Forums - Nintendo - For the non-believers: Zack & Wiki flash demo now available

T013 on 05 March 2008

Advise to the people who haven't bought it yet: if you liked this demo, buy the game.
If you didn't like it, then buy it anyway: the demo's only a poor reflection of the game itself.
You could also just save yourself the time of playing the demo and buy it right now: won't hurt you ;).

That took me about half an hour, I was about to break my computer.

Playing further through the game made me want to break my Wiimote.  I guess I was just not into the challenge, but I didn't think the game was very forgiving.  I enjoy puzzles but not ones I have to guess and check to try to see where the developer wanted me to look.  Meanwhile, if you die in the game (and many things kill you) you have to repeat everything unless you save up money by beating the same puzzles to buy items that let you continue. 

I just think there are better games out there for people to hype up the Wii.

Ironically, that's EXACTLY what puzzle I'm on right now! (I bought Z&W a while ago but kinda procrastinated on playing it...)

[edit:  Now I've beaten it...]

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.

 You're new to the puzzle/adventure genre aren't you?

 In my book, just having a hint and resurrection system makes it a pretty forgiving puzzle/adventure. I'm used to hints being gameFAQS.com and resurrection being the "Load Game" command.

Demo was pretty good, not really a fan of Puzzle games, but if something simular comes out for Wii ware for around 500-800 points i would be tempted to pick it up. Z+W 2 for WW.

I have nothing good to save about that demo. The DS demos are better.

I beat the game once, and been meaning to go through it again to get all those easter egg type things, but got tied up in other games.

This game faces so many problems though, so it really does need to be hyped (or at least advertised). It's difficult, kiddy looking, niche title, weird name, no advertisement. And yet it still sold 300k. 500k would be nice guys!
