Zero Punctuation reviews Zack & Wiki

Published by matthew at 3:18 pm under Videos

It’s been a while since we’ve seen Yahtzee around these parts, but I’m delighted to welcome him back. Not to spoil the review, but it covers a lot of the same points that Christian covered in his review of the game. My biggest issue with Zack & Wiki was with the motion controls required to use each item- a great concept, but it’s only great if the game actually responded properly to your motions. Thankfully, Yahtzee doesn’t let this flaw off easy.

Oh, and here is a great big ol’ NSFW warning. For those of you who are afraid of acronyms: this video contains a ton of swearing/cussing/vulgarity/profanity/dirty words. Don’t watch it if you are easily offended.

    Or when you had to turn the crank to move the platform.

    Or when you had to insert the thing into the other thing using the really big thing.

    Oh look, we have control issues :P
