrounds and feel of the game are really cool too. I really like how there are multiple solutions to most of the puzzles, not just one answer, and how you can keep testing your placement of items while you are solving the puzzle. Definitely get this if you like thinking and physics, it's a great game.

 Fun and Strangely Addictive Game Aug 28, 2009
By Siren1417
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.

Addictive fun Jan 10, 2010
By Frank
This is similar to a PC game called Crazy Machines that I've enjoyed. Other reviewers have noted that this may have been better as a PC game, assuming that you'd have better control with the mouse than the Wii remote, but I disagree. Control via the remote is fine, and it's a much nicer experience playing the game on the sofa in front of the big TV instead of hunched over the PC.
We got the game for Christmas, and I was the first to finish, so about 2 weeks to solve the 100 levels. Your mileage may vary, but I thought I got my money's worth out of it. The puzzles are cleverly designed and often require innovative solutions. There are often several ways to solve a puzzle - I've watched my daughter solve them in completely different ways than I had.
Small minuses are that there's no way to see the "intended" solution. I struggled through several puzzles wondering what the designers had in mind - it would have been neat to see if my approach was the same as theirs. And there's a limited number of "hints" your allowed - you really need to budget them carefully because there's no way to get more. And yes, the puzzles do get harder toward the end.
The included "party mode" was a nice bonus. It's rather optimistically named, I think - if this is the centerpiece of your party, you've got trouble. But there are some small, easy to play games that are quite addictive. Our favorite is where you have a cannon shooting small balls at a castle made of blocks. Object is to completely level the castle in as few shots as possible. (6 is the record so far).
Fun for the whole family, as they say, though probably too tough for kids under 10 to solve without help.

I want more! Aug 20, 2009
By Harfus Noggleworth
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.
