Title: Zack and Wiki: Quest for Barbaros treasure, point and click adventure for Wii
Post by: lordtodd75 on October 25, 2007, 02:12:46 pm

Zack and Wiki is a point and click adventure from Capcom for the wii. I was lucky enough to pick a copy of this game up since it seems to be in very limited production. All I can say is that it is a godsend. Anyone familiar with the old point and clicks ala maniac mansion, kings quest, leisure suit larry, etc. will fall in love with this game. This is also being billed as the first game to absolutely need the wiimote to control it and I can vouch for that statement. This game would be unplayable with any other controller.

Here is a sample of the gameplay:

Here are some reviews:
ign gives it a 9 out of 10-              http://wii.ign.com/articles/829/829301p1.html
gamespot gives it a 8.5 out of 10- http://www.gamespot.com/wii/puzzle/projecttreasureislandz/review.html
1 up gives it a 9 out of 10-            http://www.1up.com/do/reviewPage?cId=3163925

To top it all off, the game is $10.00 cheaper then the average wii title, you can't beat $39.99 for a brand new game.
So pick this game up if you can find it, you wont be sorry!! Support 3rd party titles!!

It is rapidly becoming time to get a Wii.

I havent had much time to play but this game is great so far. It is very challenging, especially if you are trying to limit your deaths. You can get hints and you can use dying as a process of elimination, but I dont recommend either of those if you want the full experience. best game I played on the wii! Better then Zelda and Super Paper Mario! Buy it!

Yeah . . . the art-style really turns me off.  But I still want the game very much.  I miss the glory days of adventure games.  LucasArts and Sierra have abandoned us  :)
