Zack & Wiki is truly one of the most original games on the Nintendo Wii system. Where even Nintendo takes old franchise like Mario and adds little to the new version that has to do with the revolutionairy control system the Wii has, Capcom creates a new franchise that truly recognises the Wiimote controller as something quite different.
Unlike any other game available since the release of this game, Zack & Wiki makes such good use of the Wiimote that it's quite baffling indeed. In the game, you control young pirate Zack, always on the hunt for treasure, and his flying companion Wiki, a flying monkey. It's all a great excuse to place you in twenty-something levels that all consist out of big puzzles to reach the treasure at the end of the level.
The Wiimote works as a mouse, with the game turning into something of a point & click adventure. The difficulty becomes quite high early on in the game, but the Wii could use some hardcore games to satisfy the more experienced gamers out there, and Zack & Wiki does not dissapoint.
Together with the high-end production value (graphics and sound are incredible), this game is the perfect adventure for the gamers out there who have grown sick of the tenth version of a brain training simulation.
