To put it mildly, all sales figures suggest that Zack and Wiki didn't sell very well. While this game received a lot of buzz from the major gaming websites (notably IGN), it just didn't seem to convince enough people to give this game a try. Having wasted a couple hours of my life on this game, I now believe that all of those Wii owners who passed this title over made the right choice. The best way I know how to describe this game is a combination of frustrating old adventure style games (Indiana Jones, Myst, etc.) combined with tacked on motion controls. If that sounds like a promising combination of gameplay mechanics, you may very well like this game far more than I did. For me, the only redeeming quality of the game was that my 2 year old son really liked watching the characters (hence the extra half star). I can't recommend this game to anyone and think that this may be proof that the old school adventure style game is a genre that just doesn't have much relevance in the modern gaming landscape.
