That is a tough one. GS loves PC games especially old school like point and click adventures. They gave the crappy Escape from Monkey Island a 8.something. Even so they hate Nintendo philosophy and motion controls. This game can get anything between 7.5 and 10 from them. Their reviews are very inconsistent I would not be surprised if it got a 10.

Will it be available tomorrow or is it shipping tomorrow? (aka can I get it tomorrow or wednesday?)

Wow, lasting appeal only an 8? 15 hours is a pretty lengthy game by my books (especially since Bioshock got a 9 and it's about that long).



Still don't like the looks of the game. That video was kind of blah..

I think that 8 is pretty generous for lasting appeal. adventure games tend to get a single playthrough. I take lasting appeal as "how good the game is after I've finished the single player campaign"

 



Help! I'm stuck in a forum signature!

Don't forget this game is $40 rather than the full price $50.



Keep in mind puzzle based adventure games like this would have low replay value because once you figure out what it is you're supposed to do, its trivial replaying.



8.5 from gamespot, same as Metroid prime 3 for them.

The Good

* Clever and unique puzzles that are challenging without being overly difficult
* Plenty of different stages to play through, some with multiple solutions
* Sharp graphics with excellent art style
* Good use of the Wii Remote.


The Bad

* Story and characters aren't especially interesting
* Sometimes grating voice work.

"All told, Zack & Wiki is a winner. It might not win you over with its characters or story, but it will with its wonderfully crafted puzzles and sharp control mechanics. It's just the sort of game Wii owners have been pining for, the sort of game that blends accessibility and challenge into one seamless whole, and does it without devolving into yet another minigame collection. And best of all? This game is retailing for only $40. If you own a Wii, Zack & Wiki belongs in your collection."
