A fun adventure platformer, it is on the simple side but it was fun. Controls on KB are wonkey so play with controller. That too wish it would have opted to have D-pad control for movement but all in all was fun.

Actually, this is a decent little side scrolling platformer. You play Zack who has some powers that can be used in certain areas of the game (mainly rock to knock down barriers and ice to slow down time) and to attack enemies. Run, jump, shoot and punch then get to the end of the stage and fight a boss. Nothing too taxing here, the checkpoints are nicely spaced so if you die, you never have much to do again, which I appreciated being a bit crap at games. Maybe aimed more at kids, but I had a good time playing, but I am wondering if the promised sequel will ever show up.

If you're looking for a AAA storyline and impressive cinematic quality cut scenes, or even decent humor, forget about it. However, as craptacular as the narration, which comes off more like story time in the kids section of the book store, it starts to fall in to that "so bad it's good" category. The plot is flimsier than dollar store toiler paper, but that's what makes it funny. It feels like it was written by a grade schooler, and the character designs reflect a lot of those same sensibilities. The gameplay is your typical run and gun platformer ala Megaman X8/9. I use that example specifically because the different powers enable you to reach certain areas, depending on what you're trying to achieve. The models and environments are fairly well detailed, so I think I would've liked to have seen more in-engine cutscenes as opposed to the concept storyboards and would've liked to have had a voice attached to the comm notifications. All that said, I paid a buck for this and got a lot more than that in value. Zack Zero shows a lot of promise, but go in it for the old school run and jump gamplay of the nintendo era, and try to not cringe too much at the storyline or the narrator's booming voice. Other games like this would be Rochard and Shank.

I bought this game while it was on 90% discount sale. A really good 99 cents investment. Zack Zero is an excellent platformer with graphics color palette similar to sudeki with character movement similar to earthworm jim. The game has some decent cutscenes although the voice-over isnt as good as i would have appreciated; however not bad. +Good Graphics for a 820MB game +Fluid gameplay, no lag, no jitters unless youre in contact with enemies +Earth, Fire and ice power morphs for gameplay variety +Hidden locations with hidden items for a slight challenge giving it a slight puzzle game feeling +Cutscenes with voice-over/narration +Automatic checkpoint saves so no issues if your character falls off the platform/dies or you quit abruptly +Fictional Alien planet exploration +No game-bugs experienced in my time spent playing this game on my system which isnt really "latest" -Voice-over sub-par -Linear Storyline and slightly cliched -The hidden levels and puzzle attempts are rather simple. Slightly more complicated situations would have been nice. -Powers recharge very quickly so theres less strategizing on budgeting power usage. Its more about using variety of powers to get a better score The cons mentioned arent really cons in my opinion. Ive just laid them out for those expecting those aspects.This review is strictly my opinion. I will definitely recommend this game especially when on sale. It has a very nostalgic feel to it and is a lot of fun.

I started playing this game without expecting too much: it had a somewhat troubled development and it wasn't getting great reviews. But if you withstand some of it's quirks, it's actually a very enjoyable platformer, with nice voice acting (though sparse), cool cartoon cutscenes and some really impressive levels. Oh, and the music is pretty good too. It took me about 4 hours to finish it and I didn't find all the secrets, so it has a nice length and I didn't feel the game was padded by using the same tricks over and over. It manages to keep it fresh by using several environmental traps, cool bosses and some neat retro references here and there. Overall, I think it has some flaws, but it's still a nice platformer on the PC (and there are not many with this style here). I hope Crocodile could make a sequel, so that they could polish some of the rough edges. If you crave for some oldschool jump-n-shootin' on your PC, this could meet your needs!
