I've heard some people complain that the puzzles are 'trial and error' and 'illogical', but that couldn't be further from the truth. Some puzzles may require multiple attempts, but generally speaking almost every problem you come across can be avoided with proper forethought. It's quite fun playing the game with friends, because the ability to talk out loud and bounce thoughts off of one another before actually taking any action improves the play experience immeasurably.
And at $10 LESS than other Wii games, it's a steal.
The times I've gotten stumped in this game, were early on when I had forgotten to use the bell.
I haven't played for a while, I got distracted with work and RE4 again, but I'm at the last dungeon -- I have a tendency of playing games up to the end then not finishing them right away, because I don't want the game to end.
So far the Paint Level has been my favorite.

Yes! The paint level was totally brilliant. Talk about 'eureka!' moments.
I'm still pissed at myself since I used an oracle doll on that level... I forgot I could flip the broom to poke
I've only got about 2 levels left before I can start getting the other treasures... but I've been sucked in by SMG and SSBB. At least I've finally finished Metroid Prime 3.
I still haven't finished Prime 3, but I just got it back from my friend last week, so will get on it again. I need to find the last 1% before I can go off for the final battle.
I played Zak with my cousin and his 4 year old daughter last night. She was loving the animations and was really intrigued about how to get the treasure chest and was constantly making suggestions.

Pick it up and add it to your collection of games to play. It will be worth it once you do get to it. You can't beat this price.
Holy CRAPOLA!!! Go back and get it before it's gone!
At that price, it's worth every penny. It's a game that can be played for short periods of time, then put down. The levels are only as long as it takes to figure them out.
I picked up Geometry Wars Wii for $20 at Best Buy. Good game, but not worth the its original price. Lots of fun with a friend, but it can cause a visual headache.

I'd say you need a new friend if that ones giving you a headache
Yeah,
I bought Zack and Wiki before Galaxy came out. Played Mario Galaxy for a while and kind of forgot about ZW as I was at a boss and didn't want to get back into it. Started again last night and very easy to remember where I was. Very easy to get back into it and surprisingly some of the later levels are actually easier than earlier ones. A really nice change of pace for sure.
Only gripe for me is I wish you could control the characters with the nunchuck. I hate pointing to walk. I like to sit away a bit at times and the controller jumps all over the place and sends Zack spinning in circles

I should quote your ooops.
I would like the nun-chuc support also. That would work great for this game and its console style puzzle adventuring.
The pointer needs to be refined some more, because it's not as good some of the old graphic adventures I've played. It feels a bit odd when compared to the Wii's menu pointer as an example. It feels like I'm not pointing, but instead moving a hinged-lever, if that even makes sense.
