This game seems intriguing. I recently got it, and have not played much yet, but so far the puzzle system is very interesting. Basically, you use the Wiimote to interact with the environment. For example, one of the first puzzles requires you to search through several boxes until you find an object. Then you use the Wiimote to turn and examine the object until you figure out how to use it. Then, you use it.

This game is very different, and may appear to be childish. But dont let the looks fool you. It is an challenging puzzler. Definitely worth the rent to check it out.

This game had recieved some pretty decent reviews, so I decided to rent it, something I do often do. I'll just say that each and every puzzle is challenging while remaining entertaining. This is one of the bettter game experiences I've had on my wii so far, and I hope it only gets better!

Its about time a third party put out an original game...Z-Dub is a must play, especially to those who loved games like the Monkey Island series from years past.

I would say that this game makes the best use of the Wii Remote. The controls are never gimmicky like basically all the other third party titles out there. The puzzles are very challenging and fun. They aren't too annoying or repetitive either. It's a great game. I would buy the sequel should it be announced.

This game may look like a childs game and the name may sound kiddy as well...however, it is everything but that. It is one of the best Wii games out at the time of this posting. Its not full of action, its point and click. I have only played a few of the puzzles and they were amazing and I am told that they only get better. I am definetly going to buy this game and suggest you do the same.

I never expected this game to turn out so well. You begin playing the game thinking it's just a point and click title. But soon enough the game drops you from the sky and thats when the brain puzzling begins.

A very intuitive, fun, and addicting game that only needs the Wiimote to play. Definitely do not overlook this title, as I don't forsee it staying on shelves much longer after the holidays.

Supposedly this game uses the wiimote in all kinds of awesome ways and is a return to point and click adventure gaming greatness. I think that is probably the case, but the Japanese kiddiness and high pitch squealing was too much for me. I returned it after completing a few missions. You'll probably need to go to gamefaqs if you want to finish it on a rental. Will be worth a buy used in a few years.

What can I say about this game that hasn't been said already. Simply put this is one of a kind. When I first heard about it I have to say I wasn't really bothered since point and click games have never really been my thing.
But a combination of Capcom and the Wii's controls have changed all that. Basically Zack & Wiki is the best third party game on the Wii so far although it's been criminally underappreciated (by the US, it's doing fairly well in Europe).
All I can say is please if you haven't, buy this game! Unless you simply want third parties to stop making games for the Wii of course.

This game is brilliant. I love it. The puzzles are so original and fun and I love the fact you can change enemies into items. It's brilliant definately a must have for any wii puzzle lover or even adventure lover.

Great game. I bought it on the recommendation of the GameCentral games magazine. Hope more graphic adventures are made for the wii.

This game should easily get 5 stars if there wasn't the music mini game, it's an unforgivable mistake to put this in, the principal game is perfect, the music mini game is like a splash of **** on a white suit, stupid producers...

This game shows what possibilities the Wii has. Zack & Wiki for the Wii is what Another Code was for the DS, only that this game has more length and depth you could compare to RPGs

although more of an adventure-puzzle than a puzzle-adventure, zack & wiki does manage to take the former point'n'click genre to the next level with witty design and truly clever logical puzzles.

Point-and-click puzzles that encourage trial and error (and some clever planning if you want to succeed).  Not quite a return to form for the point-and-click adventure PC titles from the 1990s because each puzzle is separate from the overall storyline, but earn bonus points for some truly devious tricks and puzzles late in the game.  One of the most unique and entertaining games I've played on Wii yet.

Great game that is one of the few MUST HAVE 3rd PArty Wii Games, imo.


Definitely worth getting, both for the quality/imagination and the encouragement to show 3rd PArties how to make Wii games!

Can you say "INNOVATION", because if you cant, this game is not for you. This is easily the most puzzling and possibly funnest game for wii. Awesome buy. DO NOT LET THIS ONE GET AWAY!!!

A fun and addictive point and click adventure. Play as wannabe pirate Zack as he hunts down the pieces of legendary pirate Barbaros with his golden monkey robot Wiki. Puzzles are tough and clever and make nice use of the Wii Remote to complete. Keep you playing and thinking for hours.
