it's a fun game! it is basically a puzzle that needs to be solved in a fun way. Graphics are great, and there are various ways that you can beat a level. It can get pretty difficult at times. It is a great way to enhance your critical thinking skills as well. It is not a battle game or anything like that. So if that is what you're looking for, I suggest you don't buy this game. There are two characters, zack and wiki, and basically you go to a level and solve that scenario by trying to get to the treasure. You control Zack, and wiki is just his companion who you can use to obtain certain items and gives you hint at times. I recommend it! It's unique and fun in its own way.
The main reason i write the review for this game is to encourage more people to get this game. Why.? Because it's such a great game that most of people will not buy. There are just way too many 'crappy' games on Wii at the moment where developers just chipped in to make a quick cash. Let me start by telling you the story of the game. It all begins with Zack (a pirate) and Wiki (a monkey who flies) who are searching for the treasures. In order to get to the treasure, you need to solve the puzzles. I find it that some of the puzzles are fun and challenging. Few are just super hard where I have to 'cheat' a bit by asking other fellow gamers to give me some hints. Control is perfect; you don't exactly control the movement of Zack. You just need to use your wiimote to point to specific location and he will follow the pointer. Graphics is very nice. It's like watching cartoon, very clear and crisp. While it's not a perfect game, it's still a very nice game to add to your collection. It will give you a satisfaction feeling when you have solved a puzzle. Get it now!Read full review
What a nice surprise this game was! It's not a hard core game but very entertaining when it comes to puzzle solving. I had never heard of this game before I bought it and I really think it's fun and challenging. Graphics are cute. It is controlled with just the remote and not the nun chuck which took a little getting use to but the puzzle solving can get complex as you get deeper into the game even though the game looks simple. I think you would like it if you like games like Jak and Daxter or the Lego type games.
Do excuse the ponderously-long game title. This game is a puzzle game with a beautifully-drawn, fully-developed personality. As you collect treasure chests with the help of a sea-rabbit named Maddy, you'll get pieces of concept artwork, music and sound effect snippets, and video clips that are enjoyable to view and hear, and they also give insight into the massive effort that goes into creating a modern-day video game. About the game itself: Truly a pleasure. When pieces of any given puzzle are solved, you receive HirameQ, the points by which your cunning and smarts are measured in the game. Many of the puzzles are quite challenging, but all are solveable. If you find you can't solve a puzzle, you may use an Oracle Doll to give you a hint, which are purchased from the Sea-rabbit pirate central, from a character named Granny. I used one, and I didn't need to, but it was late and I wasn't thinking real sharp. I would recommend never using them. I did use platinum tickets, however, and quite a few, simply in the interest of time. A platinum ticket lets you have a do-over, so you don't have to start the round from the beginning. These are also purchased from Granny. You'll come to love the characters in what is a truly great and inventive game. Where a game like Super Mario Galaxy is merely gimmicky (ah, but what gimmicks!), this game is ingenious. Please buy it if only to support brilliant games.Read full review
This is another must have for any Wii owner out there. I have three reasons for this thinking. 1) This game is unlike any game you have ever played on any system. The story is old but the way you play is not..Which leads me to number 2) The remote game play for this game is simply great. It makes a point and click game very entertaining and enjoyable without making it repetitive as point and click games get. 3) You have to use your brain more in this game than in most if any game for the Wii. This game makes you think harder than some of my college exams did. This game is good for both kids and adults although an adult can beat it in say 20 or so hours if they take their time to examine all aspects. Some of the boards can be beaten by more than 1 way so it's good to go back and replay. BUY THIS GAME!!! Not enough can be played with just a rental and it has great re playability. This game is not for everyone though. If you are a button mashing fiend then avoid this game...If you just want to kill something avoid this game...If you don't like to think when playing a game avoid this game like the plague. But for those that are looking for a different type of experience on their Wii, this game delivers the best.Read full review
