Manufacturer's Description
The official videogame of Aardman and Dreamworks' movie: Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit. It stands to be a huge success thanks to close collaboration between games studio, Frontier Developments, and Aardman Animations.

The Curse of the Were-Rabbit marks the cinematic debut for Wallace and Gromit, in which they are hired to protect a crop of potentially prize-winning vegetables. Of course this leads to a succession of madcap inventions, in scenarios well suited to a fun-packed videogame: plenty of gadgets and puzzle-solving to keep things busy.

The centrepiece is the 'Bungun', sucking up anything suitably sized to fire back out again. It comes in very useful against various Were-Beasts that have begun to plague the land

Players roam Wallace and Gromit's hometown, seeking to unravel the mystery of the Were-Rabbit. There are four, huge areas to explore ranging from the seaside to suburbia. You can choose to play alone, or with a friend in co-operative mode. In addition to Wallace and/or Gromit, their new friend a rabbit named Hutch becomes a playable character.

EXCELLENT!!!!5
This game is absolutely superb! Explore your whole town, (which is massive) and complete tasks and collect achievement cards. You can switch between Wallace and Gromit, who each have their personal qualaties, or play cooperatively at the click of a button with a friend. The graphics are superb. You can even see reflections on the flagstones! You can do pretty much anything on this game. Play footy, fire vegetables and rabbits out of your bungun, grow marrows, buy cool stuff from shops, etc.
Absolutely brilliant. Get this game like your life depended on it!

Entertaining and enjoyable!5
This game is great fun for children AND adults. It's very close to the movie, and the graphics are excellent. A lot of the tasks are a bit harder than you think, especially those with a tight time limit.
A really fun part, is Gromit growing his own marrow in the greenhouse, and the options to buy things from the shop in town...such as carpet for the greenhouse and PH enchancers for the soil!

The characters that you meet around town are very funny and can be unpredictable too, setting some interesting tasks! The first problem you might have is finding your way around the environments.....a character will tell you that someone is looking for you and waiting at a certain place....and you sit there thinking "yeah, I'll go, IF I can find the blooming way!!" All good fun though.

My only slight grumble are some of the instructions you're given for each task are not always clear enough, and require a bit of head scratching. BUT, even that part is fun!
All Wallace & Gromit fans will love this game!

Very fun and challenging game - not just for kids!5
This is a long and very well thought out game. The story is pretty much the same as the film though certain incidents in the scenes have changed to fit in with the game.

The aim is to work your way through the massive town completing tasks for the townsfolk and earning cards. The game is certainly value for money as it takes ages to complete fully because there are so many cards to collect. However, you do not have to collect all cards to get to the end of the game.

The game is rated for 3+ but I think it is actually more suited to adults or older kids as I myself have found some of the tasks very difficult. And the more tasks you complete, the harder it gets to find where all the other tasks are. Sometimes though the townsfolk will tell you where to go. Most of the townsfolk will talk to you and some are very funny.

You can also switch between day and night. During the day Wallace and Gromit collect rabbits but at night Gromit is with Hutch - the Wallace-like-Rabbit and has to kill nasty were creatures and stop the giant Were Rabbit (Gromit) from eating all the veg. It is also very fun to be able to grow your own marrow throughout the game.

I have found the game to be very fun and challenging, and if you want a game that won't be completed within a couple of days, then try this. Adults will enjoy this game too.
