I've only rented the game, but I can see enough to make a conclusion about it.
The game IS physics. It's a physics based game. To play, you use the Wii Remote to aim a gravity gun of sorts, with an on-screen crosshair. The gun is activated with either the A or B buttons. You are capable of picking up nearly every object in the game environment. You try to find these "Elebits" - essentially small, scampering, colorful things that are what makes electricity - and use them to power all types of household objects. By turning on the objects, either by pressing a button or actually performing an action - such as feeding a disk through a disk shredder, putting a turkey in the oven, or putting a slice of bread in the toaster - to get yellow Elebits to upgrade your gravity gun. With an upgraded gravity gun, you can get more regular Elebits to use appliances to get more yellow Elebits - the cycle continues. The physics are fun to use and there is an in-game editor to make your own levels. I recommend it for review because it is the first Wii game to use physics in full. Calling the physics realistic is certainly a bit far-fetched (you eventually can lift a house with enough upgrading), but they definitely are fun to utilize and hunt for Elebits.http://wiimedia.ign.com/wii/image/article/750/750468/elebits-20061211051142000-000.jpg
