It's far from the levels of classic adventure games such as the Monkey Island series or Grim Fandango. There's no deep storyline, just short quick moments of comedy. Unfortunately, the story isn't quite as interesting just as I had suspected because if you're an Anime fan, you'll most likely have seen the crazy antics of the cast many times before. You'll hear Wiki the monkey cry out, "Za-ku!" instead of "Zack" and the pirate rival Rose shouting the odd, "Chotto!" Those who hate English dubs will probably be glad to know the few voice overs are left in their original Japanese form. Music and sound effects also add a good sense of grand adventure to the levels. So many comical ways to "die" but I'm come to that later. There's a good variety of environments such as the early jungle, icy caverns and hot volcanoes to explore so unlikely to get bored of the graphics too soon. Loading the game up for the first time, the presentation's pretty much top-notch with its bright colours and comical characters. There's nothing else out until the end of next month anyway if the EU release date for No More Heroes is correct. Then the game reached the Western shores of NA and many good reviews, video clips started to crop up on the regular gaming sites I read so, I decided to give Capcom's first foray into the world of point and click adventure games a chance. I didn't really have my eye on " Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure" because the story and adventure puzzles didn't seem all that appealing.
