in American Gamestops. This game is awesomefantastical, family-friendly, and a great compliment to any Wii collection. If you've picked it up, congratulations! If you're on the edge...cmon its $20! If you're being chinsy about 20 dollars, then eat in a few nights until you've got close to that without even trying.

As always, leave comments on why people do/don't deserve awesome games when they buy them cheap. I really don't care, it's your money, just don't forget, else you could be paying upwards of $100 sometime in the future.

NOTE: Family-friendly is anything that you can play safely around your entire family. Kid-friendly is anything you can involve your children with ease. Please learn them, else Ima gonna hafta go Jaysonguy on all ya'll.

So far this thread has recieved 17 must-buys, 3 maybe buys, and Lunar52 thinking about it. I will try to update this.

This game was worth it at its original price. It's definitely a must have at 20USD.

It's great that Zack and Wiki got another price drop, although I still don't think anyone else is going to buy the game. And I can't say it's all that family friendly. The puzzles in the game are too complex and abstract for the younger audience.

20 dollars is a steal for this game, not even a year after it's release

I dunno. I might consider it at 19.98, but 19.99?!? What a rip-off!

Oh wait, this game is great and I already own it.

Never mind.

I'm interested in it (especially at this price), but I fear that I would suck terribly at it. I'm no good at those point-and-clickem-up games. But I might try it out.

the video game collector inside of me is telling me to buy a copy and keep it in the plastic for about a decade...

great game + not really high sales + still in shrink wrap = a whole lot of dang money eventually....

Definitely going to pick this up soon. Z & W is a great third-party effort, and at only 20 smackeroos, there is not much of an excuse not to pick this title up.

I have plently of money as I have a job that pays relatively well and I only have to work 3 hours on saturdays xD

I have plently of money and I don't have this game so I clearly can't complain about 20 bucks. Plus I love puzzles BUT here's my problem

I haven't beaten boss battles on intense yet

I'm stuck in Obscure. dunno where to go

I can't beat that accursed last tier in GH

Fire Emblem still haunts my dreams with its insane difficulty

I have Mario Kart preordered and I'm going to pick it up this sunday (that is the release not the shipping date right?)

Okami. I only got to play it on PS2 a few times at Tommy's house and its basically zelda which is awesome

I just have too much to do in terms of videogames not to mention other things like fencing, and *gulp* the dreaded AP European History Exam, oh and lest we forget honors physics what with the 6 labs and 50 DE's we have to hand in oh and don't forget that English Essay and 2 books I have to read, etc.

Simply put as much as I might like it and 20 bucks sure is a steal, I just don't have time

Maybe when I finally clear my schedule enough It'll only be 10 bucks :D

Thats what i did too! Cept i opened it. Not that it's bad, but it not very professionally done.

If i can ever finish it, id probably give it around a 7. Its really hard with anything but my PS2 controller. But it totally makes finishing a puzzle satisfying.

I was going to buy this for my young brother but I heard here that this isn't a kid's game? Why would they make it look kiddy but then not make it for kids? Is it one of those Ratchet and Clank type games that looks like it's meant for kids but really isn't because it might be too complicated?

Ratchet & Clank is not complicated...

This game is complicated though. I've played it at my cousin's house and it's the type of game where you get stuck and are forced to consult the internet on where to go next. That's for me anyways. I'm not the best with puzzles.

I have to say, that $20 bargain is really tempting...

Only problem is the wave of games that are coming out.

Next week GTA4, month after that, save up for a PS3, buy MGS4 and any other good games for teh PStres, then Mario Kart, Throw in a handful of VC games that might come out over the summer, and I'm booked for a while...

Probably check this game out late summer or so, if it's still in stores...

Z&W is definitely not for kids. Its devilish puzzles would cause little kids to rip their hair out in frustration. Heck, it caused me to just about rip my hair out in frustration sometimes. Don't let its cutesy visuals fool you; it's a genuine brain-buster.

Ok, this board has created 12 must buys, 2 maybe buys, and Lunar52 thinking about it.

Actually I forgot I didn't own this when I saw it, I rented it and put 25 hours into it, and I didn't even finish the game! I guess I'll have to pick it up tomorrow with P3:FES.

Ok so now its 13 must buys, 2 maybe buys, and Lunar 52 thinking about it.

$20 for.... Zach & Wiki or 2000 wii points? I'll have to think about this. Right now I have 1600 Wii Points that's been stored since Easter and I have downloaded all the games that I want. But I'm not a fan of puzzle games... except for the Zelda series.

Those of you now interested may want to hurry. The game's already been dropped by Amazon, which would suggest that it's no longer being published.

Note the topic says price drop.. That means the price will not go up for the short term. Price drops are more permanent than sales.
