This game isn't for everybody, but at least give it a chance! Borrow it, love it, buy it.

User Rating: 9 | Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure WII
Zack and Wiki isn't a game for everybody. If you're wondering whether or not to buy it, rent it or play a friend's copy. If you want it, go buy it! In my opinion, Zack and Wiki is one of the best games for the wii that nobody buys. Third party developers should be supported in their endeavors for the wii.

On to the review. It's not too kiddy, despite what others may say. The graphics are cute, and i chuckle continuously throughout the game. The point and click control scheme can be frustratingly slow to some, and extremely intuitive to others. The motion controls are slick and well integrated into the game. Gamestop does mislead a bit by labeling this game as an adventure. Although the storyline is an "adventure" the actual gameplay is very puzzle oriented. That being said, if you like a good challenging puzzle, this is the game for you. However, if you're easily frustrated, don't enjoy puzzles, or give up easily when you're frustrated, you won't be playing this game too much. I found myself to be thoroughly irritated at some points, but feeling genuinely satisfied when I solved a difficult level. The replay value is debatable. Once you beat a level, you've beaten it, though you can go back and replay for a higher score. However, if you complete the level the correct way, you achieve the highest score. So, there is a limit to replay ability.

If you like puzzle games and don't mind being frustrated every now and then, buy this game.
