Forums - Gaming Discussion - Zack and Wiki first impressions

Everyone does this kind of topics, so why not me?

So yeah, I bought Zack and Wiki this evening, and played it for an hour or so. Quite frankly, I can't say I like it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I freakin love it! Yes, every minute of it.

It has great humor, though I can see why it might annoy some people (it's very cheery, cute, but also subtle at times). The first 2 puzzles are very easy. After that... not so much. I finished the first level with the plane, the cannibal level, the temple level with that nasty chain-reaction-makes-Zack-go-squishy puzzle, and the level with the big fish (which was a bitch!)

I love it that you can replay each level, even more so because there are different ways to finish a puzzle. The system really works well, with that you can buy lives and hints (though I wouldn't buy hints, or I should be stuck for a week!). The controls are amazingly responsive and the wiimote is used in an innovative and fun way.

About the graphics: gorgeous. I know I know, it's cell shaded, could have been done on a Gamecube, 360 games look better, blah blah. Fact is: the game is gorgeous. Really, it's one of the prettiest games I've ever seen. Besides the small worlds, it looks better than Windwaker in my opinion. The art style is just flawless.

Do I have any negatives about this game? Well.. no. Not yet anyway. I yet have to try the first hard puzzle (the fourth one, the big one in the middle of the map) but I can't wait to play it.

In short: this game is awesome. Get it!

The game and puzzles get better the more you play. If you're hardcore you'll attempt to get all treasures (There are A LOT). I'm 43 hours in and I'm still trying!

Zack & Wiki 4 Life!

Add me for Pokemon, New Leaf, and Fire Emblem, Mario Kart 8.

The further you get into it the more challenging it gets.

I think only people that complete games like this can truly be called hardcore gamers, I'll bet there is not many who can!

the game recently got a price drop.. its only 29.99.. so pick it up :)



Hm, I just picked up No More Heroes, but I was seriously eyeing Z&W for only $29.99 in the next rack over. I guess I'll go back in a few weeks and pick it up when I scrounge up the cash.



I need to grab this game soon.



I've got the touch!!

Oh man I want a Donut X_X.
