This is an original game featuring Aardman Animations' popular clay animated
characters Wallace & Gromit. The story sees the duo take on Feathers McGraw, the
penguin villain from The Wrong Trousers, once more. Feathers has escaped from the
penguin enclosure at West Wallaby Zoo, and taken over the entire zoo, kidnapping young
animals and forcing their parents to work for him, helping him towards his ultimate
goal - turning the zoo into a diamond mine. Wallace and Gromit, meanwhile, have
adopted one of the zoo's baby polar bears, named Archie. As they go to visit the zoo
to celebrate his birthday, they find the zoo closed. A quick spot of inventing back
at the house, and they prepare to embark on their latest adventure. Hiding inside a
giant wooden penguin, a parody of the famous Trojan horse, they infiltrate the zoo,
and set about rescuing the animals and undoing Feathers' work. As they delve deeper
into the zoo they discover ancient temple exhibits (complete with booby traps),
drills, lava, loads of machinery, and even snow slides as they travel about the six
levels; in each they must save three baby animals: Elephants in the Jungle Exhibit,
Beavers in the mines, gorillas in the subterranean facility, pandas in the warehouse,
polar bears in the Polar Exhibit, and zebras in the factories. As Gromit, the player
must use Wallace's bizarre inventions - including the Porridge Gun, Turnip Launcher,
Springy Boots, Melt-o-matic and Techno Trousers - to battle Feathers McGraw's robotic
minions and rescue the baby animals in typical platform game style. |
