Product Description

A charity fair comes into town, run by Monty Muzzle, to raise money for a new dog shelter. After dealing with three strays in their home, Wallace and Gromit go to the fair with Wallace's new invention to create any flavor of ice cream. At the fair, Gromit discovers that Mr. Muzzle's intentions aren't exactly charitable and decides to do something about it! Along the way, Wallace gains the attention of an ardent admirer who mistakes the fastening nut he is holding as an engagement ring!

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for Wallace & Gromit fans, November 8, 2009

First of all, don't listen to the one-star reviews from people who couldn't be bothered to figure out how to play the game. The controls are simple - you move the characters with the arrow keys and you interact with objects on the screen by clicking on them. It's very easy to use.

And most importantly, this game perfectly captures the charm of a Wallace & Gromit short better than any other W&G game ever has. The story is funny, the voice acting is superb and the characters are perfectly realized. If you are any sort of fan of Wallace & Gromit, you need to pick up this game and play it. You won't regret it.

This game is very enjoyable & deserves much more than to be rated 1 star consistantly because either can't grasp the concept of point & click adventure games or because there PC is not strong enough to run it. Here is a tip for those of you having problems.... go to the options menu & lower the graphics quality, there is hardly any noticable differences & it will cause your game to run MUCH faster. If you are having any further trouble just go to Telltale's website & click on support. I guarantee that they will solve any problem that you may be experiencing.

Now to review the actual game....

Out of the Wallace & Gromit's Grand Adventures series, this is probably my favorite game. It revolves around the shady Monty Muzzle who appears after the storm of the previous game to open a fair who's proceeds will go towards repairing the town's Dog Shelter. He appears at Wallace & Gromit's door asking for any help that they may be able to give & that is where this episode's adventure starts. In the following chapters you will discover Monty Muzzle's true motives, Unravel a conspiracy that would have PETA ready to make some heads roll, Take to the skies in a flying Ice Cream truck & play some carnival games along the way.

The game is a little on the easy side so younger games shouldn't get to frustated when playing it. That being said... the game does have a few puzzles which are a little on the tough side. There are specific times in the game (such as the gumball puzzle) that had me absolutely stumped. If you don't throughly explore the world (which should be easy as it isn't overly large) & don't think about the puzzles carefully then you may encounter some issues when trying to solve the game's many puzzles.

In closing... If you are a fan of Wallace & Gromit or Adventure games in general, then I would HIGHLY recommend this game. For as cheap as it is, you really couldn't ask for much more (well as far as Adventure games go).

The game installed perfectly. Great animation and story. The kids loved it. A little tricky at times but pretty straight forward to win in the end - loads of fun. I have a core 2 duo and a cheap 1gb GeForce 9400 GT graphics card. I messed around with the settings before I began and adjusted the resolution down a bit though I don't think I needed to, but with some complaining about the speed did it anyway. Except for a brief pause between scenes occasionally to load the next part of the game, everything ran smoothly. I would highly recommend this game.
