Emo-Iwata Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure Developer: Capcom Publisher: Capcom Genre: Adventure Platform: Wii Release: Oct 16 2007(US) Vids: In this game, you are in control of a pirate named Zack who's out to solve puzzles and discover the legendary treasure that was hidden away on Treasure Island by the great pirate Barbaros. Played with the Wii Remote like a classic adventure game, gamers point and click at objects they would like to use as they try to solve puzzles and get further into the game. Once you figure out what you need to use to solve a puzzle, you also need to discover how to use it, which is often by a series of natural motions and button presses with the controller. Puzzles start off simple but promise to get tougher as the game progresses. If you're having trouble, you can consult a friend for hints. The goal is to clear the stages without getting any hints. Prior to the start of a stage, the game shares with you the percentage of testers who were able to clear the stage on their own, so you can get a feel for the difficulty.

Emo-Iwata Posted October 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 1up review http://www.1up.com/do/reviewPage?cId=3163925 9.0 "Thankfully, Zack & Wiki is far more than the sum of its pieces, and it absolutely succeeds despite any minor problems. It's a huge world of wonderful puzzles to solve, with creative approaches to even the most mundane solutions; it's also a big game, and it goes on far longer than even the story would imply (though some people may never beat the last couple stages without assistance). Its biggest hurdle will be finding its audience, as it's the kind of game you don't know you're dying for until you play it (and its youthful aesthetic doesn't do it any favors). But it's worth looking into for every Wii owner, and if it isn't the best game for the system, it's at least the most "must-play" Wii experience next to Wii Sports. It's unmatched as a cognitively and creatively challenging experience, and just about anyone can pick it up and enjoy and appreciate it for what it does...even if they won't get very far.

CarbonCore Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 IGN Review http://wii.ign.com/articles/829/829301p1.html 9.0 Presentation Beautiful graphics and cut-scenes, but lacks voice work. Story is funny at times. Interface is perfectly suited to the pirate theme. Lots of extras. 8.5 Graphics Very pretty cel-shaded visuals that remind us of Wind Waker. Extremely varied level designs. Added graphic extras like advanced particles and heat distortion. Framerate suffers sometimes. 8.0 Sound Lacks voice work for the most part, but the one-liner character calls are humorous. The music matches the stages well. 9.0 Gameplay Point-and-click style adventure done right. Spectacular puzzles and great control. Lots of Wii remote gestures, a couple of them finicky. 8.0 Lasting Appeal About 15 hours the first time. Better replay value than we anticipated because you can go back and replay levels to up your score. Also, some stages can be completed in multiple different ways. 9.0 - Outstanding OVERALL Me getting this after SMG @Emo, did you play it? How is it?
