Zack & Wiki

Needs a thread of it's own methinks, to encourage people to buy it!
It's out today. Haven't gotten a chance to play it myself (grrr work!), post thoughts, impressions, pleas for help

what is this priced at around the place?

Mr E

It was marked as €50 in Gamestop on Wednesday (so I expect €45 in Smyths?)

Really interested in this, don't know when Ill get it working my way through a few games and that is on hold as I've bust up my left hand so playing the wii aint a pleasure but it definitely looks like a must have for the Wii.

im intrigued by this game...anyone played??

herobear

picked it up in smyths today, was pissed off initially because they didnt have any new releases on the shelves, only when i asked they told me they were kept under the counter(wtf?). told the server i had 'lost' my loyalty card, so he gave me a new card along with the 5 euro discount

Mr E

Just got the first 3 pieces of treasure. Starts off easy (really easy), but will start to challenge you by the 3rd or 4th treasure piece.

What kind of annoys me is (small gripe)

that sometimes you have to die before you find out what the traps are, then you have to figure out how to get past the trap. If there are lots of traps on later levels, I could see it getting annoying....

Fun so far though!

Zavvi is rebranded Virgin Megastores. Same with the UK Virgins too. They seem to be a bit over the odds. For instance 2000 Wii points are €30 in Zavvi in Blanchardstown and 25 in HMV. Classic controller in Zavvi €30, Game sells them for €27. That said I did get Lethal Alliance for the DS for £8 in Zavvi Derry just after Christmas

On topic - planning on picking up a copy of Z&W tomorrow, if it's available anywhere. Game had pre-order boxes for Z&W last night - and had pre-order offer of double Star points - unfortunately I forgot the price, I didn't order as It'd be a while before I'd be out in Blanch again.

this looks like we have finally another reason to buy the Wii.

Loving this, it's fun and clever, I don't even mind the one thing I've seen people complaining about...

instant death if you do the "wrong thing"

It is fairly short though, I'm nearly done with it

Mr E

You have to play through it a second time (with clues to find hidden treasure) ... The clues hint you to do something (run around something 3 times for example).

I believe the puzzles are the same though.
