8.5 GS
9.0 1UP
9.0 IGN
8.4 GT
9/10 Nintendo Power
8/10 Play Magazine (Lowest score Z&W has received)

  1. Zack & Wiki was hyped A on the official thread, but as of yet no reviewer has handed it less than 8/10.
  2. Half of the reviews are AAA, and more than half are AAA if you discredit Play Magazine, and you should.

With talk of R&C flopping (it's only .5 below hype) why not talk about Z&W scoring two marks above hype. :)

This game, along with Ace Combat 6 have gotten completely lost in the mayhem of the R&C flop.

I plan to get both, but I'm still not convinced if I'll really like Z&W.

Yes, it's so that people reading this thread will know who is special or not.

I'm about 1 1/2 and a half in and loving it. If you like any of those old point-and-click adventure games from old, you'll probably love this game. Makes good use of the remote, and is very refreshing. I haven't ever played a game like it on consoles.

If you don't count Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition. Although it is a completely unique experience.

Yeah but I'm not really sure myself cuz I haven't finished yet. All I can say is that the first puzzles took me at least 20-25 min to complete and will only get longer.

The game doesn't seem to be at my local stores.

I'd love for it to be at TRU, as I have store credit there.

Because system wars is more focused on bad games and ownage. No-one cares about a good game that wasn't really hyped, and scored above what people expected.

My little sister wants a Wii for Christmas, so my ingenious plan is to push for her to get one, and then get her Zack& Wiki, nab the Wii and Zack & Wiki, finish the game, hand them both back. Play Team Fortress 2.

Ya, Zack and Wiki is amazing so far! This is a REAL wii game! :D

I love the artstyle, the game looks fantastic and the characters are generally charming. However, wiki's "voice"(er, if you can call it that)is quite annoying and doesn't seem to fit his cheek n tongue kind of dialogue, though maybe that's supposed to be part of the humour?

I'm about 2 hrs in and still on the jungle maps, though i think i'm finishing it up?!

Seriously, don't rent a game like this.. buy it. Ya, you could probably finish it in a single rental.. but its such a quality title that its worth having in your library, if for no other reason then to show the devs that we want quality wii games.

Oh, i was quite pleased to find this game for 44.99 at Toys R Us! Considering its 40 bucks in the states, that's not bad at all! - err, i forgot to make sure to mention that i'm canadian

This game was underhyped because people bought into the (bad) marketing and are still stuck in the "Matrix" of "hard-core games," forgetting that:

a. This is Capcom, and Capcom takes game development seriously for Wii.

b. Innovation is what scores big with game reviewers (theoretically anyways).

c. A game does not need to be "hard-core" to be fun.

Anyways, I'll keep an eye out for this one. Alas, by System Wars rules, if a game is not "hard-core," then it stinks; screw game reviewers and objectivity.

One question. If a game that is hyped to a certain score is called a "FLOP" when it gains a lower score, what do you call a game that gains a higher score than hyped?

Unfortunately, due to the R+C spectacle, most people have overlooked Zack and Wiki, which is a shame. I plan to get it eventually after I'm done playing BWii which comes out in less than a week.
