Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure

Zack & Wiki is a delightful blend of the Wii's motion-sensing technology and challenging yet approachable puzzle design.

"Its kid-friendly Japanese aesthetics hide a decidedly Western-style, old-school adventure game, and a damn fine one at that. Despite this, young'uns may be turned off, since it's unapologetically retro at times, and it's going to give any adult plenty to ponder."

"...we can tell you that the new playable levels at E3 were just as entertaining and mind-bending as the originals were during our initial playthrough months ago, and though we're still only seeing about 10% of the game, it's starting to show some real depth and true lasting appeal through its single-player challenge. As a quick note on the difficulty of the game, Capcom reps informed us that while many of the later challenges can be particularly difficult (some rumored to last hours even), a ticket system is being implemented into the game, which allows more novice players to cash in the coins you'll see scattered around the levels in exchange for restart tickets. Use one of these, and you'll essentially turn back the clock to whatever decision killed you, and continue on without needing to restart the level from scratch."
