Synopsis

Wallace & Gromit's Grand Adventures is a four-episode point-and-click adventure series by Telltale Games, made with Aardman Animations. Play switches between the inventor Wallace and his silent dog Gromit as they deal with giant bees, a basement beach resort, a crooked dog shelter fundraiser and a stuffy country club. Each episode is built on collecting items and using them to fix the trouble Wallace's inventions cause.

Developer: Telltale
Released: 2009
Genre: Adventure, Casual
Where to get it: Steam

Reception

Critics praised the faithful clay look, the gentle British humor and the clever puzzles, and the first episode alone holds a PC Metascore of 76, while the four-episode bundle has too few reviews for a score. Common complaints were the short length of each episode, a few obscure puzzles and an awkward keyboard-and-mouse control scheme that several reviewers suggested replacing with a gamepad. Players today rate it highly on Steam and say it feels like watching an episode of the films. Some recent reviews call it a bit janky but well suited to handhelds.

3.5/5

Controls feel awkward on a modern controller or mouse and keyboard
On mouse and keyboard, hotspots are clicked with the mouse but walking uses the arrow keys or WASD, a hybrid that reviewers found frustrating. A gamepad works far better and is fully supported. Source: adventuregamers.com, shelfabuse.com, pcgamingwiki.com.
Menus, text and interface are clear on today's screens
The game renders natively in widescreen and at 4K with subtitles, and its simple inventory and hotspot prompts stay readable. Graphics options are limited to presets. Source: pcgamingwiki.com, adventuregamers.com.
Saving is fair: free saves or frequent checkpoints, little lost progress
The game saves automatically after major puzzles and on quitting, and players can also place their own bookmark saves at any time. Source: adventuregamers.com.
It teaches itself: no guide needed to make progress
An optional tutorial opens the series, hint frequency can be adjusted, and failure is impossible, so most players finish without a guide. A few puzzles lean on trial and error. Source: adventuregamers.com, shelfabuse.com, denofgeek.com.
Pacing holds up: little grind, filler or forced backtracking
Each episode runs about three hours, and puzzles lead quickly from one to the next with little filler or backtracking across the small town map. Source: adventuregamers.com, steamcommunity.com.
Camera or movement fights the player
Movement is relative to fixed camera angles, so cuts between shots often send the character the wrong way, and characters frequently walk in place against invisible walls while looking for exits. Source: adventuregamers.com, pcgamingwiki.com.
