This game came out of nowhere for me. I realize that there are probably some people that knew about it and anticipated it for months in advance, but I didn't even know about its existence until very recently. It's a very pleasant surprise, and I hope that it gets the sales and recognition that it deserves. I used to play a lot of point and click adventure games on PC several years ago, and it's nice to see a new game that uses that style of play on a console. I'm a big fan of the way that the Wii Remote is implemented to solve the puzzles. It's a refreshing and original gaming experience in an industry that is sometimes running rampant with sequels. What do you think about Zack and Wiki?

It's a great game, humorous and challenging. One of the best Wii games to date, go buy it now.

That's where video game rental stores come in handy;)

The game is definitely worth a rent.

It's an ok game but (I'm probably going to be flamed for this) Not the greatest game I have played, I don't like it as much as most people

I would also have to agree that this is perhaps one of the, if not the, best game available on the Wii. It definitely belongs up there with the likes of Galaxy and Corruption... this is an awesome game...

No, everything that I have heard says it is a pretty long game... I have not completed it, but I could see it easily going that long...

I said rent it, because I don't want you to go out and drop 50 bucks on a game that you really don't like. This game definitely isn't for everybody. A lot of people don't like point and click puzzle based games so I didn't want to tell you to buy it and then it turns out you hate it.
