If all you are looking for in a game is a great story, then it's probably best to forget about Zack Zero. Indeed, the first title of Spanish developer Crocodile Entertainment keeps it pretty simple. Artistically speaking though, they have undoubtedly done a very good job as their game will probably remind you of beauties such as Trine and LittleBigPlanet. So yes, there is some kind of family tie when it comes to visuals, but that's not all actually. Indeed, Zack Zero also share a few gameplay mechanics.

The different powers you possess allow to solve puzzles, all of them offering more or less variety. Moreover, like in LBP, there are several planes of depth on the side-scrolling screen, and quite similarly to Media Molecule's game, this is where the controls lack precision. The fact that the character sometimes glides on his own from one plane of depth to another does not help either. That being said, it's all manageable and overall the controls respond well so gameplay is not affected in the end. In a nutshell, Zack Zero is definitely worth a look if you are into side-scrolling games, and though it's not perfect, it is still fun to play.
