Yet another PC game is making the transition to Wii, in the form of 'Safecracker'. Following the success of Secret Files: Tunguska, Agatha Christie: And Then There Were None and CSI4: Hard Evidence, it was always a safe bet that more PC adventure point-and-click titles would be making their way to Nintendo's Wii console.
Now the latest issues of UK publication NGamer has confirmed that the 2007 PC game Safecracker: The Ultimate Puzzle Adventure is making the transition to Wii thanks to publisher JoWood Productions, which brought Agatha Christie to Wii and is releasing Telltale Games's Sam & Max: Season One later this year.
148apps - Safe Cracker, although theoretically based on a good idea, falls short on delivering the bank heist experience that most will be expecting. It's repetitive levels and looping soundtrack certainly don't help.
It's safe to say this wouldn't even be seeing a release on DS without the popularity of Professor Layton, but the two couldn't be more different. Layton is full of character, class and polish; Safecracker is a musty antique, lacking any spark or wit. Do yourself a favour and grab one of the DS's many other accomplished puzzle games before attempting to crack this one.
9lives.be: "The Adventure Company has just announced that the videogame Safecracker will be released on Nintendo DS. The game is already available for Nintendo Wii and pc. The Nintendo DS version is expected to hit stores during Q4 2009."
