Critic Reviews
The following reviews are used to calculate the overall reception for this game. All applicable scores are converted to our simplified rating system based on the specifics offered by each publication or the tone of each review. You can read more about how we do this here.
October 23, 2007 - Excellent - It's a huge world of wonderful puzzles to solve, with creative approaches to even the most mundane solutions; it's also a big game, and it goes on far longer than even the story would imply.
October 29, 2007 - Excellent - Even with a lack of identity, Zack and Wiki: Quest For Barbaros' Treasure is a must-own. Its wildly original gameplay and terrific presentation makes this a treasure worth discovering.
October 29, 2007 - Excellent - Between its extraordinary collection of cerebral trials, its comprehensive menagerie of shape-shifting animal-tools, and its skilled use of almost instinctual motion control, Zack & Wiki reveals itself as an unexpected, must-own treasure.
October 22, 2007 - Excellent - Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure is a dumb name, plain and simple, but don't let that deter you from picking it up because this is one of Wii's very best offerings. Not only is it beautiful, taking visual cues from Wind Waker, but it's really clever and equally rewarding.
January 18, 2008 - Excellent - With wonderfully varied levels, colourful, cel-shaded graphics and mind-bending puzzles that'll have you working those little grey cells into the ground, Zack & Wiki triumphantly makes its debut on Nintendo's Wii, the only console it could have appeared on.
November 30, 2007 - Good - Its superb puzzle design and ingenious mix of humour, cleverness and the occasional bout of trial-and-error recall the best adventure games in history, and yet its gorgeous cartoonish looks and innovative control make it refreshingly modern.
November 14, 2007 - Good - Zack & Wiki is certainly a breath of fresh air in this mini-game dominated Wii world. Anyone who loves puzzles, old point-and-click adventures, or just something good for their Wii should definitely give this a try.
November 9, 2007 - Good - With a console that has far too few quality titles, Zack & Wiki may just be what Wii owners needed.
October 22, 2007 - Good - Zack & Wiki is a delightful blend of the Wii's motion-sensing technology and challenging yet approachable puzzle design.

October 24, 2007 - Good - The best part of the game is figuring out how to manipulate the tools you're given by utilizing the remote.
October 23, 2007 - Good - Zack and Wiki is colorful, inventive, and just plain fun. It never manages to transcend the trail-and-error aesthetic endemic to the genre, but for most players, the unique experience and thrill of discovery will be more than worth a little bit of frustration.
