 Mom's game April 6, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Read such great reviews for this game between Nintendo Power and Amazon, I had to have it. This is my game. Son finally did start his own game now instead of stealing the controller from me all the time. Challenging puzzles have kept us interested. Not too embarassed to admit the few times we have had to make a quick visit to [...] to get a hint. Nice to have a place to get information rather than the game not getting played because we are stuck. Overall the game is usually intriguing, sometimes frustrating, but fun. Definately lived up to the reviews.
Super Fun! April 1, 2008

You have to stick through the very long and somewhat annoying introduction to this game to get to the good stuff. But once you're there, it is quite challenging to figure out how to do everything. I admit that the kids will sometimes look for cheats on the internet to solve some of the tougher levels, but usually they are able to figure most of it out through trial and error. Surprisingly, we have found this game to be fun with several of us talking through what to do even though only one player moves the characters around. We have problem solved as a family which has made this game highly interactive and enjoyable! It's a winner!
 The not-so-great aspects of Z&W March 25, 2008

If you've read any other of the Z&W reviews, I'm sure you've heard all about the general game play and the games many positive aspects, thus with this review, I will be focusing on two issues I had with this title.
Z&W hits the player with many interesting and clever puzzles that often use the Wii remote in new ways, however, like all puzzle and point-and-click games, once you have solved these puzzles and finished the game, there's nothing left to do. Sure, you can play through the game again and find additional secret treasure or try to improve your score, but the fun in Z&W is in figuring out how to manipulate the game environment to get around the obstacles in your way, not finding randomly spawning secret treasure or beating your own high score. Once you've played through the game, replaying the game just involves recalling how you beat a level the first time. Nothing new is included.
One other issue with the game is the difficulty curve. The game is certainly meant to be a brain teaser and it does just that for the vast majority of the game. However, the last 2-3 stages, the difficulty shoots up in a very drastic way. Practically every wrong move results in death, as compared to the rest of the game where there is far more leeway. In the rest of the game, typically when you mess up, you can try again. In these last few levels, when you mess up, you have to start over. There was no steady increase in difficulty or sudden death moments throughout the game. It just happens all of a sudden on the last few levels.
I commend Capcom for trying to create a new IP. Should this game get a sequel, I sincerely hope the problems that I mentioned be corrected. However, due to the lack of replayability and the sudden change in difficulty, I must say that this title is a rental at best.
Like Sierra / LucasArts Adventures (if you're old enough to remember!) March 21, 2008

Fantastic game. Uses the Wii remote in the best fashion possible -- makes you get into the game a lot more.
Almost a perfect adventure game. If you like the Space Quest, Indiana Jones style games, this fits in there.
There is now a FLASH DEMO on the web that you can play to see if you'll like the game.
Great Game March 14, 2008
Best game ever! If you like puzzles, and being mentally challenged you will love this game.
