Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

An old fashioned LucasArts style graphic adventure, as seen through the eyes of Capcom’s Japanese developers, this is one of the Wii’s very best games. Zack the pirate is able to use objects around him, as well as employ Wiki the flying monkey to turn animals into tools (!). This results in a series of bizarre--but perfectly logical--puzzles as you try to recover all of Barbaros’ treasure. The graphics and use of the Wii remote are excellent, and it’s a great game to play either with the kids or as an amusing brainteaser on your own.

Product Description

Enter a world of puzzles and piracy in Wii adventure Zack and Wiki: Quest for Barbaros` Treasure. Rafted exclusively for Wii by Capcom, this point-and-click puzzle-solving adventure will have you racking your brains as you guide budding pirate Zack and his sidekick Wiki the monkey through eye-popping levels in search of untold riches.

As an apprentice pirate, Zack spends his days searching for a long lost treasure that is said to be buried on a mysterious island. One day, he stumbles across a talking skull that turns out to be part of the remains of legendary pirate Barbaros. The ghost of Barbaros promises to lead Zack to the island he seeks if the young pirate will lift the curse he has been placed under and bring him back to life by collecting treasure from chests scattered throughout seven dangerous locations.

  • Explore everywhere from a jungle to the inside of a volcano as you help Zack and Wiki on their quest to find Barbaros` treasure.
  • Interact with items by pointing the Wii Remote at them and clicking the A Button. Using different items will require you to move the Wii Remote in specific ways.
  • Spend some of the loot you have collected on a hint if you get stuck!

5.0 out of 5 stars Looks like a kids game, but the perfect wii puzzle solving game, 30 Dec 2007
By B. Norman (Beds, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
Althougth it has a kiddy style wrapping like most other Wii games this one is actually a hidden treasure. The game is split into various themed 'worlds' each on made up of about 8 puzzle solving games.

Those who have played the classic Lucas Arts games such as the Monkey Island series will understand the kind of 'collect items and work out how to use' style to the puzzles.

The graphics look great and the controls are quick and simple making the problem solving the focus of the game. At times the puzzles are really frustrating but thats the point, if they were all really easy it would be boring.

Overall one of the most enjoyable games for the wii, which will unfortunatly pass most gamers by due to its sickly sweet marketing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hidden Gem, 4 Jan 2008
By michael myers - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
For those of you who don't know the style of the game, it is like the adventure games of old. If any of you played any of the Monkey Islands or Full Throttle or Sam and Max or Day of the Tentacle or any others, you will love this game. Myst players, too, will probably love this game.

The premise is that you are an up-and-coming pirate named Zack who is searching for treasure with your more-than-adorable companion Wiki. You go through a series of incredibly clever and interesting puzzles that are themed in a variety of ways. There is a jungle section, ice, fire, haunted mansion, etc. You go through the level interacting with items in a very intuitive point-and-click way, picking things up and using them with other items in the game.

One of the reasons Zack and Wiki is so inventive is that it is for the wii. Sometimes you will have to flip an item over to use the other end--you do this by flipping the wiimote. You loosen a dragon's tooth by twisting it back and forth; you saw with a sawing motion; you turn keys and locks. It sounds silly, but all these minor actions really bring you into the game and also make the puzzles just a little more challenging.

Another cool aspect to the game is Wiki. Not only does the strange flying monkey creature have a great sense of humor, but when you shake him he turns into a bell. This bell is used to transform creatures into objects, like a centipede into a centi-saw. It's a very clever mechanic. A nice example of a puzzle would be turning a snake into a slither gripper (something that extends your reach), carry it to a frog on a ledge, and turn it back into a snake that will scare the frog toward you. Then you turn the frog into a frog bomb and put it into an ice crystal to make it fall and land on something else so you can...you get the idea.

Two things that might surprise you if you have played a lot of adventure games are that in this one you can and will die, often (at least I have). The game utilizes platinum tickets that allow you to revive at the loss of some points and oracle dolls that give you hints. With this system in place death isn't so bad, but it is unlike other games I've played. Also, you don't keep items in an inventory; instead you can only hold one at a time. This is a cool choice that I think neither hurts nor helps the level of puzzle.

Another feature included is that up to four wiimotes can be used. The other players can't do anything but draw on the screen. Basically they point at things they want you, the player, to interact with. It seems minor, but it makes this single player game more fun for everyone. Whenever I played it was with a group of three or four people. Everybody had a great time trying to solve the intricate and exciting puzzles together, and sometimes it helps to have someone to give suggestions when you're stumped.

In conclusion, this game is amazing, and a great deal at only £30. The sound is wonderful, the graphics are great, and the humor can make you laugh out loud. Those are just the minor pros, though, for the real power of the game comes from its ridiculously creative puzzles. The way you use items and Wiki as a bell really makes for some challenging and rewarding puzzles. So I highly recommend this game to anyone who likes this sort of problem solving. It is not fast paced, but it is a lot of fun.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely essential for all Wii owners, 10 Jan 2008
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
Unfortunately Capcom haven't given this title the advertising it deserves. It's a real shame as gaming websites and magazines have given it excellent reviews across the board.

While this game is suitable for children, don't be put off by the kiddie graphics. It's an adventure game with some really tough puzzles so in some ways adults will get more out of it.

Think of it like Shrek - a kiddie film but one that adults can appreciate just as much.
