TGS07: Scribbling mustaches on Zack and Wiki


Game|Life's hands-on impressions of Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure at the Tokyo Game Show uncovered a pretty interesting pseudo-multiplayer feature: up to three of your friends can draw on the screen with their remotes. They'll be able to direct you to clues, point out characters that resemble C-list celebrities, and doodle enlarged genitalia over every square inch of the adventure title.

Remember when you used to watch your friends or siblings play a video game while you idly waited your turn? Unless they were playing something like Sonic 2, you didn't have much to do except hope that they would died soon, both in the game and in real life. Now you'll have something else besides murderous plots to keep your mind busy! Capcom's effort to turn spectators into participants really speaks a lot of the developer's commitment to making Zack & Wiki as fun as possible for everyone.
