But hidden away in this quagmire are a few genuine gems, but of course no-one buys them. That'll teach them to try something different!
One of these gems is "Zack & Wiki : Quest for Babaros' Treasure". It's a bit like the classic point & click adventures of old (you know: Monkey Island, Broken Sword, Sam & Max etc), but diluted into it's core best bits: solving puzzles & silly jokes. :)
Forget ever having to search for the one item you need to solve a nearby puzzle at the other side of a massive game world. Instead, the game is split up into individual stages which means you have everything you need to solve the puzzles nearby, which greatly reduces frustration.
Is that one puzzle stretching logic a bit too far? Use the built in game hint system. It doesn't feel like cheating as you get less rewards for having use it. No-one likes staring at the same damn thing for hours anyways.
The puzzles range from the obvious to the ingenious. Some of them had me using the remote in really clever ways I would never have expected!
It's an extremely charming game, I loved the characters in it and their "Simlish" style language does the job nicely without grating on you. There's some very funny slapstick moments in it as well which I wont be spoiling for you. :)
Get it if you:
- Want a proper game for the Wii.
- Liked the puzzle solving parts of the classic point & click games.
- Want to see the Wii remote get used in new ways.
- Like thinking outside the box.
- Hate Japanese manga-type styling.
- Prefer action-packed games.
- Wont play anything that looks cartoony.
