Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure

The reviews may sway me, honestly was expecting the puzzle aspect to match the level of the graphics. *-neo

I have wanted to try this game since I saw the initial artwork for it.

I will keep an eye on this and purchase it (when it is discounted).

I'm pretty sure it's launching at $40.

Compass, are you playing this yet? It is so precious. It's precious and good. When the girl pirate pulls out lipstick and paints a scar on her chin, i'm in love. If the Bonnes showed up as a rival pirate gang, i would shat out of joy, not surprise, they'd fit right in.This is my favorite game of the year so far. The puzzles are ultra clever. I sat down to play a level and ended up playing for three straight hours.

'Bout to crack it open right now. Looking forward to flagrant preciousness in extreme quantities.

If you're interested in this game you may want to pick it up now. On my way to class today I stopped at 2 Gamestops, a Walmart, and a Best buy in NJ and NONE of them had the game, hell no one heard of it even. The one gamestop looked it up and said they'll be getting in 3 copies at some point but didn't know when. I lucked out and found a copy at the EB now Gamestop in the Manhattan mall.

I'm feeling this. Characters have a Klonoa-ness about them. Pirate girl with the underlings easily could've been Tron Bonne and Servbots. Given that it's Capcom, I'm curious why this isn't the case.

But, yeah, good stuff so far. Wii Remote interaction works great. Lots of sparkly treasures to collect, lists to fill out, high scores to shoot for.

Do you really think a game released in Oct. isn't going to be readily available through the holidays.

For some reason, I think Capcom made a small print run of this game as they werent sure how this would do in the states. IGN has a campaign to have people buy Zack & Wiki

Usually there are hordes of new games on eBay. As of now, theres less than 10 listings...maybe 5 for this game.
