that was pretty neat, does the game have more challenging aspects, or is this about the difficulty of most of the puzzles?

That is one of the easiest puzzles in the game and only takes place in one small confined area.

Many of the puzzles, especially further on required items and movement accross the whole vast level.

It lacked the feeling and fun of the game. The puzzles aren't always that simple but the way they are completed with the Wiimote is what makes them much better. Unfortunately, they simulated the wiimote very minimally in that demo. They even cut out the animations.

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 ;).

 This man speaks the truth.

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.


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.


Hum...perhaps you are right, that I just don't like the genre. That could be. I just didn't have fun with it.  If I die I just want to retry whatever it was I was doing.  Oh well.  Could someone compare Zack and Wiki to some other great puzzle/adventures?

Hehe I solved it in about 10-15 minutes. It's awesome! I definatly would want to play the full game!

The full game looks a LOT better than that as well, full 3D, bright colors, whatnot. And it's more fun using the Wiimote for various motion controls as well.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

back in the old days, if u died u restarted...u didn't get infinite continues and 12343432 savepoints

these days, most of the 'hardcore' games are so very easy because u can just run around spraying bullets and not die

it's good to see a true 'hardcore' game like z&w, where it isn't easy and u do have to redo if u mess up...



Bets:Missed by 420k I bet leo-j vg$500 that wii will sell 31 million by 7/31/08.  Sorry, I don't think he has enough vg$ to make it with all of u that wish you could. Hit, with room to spare I bet kingofwale a 1-week ban that wii Americas ltd sales>360 Americas ltd sales as of the numbers for week ending 7/05/08 (using vgchartz homepage #s)

Predictions:

That was pretty fun. It only took me about 3-5 minutes, but I enjoyed it. I'd love a game full of puzzles like that.
