Excellent

reminds me of zelda games, minus the adventure

I'm not going to lie, the game looked a little cheesy at first, but when i popped the game in i was pretty hooked. The game is basically solving puzzles with a kid named zack and your side kick wiki. you look for an old treasure hunters body parts but end up having to figure out all sorts of crazy puzzles. the way the game looks, makes me think of wind waker. the puzzles can be really challenging at times if you don't have your thinking cap on. in the end when u finish one of the puzzles you feel like a champion =). definitely a good game and should take a look at it.

really it seems to be just for kids, i thought id be swash buckling and moving around on my own, not just pointing and clicking.... it could have been an awesome game...great idea and story, just kinda boring and monotenous

Very Good

Great Controls & Creativity but too much Cognitive

This puzzling adventure is exactly what wii've been waiting for! The way controls were meant to be- you pull levers without pushing buttons! This game requires your cognitive skills to an extreme. I was excited starting out, but it quickly became an unrelenting form of Brain Age- some levels require things to be done in a particular order, otherwise you have to restart. I personally needed a strategy guide, but an offical one has not yet been released. For creative backbone I give it a 10; for controls I give it a 10; but for difficulty I personally had too much trouble-8.
