The MBoard

Call me what you want. Zach And Wiki: Quest for Barbaros’ Treasure is the best game for the Wii that I have played yet. I'm not kidding, this game has some of the most responsive Wii-remote controls that I have seen. By looking at the front cover for the game you may get the wrong idea but I'm telling you.... look past that!

Buy this game! You don't see this type of game anymore...Its actually a point a click game very similar to some of the old MS-DOS Luca Arts games.

At only 30$ you can't go wrong...Don't give up on Capcom yet, they might actually be trying to make decent games again.

Doesn't everyone universally love Z&W?

Well, with Brawl coming I won't be getting any other games for a bit.
But after that I might try this.

Doesn't everyone universally love Z&W?

Only in a perfect world. Capcom finally does something right, and it does not get the recognition in deserves.

It sickens me.

I thought the title of this thread said "Best Wii Game Yeti!" and was disappointed that there was no Yeti to be found. Then I saw the word Barbados and was like HWHAT? so I need to know what this is all about. Never heard of Z&W.

I hate them for using a name that reminded me of Barbossa.

It's pretty cool when you get past the SO-ANNOYING-IT'S-INFURIATING opening scene. I haven't played much past the first boss dude, but damn, I felt awesome when I solved those puzzles without help. Even though they weren't that hard and they probably get even better but yeah.

I would like to try this game, but I don't feel any true desire to buy it.

Plus, y'know, Brawl.

Never heard of it? Check it out on Amazon.  Zach And Wiki Quest for Barbaros’ Treasure (http://www.amazon.com/Zack-Wiki-Quest-Barbaros%252019-Treasure/dp/B000P297ES).

Don't be deceived by the front box art of the game...Its much better than it looks.

And guys...You can't tell the difference between a exclamation point and an i? Geez.

No.
¡¡¡¡HOLA!!!!
iiiiHOLA!!!!

So it's like those old Lucas Arts games you say? I'm intrigued. I lost my "Grim Fandango", which upsets me. Is this any replacement?

Also, is it challenging?

The first few levels are pretty easy, but after that it gets a harder and harder. I'm still working on the game so I can't really tell you exactly how hard it gets. Its supposedly has over 40 hours of gameplay.

Each mission has a hardness rating level between 1 and 10. I've played some ones rated at 6 that were pretty hard.

Oh yeah, I've seen that. Seems ok, I'll rent it sometime and try it.

Barbados is place, dingus. A place my father is from.

Well you guys convinced me to buy it, but my bank screwed some stupid thing up and now I owe them 70 dollars. No monies.  >:(

Good thing I pre-paid Brawl.

You know if the bank makes an error in your favor you're allowed to keep it... Unless it's like the IRS coming after you... For 70 dollars.

It wasnt a bank error. It's... complicated.

Alrighty then.

I absolutely hate my bank.

Yeah. And from now on, whenever I get paid, I'm going and getting cash. No cards.

Yeah, I know. I'm talking about the character Barbaros from the game's title. Some old legendary pirate dude who got cursed and his body parts (among other things of his) were turned into treasure and scattered across the land that Zack and Wiki are in.

I know I'm just #####in' with ya. We cool, dog. We cool.

But I didn't know it was the name of a character in this, and thought it was the setting. So I've lost a bit of interest.

Yeah, I don't really find any of the characters likable at all, but the game itself has been enjoyable for the majority of the time I've played it.
