Zack & Wiki: Quest For Barbaros’ Treasure On Nintendo Wii
If you like adventures and searches for treasure, then Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros’ Treasure might be just what you’re looking for. Not only that, but it['s also very reasonably priced at $29. Developed by CAPCOM, a company known for its innovative touches as well as arcade games, the game already sounds interesting.
Anyway, Zack is young boy who is looking for treasure with his friend Wiki, a donkey-helicopter who is able transform into a bell that can turn Zack's enemies into useful items for Zack to use. There are other items that you should look for in order to solve puzzles and complete the mission, but Zack can carry only one item at a time. Action are also performed with the Wii motion controllers.
The true adventure begins, however, when they find the treasure containing the golden head of Captain Barbaros which promises to give them all his fortune as well as his ship if they will find and collect all his lost body parts. That's not going to be easy as you'll meet other adventurers who are looking for the same and are willing to kill you in order to do so.
According to SeanbaJuice it's not like other puzzle games and that makes the game interesting to play, but mentions the bad side as well.
The description of the game stated that it is a puzzle solving game. I do like puzzles, so why not give it a chance. I soon found that this game is not for any ordinary puzzle solver.

Two main items stand out in my mind as being negative aspects of the game. The first is the amount chatting that takes place between characters. Those conversations can get quite lengthy at the beginning and the end of the game. The second negative thing I found about this game is its unexpected difficulty. WOW! Just when you think you are the all amazing puzzle solving master, think again.
Long conversations are bad, but you can skip them. However, difficult gameplay is frustrating and there will be places where you have to restart levels many times. Even so, Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros’ Treasure remains one of the best and cheapest Wii games available to date.
Enjoy the trailer.
