Alright, you up for using that near dead, badly treated, near dead brain. Ya know, that thing between your ears? Inside your skull? Tells your heart to pump? Makes you breathe? Oh, whatever, all you need to know is that you must think. You heard me, THINK!

So yeah, you’ll be solving puzzles in this multiplayer Wii game. Most of them involve NOT getting killed, but some involve not getting the treasure crushed. Seriously, you’ll be rolling boulders and playing with fire. AND SOMETIMES EVIL CULTISTS THAT WILL BITE YOUR HANDS OFF!

Pros	You use your brains to solve puzzles Your friends can help you! You get to play as a pirate! You can use the wiimote’s motion sensitivity You get a sweet yellow flying monkey!
Cons	The puzzles can get really difficult Plot is fairly straightforward

Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros’ Treasure Gameplay

CONTROLS

Well, the game’s features a point and click styled puzzle solving, and often times will force to look around.

To look around, press be, then move your wiimote pointer around.

To loot goods, press “A” to pick ‘em up. Except you can only hold one at any time. No matter how muscular Zack is, you only get one. Oh, and you shake for Wiki.

Gameplay

You’re a pirate looking to strike it rich. Sooooo…you try for Barbaros’ treasure, only a rival pirate gang shoot you out of the sky, and your pilot ditched you.

Eventually you meet up with the ghost of Barbaros, and, in exchange for fixing his body, he’ll give you his legendary ship.

Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros’ Treasure Multiplayer

So, your friends will slightly help you. They’ll point around to highlight stuff you might find useful. Yeah. That’s it. I’ve got better uses for my friends then that, but ya know, at least they CAN help.

Conclusion

Zack and Wiki is a game that’ll have your mind trying to eat itself, even IF you’re really smart. While you’ll often times be pointing and pressing, you can also be pulling and using the wiimote like a real item! You’ll be fishing, as well as spiking soup with sleepy time mushrooms.

Zack and Wiki isn’t a must have, but it can provide hours of entertainment. Ya know, assuming you don’t get angry and want to smash your TV over it. Otherwise, Zack and Wiki is a great puzzle game.
