I think most people who are dissing this game have never played a point and click adventure, and dont know what they are missing. Its almost like they take one look at the graphics and decide they dont like it.

 

Though an adult realistic looking point and click adventure would not suck either.

OK, well new-ish drama on this game, check it out

A Muslim person has found this trailer to be offensive as he said that the call to prayer 'Allahou Akbar' can be heard in the background.

 

This will definately cause a stir. The video clip is also in the link so you can be your own judge of the situation.

Lmao, there was someone on the Capcom forums who said that someone might find it offensive. That's just awesome, in a political-correctness-is-ruining-our-world-way.

 

What's offensive about playing a prayer in a background?

I don't really understand this issue, or why they chose to include the call to prayer in the game. I suppose it's kinda like having someone preform the lord's prayer over the top of this scene instead...?

 

Either way, if someone's offended, it's not like taking this small sound clip is a big deal.

 

However, this was bloody rude -

 

As an avid Wii gamer, and point and click enthusiast, I was checking out this gametrailer vid of some of the new Zack and Wiki gameplay. Though I´m agnostic, I grew up in a Muslim family and visited Pakistan a number of times. Therefore, I can safely say that both 20 and 44 seconds into this clip, you can hear the island savages called into prayer with a sound clip of a Muslim call to prayer, “Allahou Akbarâ€, and then mimic the way of prayer.

 

 

Oh well...

People being offended too quickly is one of the most annoying things in modern society. Grow some skin, people.

I searched on websites like play.com, gameplay.com, amazon.co.uk, etc.

but I can't see it listed anywhere? Does this mean we won't be getting it this year?

My wife really likes adventure games and bemoans their apparent death, so this might actually get her to pick up a wiimote when the time comes. I'm keen as it looks pretty. As long as the control scheme is good and the mechanics fun, it's golden.
