[kawrght]

[TC9078]

i've gotten really boredith one piece, it's on hulu.com though



[493pokemaniacV2]

i got t for 10 :P

[lukerbom12]

In Zelda, I am very good at solving the puzzles...but I occasionally need a guide... but I think I would enjoy solving these puzzles.

[493pokemaniac]

who thinks that the second to last level (the level before the final boss fight) Is a real bleeping PAIN! IT TOOK ME 42 FREAKEN DAYS TO SOLVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ieatatsonic]

I honestly think that this game is NOTHING like One Piece. It's just a pirate treasure hunting.

[SwedishKuriboh]

I think the similarities between One Piece and Zak & Wiki are quite shallow... as someone who has experienced both, I never really thought much about it!

With that said, I highly recommend you give One Piece a shot if you haven't already, it's an amazing shonen-series!

[cobra12ist]

cjszero have you ever tried proffeser layton?

[cjszero01]

nope.

[VideoGameGod241]

I might rent this one.

[cashewmc]

another great review on another great game ;P i just borrowed this game from my cousin on thursday and the puzzles are getting to be quite difficult, i hate using help/strategy guides tho because it always ends up being something that i should have thought of. and yea though not worth mentioning i figured that i would say that i'm on my wii now lol computers are becoming pointless :O

[cjszero01]

Thanks, just wait til you get to the last stage and boss battle. I know, some of those seem like no-brainers when you get just a hint.

[MarioLinkGenofan]

i heard good things about most parts and bad on story... i should of got it at a bargin bin at walmart but now that whole part has been replaced by wii nunchucks :(

[cjszero01]

Yeah the story is really predictable no question about that. Most game stores sell this for $20 so if you've got the cash and time it's definitely worth checking out.

[MarioLinkGenofan]

well puzles aren't really my speciallty... (I play zelda for the action which TP had tons of and oot had tons of) but i'll see what i can do... I do hate point and click though...

[cjszero01]

I understand, yeah you probably should just rent or borrow this game first then.

[ballsbaby123]

Awesome review

[MarioSonic46]

i miiiight get this

[MPCozmo]

Man, I love the game. I can see this getting high in price over the next ten years, due to the fact that Capcom only sent the games out once, I think.

[pandaraph]

4kids awhile ago took the onepiece franchize and litteraly fucked it up!!!!! but funamation took it and well revitalized it. I highly recomend wactching it if u can its my current favorite anime right now! but unfortunantly its not on tv anymore sense cartoonnetwork cut toonami. so try finding some on youtube.

[slashzaku15]

Cool thanks for this review, I wasn' sure what to think about this game since it looked stupid good to know that it's a good game. i'll definitely get it when i get a Wii

[cjszero01]

I like it except for the no saving until you've cleared the level and that takes me about 30min to beat since I'm trying to color everything. I'll try to review it after i beat it, whenever that is.

[cjszero01]

I got it, I just haven't beaten it yet, but I'll try.

[pokemonking555]

yes good sorry

[cjszero01]

That's ok.

[SonikDude101]

Oh ho ho, great game. I loved this game to death but MAN was it hard. The hint system was very helpful but made me feel like oh such an idiot. One thing you should have mentioned was the music minigame. That was the best use of the Wiimote in the game especially playing to old Capcom music.

[cjszero01]

That reminds me, I have to find that part where you can play Dr Wily's castle from MM2 in there. I could never get the hang of it but I'll try again for that. BTW loving the Let's Play Bomberman64 The second attack, makes me wish I had it again, oh well I'll just to upload the Generations review in a week or two.

[pokemonking555]

the game must be god

[cjszero01]

you mean "good" right?

[venomforeva]

I think he ment a god among video games

[cjszero01]

It's good but it's not that good.

[BurnerMatch]

Zack & Wiki does look like a pretty good game, and the various uses of the Wii-mote reminded me of Wario Ware: Smooth Moves!

Another great third party Wii-game that I may recommend is No More Heroes!

[cjszero01]

I want to try that but the unessciary profanity keeps me at a distance. If it was clever profanity I wouldn't mind but when he decapitates someone and then says "*#$)# head" I have to wonder was that even trying to be funny?

[BurnerMatch]

Well, I never noticed all that much swearing (though that might be because swearing doesn't really bug me). However, that just might be because I got the censored European version and since they censored all the blood (turning them into the same black stuff used in Twilight Princess when Wolf Link teleports)!

I thought the game was fun to play, the story was zany and the bosses were just insane (in a good way) so I recommend it!

[cjszero01]

LOL, yeah blood and violence doesn't bother but unecessiary swearing does, my friend has it hopefully I can play his sometime.

[BurnerMatch]

Yeah, you do that... see if it's your cup of tea!

Something I will admit, though, is that the game is not without its flaws! In between assassination-missions, you have to go earn money which is boring and tedious!

[BurnerMatch]

While sure, NMH is pretty shallow (which is kind of ironic since it's gotten the "artsy"-label), but its uniqueness in both story and gameplay had me glued until I beat it just to see what would happen next!

[jetray102]

wow i didn't know that zak & wiki had so much to do but you made this review in the m iddle of the night or did poeple not watch it becasue i woke up at 3:30 am and saw this knew video

[erazor521]

Kind of reminds me of Wind Waker. I'll give it a look when I have the cash (which won't be for a while).

Overall, a great review.

[cjszero01]

Thanks, at least it's cheap. :) but this is just about as difficult as Zelda Masterquest, which is far more difficult than Wind Waker or even Majora's Mask.

[erazor521]

Sounds mind melting. But, I always love cartoony puzzle games. The point and clicking doesn't look too bad either. At least not as bad as old PC games where you could only click specific objects.

[cjszero01]

Ok, just remember I warned you. XD but sometimes controlling pointing and clikcing isn't very accurate sometimes, you'll see what I mean whenever you get the chance to play this game.

[Lucasbestzeldafan]

awesome
