Gameplay:
This game is like those old point and click PC games but much more fun, you take control of a budding Pirate to be, named Zack, this guy loves his treasure, which is what the game is about, you go around levels solving puzzles to find a treasure version of body parts which you use to make up the body of a legendary pirate called Barbarosa. The cartoon-ish style and the cute characters make this a game you will love and enjoy, this game has puzzles that trick some of the smartest adults, don't be fooled by this games cuteness, it's difficulty is no laughing matter.
Controls:
The controls are fabulous, it has never been so fun to point you Wiimote at a screen and click. The controls for the animal based items are great this game uses the Wiimote so fantastically.
Extras and Unlockables:
There are secret treasures to each level, and a little mini game with a bony conductor, where you shake the Wiimote in time with the music, you have to be pretty precise though and the difficulty increases on the songs as the levels get harder, so don't expect them to be easy to be all of them.
Online Play:
There is none, but this game is made for one players anyway and the other players don't exactly play a major role so it would of been hard to add it to a game like this.
Overall:
This is a fun game, it has been overlooked so it isn't sold out absolutely everywhere. It is definitely a must have Wii game.
I agree with this review. I havent played much of it yet as I haven't had it very long but the use of the Wiimote is fabulous as are the graphics and cool puzzles to solve!

I have to disagree with a 10/10. It's quite good, however the controls aren't perfect and this will become painfully clear when you get to the final level which involves swordfighting and really killed the game for me because it was just rubbish at detecting movement.
Iv'e just put it back in the wii after many a month of it sitting on the shelf and its just as good some slightly frustrating parts but its a must for any wii owner notjing to difficult and once you click what you have to do to further the level...just genius.
I don't understand how a game like this with reviews that are all quite high, not do so well, I think that it's price has just dropped making it more of a bargin.
I wouldn't give it a 10, as it's frustratingly hard in some parts, and the controls are highly inaccurate in sometimes. Also, it showing you how to something every time you do it is a bit irritating. It disrupts the flow of the game too much, and for a game that is focused on having logical movements for key actions, treats you like you are stupid way too much.
Having said this, it's highly original, innovative, clever and quirky. I would give it a 7, as it's great but has some flaws.
