The story and hijinks found within could’ve been the basis for yet another Oscar winning short for director Nick Park and his team at Aardman, but instead are the premise for one of the most genuinely wonderful and funny adventure games in years. It really is a grand day out.
With a bright and bubbly gameplay, it's hard not to enjoy the work Telltale put into it, with fun sounds to go right along with it. With about six hours of gameplay, you'll be hooked and wanting more, just in time for the release of the next episode.

Finally, the ingenious inventor and his heroic dog made their way into the games industry. The result is a very pleasant, if a bit archaic adventure with quite decent puzzles. It is a real shame that the game is also rather short and so extravagantly priced. But it's splendid anyway. [May 2009]
An excellent starting point for the episodic series. Wallace and Gromit are just as charming as ever, and their first episodic romp left us looking forward to seeing where Telltale will take the two in future episodes. Clocking in at several hours of solid playtime, episode one is a relatively short endeavor, but the content is brimming with quality.
We really enjoyed this first Wallace & Gromit's episode and we're sure that Telltale will be better with the next ones enhancing the controls, the savegame system and the audio mixing. It's a good start for a new episodic adventure game.
It's kid friendly, but has enough witty gameplay to make any fan of the genre giddy.
This new episodic graphic adventure is mild cheddar compared to the original TV shorts and movie.
