IGN said:

Every once in a while we stumble upon a surprisingly excellent videogame - a title whose smart play mechanics and stylized visuals are so well married that we're taken aback by the end result. Not necessarily because the final product is a masterpiece, but simply because it is much better than we had originally expected it to be.

Despite its off-putting box art and name and its misleadingly childish presentation, Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure is a monumental step forward for Wii game design. Hopefully ushering in a second generation of similarly focused and truly innovative games, it plays to all of the system's strengths and cleverly disguises its limitations: inseparable, tailor-made use of motion control, 24 levels of profoundly satisfying puzzles to solve, and a perfect setup for cooperative family play. It should tickle the intellects of all but the most strictly action-oriented gamer, and despite its small handful of mechanical problems, it emerges as an immensely entertaining, endlessly imaginative challenge that's an absolute must-play for Wii fans and detractors alike.

I honestly have been getting tired of my Wii. The console that once felt new and inspired started to seem gimmicky and mundane. But just as I was getting ready to send it down the plank to swim with the fishes, Zack & Wiki came along and breathed new life into the sails of my Wii.

Zack & Wiki is a delightful blend of the Wii's motion-sensing technology and challenging yet approachable puzzle design.

We know, it's October, there are a ton of games vying for your time and money right now. But this goes beyond just you. See, Zack & Wiki is pretty awesome. But because it looks a little childish, because the concept's a little hard to explain concisely and because it's coming out at this time of year (tomorrow), there's a good chance it may be forgotten. Totally overlooked. Don't you dare let that happen. If you've got a Wii and will be up tomorrow, get off your *** and go buy a copy. We don't want to be writing about this game in 2-3 years time, listening to you all ***** about how much sealed copies cost and how bad you want to play it. Now's your chance.

Wow....I didn't see that coming. Looks like it's something else I'll need when I get a Wii =O

This game does seem interesting. If I had the more money I can throw around I would buy it.
