 Terrible name, FANTASTIC game! February 4, 2008

Yes, this game has been marketed terribly (the name alone is enough to put you off) but the Zack and Wiki videogame is a must-have if you own a Nintendo Wii.
I love the combination of puzzles, colourful graphics, ingenious gameplay and plain daft humour. Give it a try - I promise you won't be disappointed!
And Capcom - do some marketing next time!!

I've never written a review without completing a game before, but Im doing it now as a plea for other Wii owners to buy this so we can get a sequel.
I've only had it a few days but it really is brilliant. The Wii controls are brilliant in this game, and that seems to be the point of it - embracing the next gen Wii controls.
The point of the game is to conquer a series of puzzles in order to find treasure chests that contain parts of an old ghostly pirate. Its done in the traditional point and click style of the Monkey Island and broken sword games. The wii remote though gives the genre a new lease of life as the gesture controls work so well.
Most of the point and click adventures in the past contained puzzles which were always solved by the player finding and combining certain items
in order to progress. The same basic principle is used in Zak & Wiki but taken on a huge step as by gesturing the wii remote you can use the Items you find rather than just clicking on them. This is great, because it gives the puzzles so much more depth. Now its not only what Items you need, but how do you use them? Opening umbrellas whilst falling off a cliff, cranking leavers, Using hammers to whack moles, sawing through wood the list just goes on and on, and offers a new level of immersion to an ailing genre.
One of the things that made Monkey Island great was the script and the sense of humour. While Zak & Wiki could never claim to have the intelligent script or wit of the Monkey Island series, it does make up for it with excellent visual gags as well as oozing charm from every pore.
I would strongly recommend EVERY wii owner to buy this game. Its fantastic for all ages. Its HUGE (40 hrs plus - apparently). It uses the Wii controls brilliantly, and if everyone buys it then we may see companys other than Nintendo really using the Wii to its full potential.
This game wouldn't work on the PS3 or 360, its something uniquely Wii and something all Wii owners should own. BUY IT!
The ESSENTIAL Nintendo Wii game January 26, 2008

From the moment you load it up you know you're in for an amazing and very funny gaming experience. As others have said, it may look like it is aimed at young children but for anyone who enjoys action adventures/puzzle games this must be one the best. Unlike other Wii games this uses the Wii remote very well, making for a better gaming experience rather than just being used for the hell of it, Unlike other Wii games It isn't a simple group of mini-games but easy enough to get into, with a good learning curve and becomes more and more challenging. If you own a Wii, I urge you to go out and buy this game, without third-party games like this, the Wii will never get the kind of titles you see on PS3 or 360, more importantly get it because it is a Wii exclusive that is sheer gaming gold. Here's to more Zak and Wiki....
