5.0 out of 5 stars Stays true to the Wallace & Gromit series!, November 6, 2003

This review is from: Wallace and Gromit in Project Zoo (Video Game)

Being a big fan of the stop-motion animated Wallace & Gromit shorts, when I saw this game I knew I had to play it. There are 6 huge worlds (Amazons review says there are only 5, but trust me, there are 6) Each level has 3 sub-levels plus secret bonus levels. The object of the game is to free the animals that Feathers (That evil penguin) has captured from the zoo. Wallace and Gromit had adopted a polar bear from the zoo and went to visit him on his birthday, and discovered he'd been bear-napped by Feathers, along with many other animals. You must free each baby animal in the sub-levels, and then face Feathers and the end of each world.

The first world was somewhat easy, but very enjoyable. The graphics are smooth, and the characters look exactly the same. Wallace is voiced by the asme actor, so everything is true to the animated series. Gromit is the main controlled character, but Wallace will help out in certain situations when you call him (By pressing Y.) What I really like is that Wallace isn't constantly following right behind you. (Remember Sonic and Tails?)

The gameplay almost feels similar to Banjo Kazooie (One of my favorite games) I first thought it was going to be a somewhat simple kids game, but I was pleasently surprised to see the difficulty jump after the first world. It really is an enjoyable, cahllenging game whether you are a fan of the series or not. I definitely reccommend this game, especially for the upcoming holiday season.

This review is from: Wallace and Gromit in Project Zoo (Video Game)

I am 16 years old and have been a fan of Wallace and Gromit for a long time. When I saw this game for sale a couple of years ago, I felt like I had to have it, so I got it, and I don't have any regrets.

The game is an interactive sequel to Nick Park's award-winning short film, 'Wallace and Gromit in The Wrong Trousers.' In this game, you take on the role of Gromit, Wallace's faithful sidekick, in an attempt to foil the evil Feathers McGraw's plan to take over the zoo and make diamonds. As Gromit, you'll move from one challenging level to the next, rescuing baby animals that Feathers has imprisioned and collecting tools and other items to build a bunch of wacky devices needed to advance in the game. And the game includes a bunch of extra features, including a clip on how the game was made, clips from 'The Wrong Trousers,' and 'The Snoozeatron,' the latest installment in the Cracking Contraption series.

The game's graphics are really a thing to see. While they don't look very realistic, they look almost exactly like they do in the original claymation. I think that any Wallace and Gromit fan should add this game to their collection of Wallace and Gromit merchandise.

This review is from: Wallace and Gromit in Project Zoo (Video Game)

One of my favorite games on the Cube. Excellent voice acting and the graphics are outstanding. But what really shines are the wacky inventions and the puzzles. Not a button mashing game, this one make you think. I thoroughly enjoyed playing this game from beginning to end.
