Zack and Wiki is a very fun game for any fan of puzzle games. The lack of replay value does hurt it overall.
The level design is completely awesome, very creative, fun to explore and see what you can find and use to get the treasure. Some levels are retarded in the sense that there are certain things you can do but are hard to figure out. You can buy tickets for clues but those are not always very helpful.
The difficulty of the game is kind of dumb as well. As the game is open for you to figure out i did not enjoy running around trying every possible thing there is to do until finally figuring out what it is im supposed to do.
Very sharp graphics and nice animations make this game fun to play and look at. There is some lag/ frame-rate problems when there are multiple characters on the screen, which sucks because the parts i experienced lag were parts that did not have a whole lot going on, i mean compared to other wii games that hold a steady frame-rate with chaos on the screen.
The controls were awesome, some slight problems with the point and move deal but these are very slight and im most likely just an idiot. Very nice controls tho, no over use of the wii mote, everything was just right.
Over all this is a fun game if you really want to think and push your self in the puzzle solving kind of way. Lack of replay value really hurts the decision between renting it and buying it. I mean its a great game but after you complete it theres not much to do, once you know how to figure out the puzzles there not as fun.
