The Greatest 3rd Party Wii GameZack And Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' TreasureSupport High Quality Wii Titles!This isn't even about how good Zack and Wiki is anymore, but about something much more important. Telling developers that Wii owners want titles with high production values, interesting ideas, cool characters, and amazing gameplay! IGN - 9.0 Every once in a while we stumble upon a surprisingly excellent videogame - a title whose smart play mechanics and stylized visuals are so well married that we're taken aback by the end result. Not necessarily because the final product is a masterpiece, but simply because it is much better than we had originally expected it to be.GameSpot - 8.5All told, Zack & Wiki is a winner. It might not win you over with its characters or story, but it will with its wonderfully crafted puzzles and sharp control mechanics. It's just the sort of game Wii owners have been pining for, the sort of game that blends accessibility and challenge into one seamless whole, and does it without devolving into yet another minigame collection. And best of all? This game is retailing for only $40. If you own a Wii, Zack & Wiki belongs in your collection.1up - 9.0 That's the other thing about the visuals: They're completely and shockingly misleading. This is most certainly not just a kids' game, and it'll be far too hard for most children to play alone. It's a great game for parents to play with their kids, though, and equally so for pairs of adults (another issue for kids is that -- despite its 'E' rating -- it can be a downright creepy game at times, and it's oddly morbid watching Zack get impaled on spikes or Wiki freeze to death after a misstep). Some levels take a solid hour or two of perseverance, head-scratching, and eventual bouts of trial-and-error to crack.GameTrailers - 8.4Story - 7.7Design - 8.5Gameplay - 8.2Presentation - 9.0Other Reviews -Nintendo Power - 9.0/10Play Magazine - 8.0/10GameInformer - 8.2/10Do you Have 40 Bucks?
