Wallace & Gromit’s Grand Adventures

[h3] "No crackers, Gromit! We've forgotten the crackers!" - Wallace [/h3] [u][b]Wallace & Gromit’s Grand Adventures Review:[/b][/u] A beautifully made point and click adventure that feels just like the films and instantly takes you back to your childhood. Even though the game is quite old by now, it hardly feels dated, as the clay animation style is timeless and lovingly crafted. Just like in the films, you can expect delightfully twisted, very British humor, combined with Wallace’s eccentric plans and inventions that almost never work out as intended. Along the way, you face many other challenges, while Gromit, the loyal and silent dog, once again has to save the day. A concept that worked perfectly back then and has rightfully become iconic. The game is divided into four standalone episodes, each with its own story. This means you do not have to play them all back to back, which adds some nice flexibility. A big compliment to the developers. The charm of these well known characters, as well as the series and films, has been captured and implemented wonderfully. Overall, a worthy Wallace and Gromit experience for fans and point and click lovers alike. Thanks for reading, and now, grab a piece of cheese, lad, and dive into this charming adventure. Until my next review! Saderhorn

It's very smashing! Recommended for any Wallace and Gromit fans. It's a very fun point and click adventure game. I think that Telltale made a good game here.

Had trouble running this on windows (no sound), but it works perfectly on linux, even on my older laptop. The games are pretty basic adventure games, but the puzzles are pretty clever and fun. The games also absolutely capture the charm and humor of Wallace and Gromit. The graphics are a bit dated, but they still work well for the style of the material. They are pretty short individually, but all 4 together make a decent length playthrough.

A truly amazing game 10/10

If you like an Aardman game like Chicken Run for the PS1 or enjoy the classic shorts of Wallace N Gromit try this game out, its cheesy and a classic

Wallace & Gromit's Grand Adventures was a fun game. The games were just like their movies, very entertaining.

Ein altes Telltale Spiel. Dieses Spiel ist anders als die späteren interaktiven Serien von Telltale noch ein klassisches Point and Click Adventure mit Rätseln, aber ohne Entscheidungsmöglichkeiten. Die Stop-Motion Knetanimation der Wallace & Gromit Filme ist authentisch dargestellt, man kann das Spiel optisch nicht von den Filmen unterscheiden. Die Steam-Version kommt im Gegensatz zur Retail Version ohne Deutsche Sprachausgabe, es kursiert jedoch ein Patch im Netz, welcher die Deutsche Sprachausgabe nachrüstet. Das Spiel stürzt ab, wenn man versucht, die Bildschirmauflösung zu ändern. Das ist wohl ein Kompatibilitätsproblem mit modernen Systemen. Man kann den Fenstermodus aktivieren, dann die gewünschte Auflösung einstellen und wieder in den Vollbildmodus wechseln. So funktioniert es.

Run the game as Administrator if you want to change the resolution without it crashing. I really do not know how most people are expected to complete these games without a guide. The stories, voice acting, humour, and presentation are all great, and as a Wallace & Gromit fan I genuinely enjoyed feeling like I was playing through lost episodes of the show. The clay-style details, like visible fingerprints on the characters, are a really nice touch too. The problem is the puzzle design. A lot of solutions are obscure, poorly explained, and give you almost no context, so it often feels like the game expects you to click every item on everything until something works. That was not fun for me, so I ended up using Steam guides throughout. Even with that frustration, I still recommend the series to Wallace & Gromit fans because the charm carries it a long way. Just know this before buying: if you do not like using guides, or if you do not enjoy difficult old-school point-and-click games, these might drive you mad.
