Amazon.co.uk Review
To this point, the famous Plasticine duo Wallace & Gromit haven't featured in a game worthy of their name. Project Zoo, fortunately, is a radical improvement on what's gone before. And while it's not without its flaws, it does deliver rousing fun to its younger target audience.

The simple plots finds the evil Feathers McGraw taking control of the local zoo--and more notably locking up all the infant animals. They need saving and that's where our heroic duo come in. To rescue them, there's an entertaining platform game in the way, with some little diversions and mini-arcade games to keep things ticking along.

It's well put together too: the graphics are strong and the interjections of the two lead characters, especially in the numerous cut scenes, will frequently raise a chuckle. The levels pit you against many of McGraw's gang and, as you'd expect, there are numerous items to collect and lots to explore. A nice added feature is that Wallace can turn some of the objects into some batty invention to help you on your way.

It's a very easy game to get into and while the action won't get your pulse pounding, Project Zoo sets it stall out early as a provider of some good, leisurely, family-friendly entertainment. That it captures the flavour of Wallace & Gromit so well is a very welcome bonus. --Simon Brew

Fantastic
An excellent game for kids and adults alike. Definitely one to keep you going through Christmas. I haven't had so much fun in years, they've got the characters just right, and it's actually FUNNY too. If you want a fun game everyone can enjoy then go for this one. There's no guns or real violence either, my two love it.

A nice little title
This isn't a hard-core platformer such as Jak or Ratchet & Clank but here's what it is, a nice fun, amusing game to play.
It doesn't make you feel frantic like some games and its nice just to stroll around as the smoothest pooch in town.
That said it can take numerous attempts to reach a higher level but for some reason it doesn't enrage. You have to collect coins and (there are also rarer gold coins scattered here and there usually in more difficult to reach places) find parts for Wallace so he can construct new weapons and stuff. Wallace also has a part to play in fixing things which are preventing your progress. Graphically its very pleasing, bearing great likeness to the animations, and the game graphics are indistinguishable from the fmv's. Sure to please if you like colourful, bold graphics and collecting things etc., and an amusing storyline.

Mostly great
I was given this game as a xmas pressie and i love it, it's really good except for some parts in the game are unclear as to what you have to do, but apart from that, it's great.
Nice to see Wallace and Gromit back again!!!
