Not as good as the console game version but it's still good.

Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were Rabbit (DVD Game) is not as good as the console version of this game but it's still good enough for what it is. The story of Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were Rabbit (DVD Game) is that you have to help Wallace & Gromit get clients however Wallace is going to be splitting the two people that you and your friend are playing as into two teams the Red team and the Blue team and so you and your friend have to try and get ten clients but the only way you can do that is you have to take turns rolling on the board and there's spots that if you lad on them you will ether have to play a game, get a client for free, miss a turn, spin again or give the other team a point and the first team to get ten clients gets a prize but in order to get the prize is that you have to answer the question and post it the phone number 88010 and you will then get a sketch drawing by Nick Park. The story for this game is fine. The story works well since it's a typical normal board game about trying to get more points than the other team. As a Wallace & Gromit story for a video game it's also fine. The mini game selection they have in the game is nice with the different variety they have. The best mini game in this game is the Imagi-Matic game because this game is really challenging because you have to really focus on what you see on screen in a very short time. The other mini games such as Maximus Fling, Tunnel Trouble and Keep 'Em Peeled are good. The weakest mini though is the Maze Cracking, it's a decent mini game but it's easily the weakest. It's also nice how they try to tie these mini games into the movie although the video game would have been better if this video game took place before the movie since this video game has things in it that try to make you think it takes place before the movie like Wallace getting his clients pictures put on the wall but it doesn't come before the movie since since Hutch appears in this game. I guess you could say that this video game takes place a little while after the events of the movie but then again this video game is after all ment to be a interactive video game but I'm gonna assume this video game takes place after the events of the movie. Also the video game would have been better if there were some more mini games in this game then it probably would have been better. It also would have been nice if they could have done more with the story of this game since it feel a bit empty. The characters in this game are good. Wallace is good mainly because he shows you how to play the game. Victor is also good because this video game shows him trying to sabotage Wallace & Gromit's business by either burning there posters in his fire place or when he messes with there fan. The scenes with him is a good way to show how evil he his. This also goes to show that he has returned since the end of the movie. Philip is good as the evil dog in this video game mainly when he tries to catch the bunny before Gromit does and also when he tries to show to Gromit that he can't bet him in the bunny throwing contest. The music for this game is also good. The main Wallace & Gromit theme remix is great to listen to. All the other music that plays consistently in the background of this video game is also good a listen to. The animation looks fine. Now do keep in mind this is a video game so it's not gonna look amazing and do keep in mind this is a dvd video game and they didn't have a massive big budget. The voice acting from Peter Sallis as Wallace is just as good as it's always been. Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were Rabbit (DVD Game) 7/10.

A Huge Disappointment! coming from an Wallace and Gromit fan.

First off, when I brought this was when then film came out. I am a huge fan of Wallace and Gromit but I feel the fans deserved better than this game. Nick Park was said to have worked on this game but it doesn't hide the fact and truths about the game play and lasting appeal. The only good thing about this is that Peter Sallis and Helena Bohema Carter (Is that how you spell it?) kept their voices for the game. The gameplay was awful and hard to control. You just had Gromit running around in circles for most of the first level without any clear intention of the mission given to him. The switching roles from Gromit to Wallace or vise-versa can be too unpredictable and at times irritating. I can't tell tell you how much more of the game because I was still stuck on the first level before giving up. And also, most of the time, you were just sucking rabbits up through a hose in the ground and collecting how much you got in. This doesn't really have a great deal of an lasting appeal if that is the task for most of the game. If you conquer the game, you will probably get bored of it before you decide to conquer it again.

Suppose it's good for Wallace and Gromit fans like me but the bad gameplay, non-appealing tasks and boring storyline is it's big downfall. Beside, I haven't played "Project Zoo" at all yet so I don't if that any better. Good for a challenge but if you're expecting because it's Wallace and Gromit, don't go out of your way.

2/10
