[edit] Game Engine

Does anyone know the name of the game engine (i.e., middleware) used in the development of Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure? Is it third-party or in-house? Aeonassoc 15:47, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

I'm preatty sure it was a ground-up engine. 72.196.135.143 05:35, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] European Release Date?

Someone's changed it to November 7th.. but the press release says DECEMBER 7th... which is correct? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.104.249.111 (talk) 19:41, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Gameplay?

What happened to all of the in-game related parts of the article?--86.89.69.209 17:11, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reception

Are those the only reviews we ave? i think Game Informer gave it a 8.25 out of 10. And are there any other scores this game has recieved that we can put up? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 167.206.69.42 (talk) 11:32, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Story

Is there any chance we could get a section with a brief summery of the games story? this would extend the articles length, and add quite a bit of content. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.108.209.200 (talk) 00:46, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

Can We have a storyline section that doesn't SUCK? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.35.74.162 (talk) 22:39, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

How's that?--CyricZ (talk) 19:38, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

I happen to like pie. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 221.132.115.2 (talk) 13:04, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

(Spoilers ahoy) I think it's worth noting that Wiki's monologue at the end of the game is similar to the one at the start of the game, and he describes the chest-opening as his meeting Zack - indicating that he has once again lost memory of saving everyone from Barbaros. Since Barbaros is still alive (and promises revenge), this may be cyclical - Barbaros was mystified that Wiki didn't remember him when you encounter him in the game, since Wiki had been the one to curse him the first(?) time. --24.159.228.100 (talk) 08:20, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] picture

can we get a picture of the actual game box besides a stupid promo pic? i would do this if i knew how but i am new to this! 68.115.104.27 (talk) 22:31, 4 December 2007 (UTC)


I don't know of any freely-available pictures of the box, but the promo picture essentially is the box art.GanonSocratic 00:14, 28 December 2007 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by GanonSocratic (talk • contribs)

the box art is very different from the promotional picture. here's a picture of the box art if someone wants to change it (i don't know how to) http://cache.kotaku.com/assets/resources/2007/09/z_w_wii_pkf_090707.jpg 33LB (talk) 13:05, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Update sales?

as of Jan 5th, 2008, the game has sold 110,000 units. Source: http://vgchartz.com/games/game.php?id=12367

Should we put this in? Or wait till the EU / AU releases? Lucothefish (talk) 13:21, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Some editors are reluctant to use VGChartz figures, believing them unreliable. Geoff B (talk) 14:52, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
