This game is definitely not meant for the kiddies, and not from a content perspective. My daughters (ages four and eight) love Wallace & Gromit and always enjoy their features. However, the puzzles are definitely a bit more difficult than some of the other puzzle games out for kids on the PC or Xbox 360. I'm an experienced gamer (I've been playing ever since I had an Apple II in 1982) and even I had difficulty with some of the puzzles. Fortunately, Wallace offers hints to get you going in the right direction. Telltale anticipates that each episode will take between three and five hours of gameplay to finish, which isn't bad at all.
Overall, I think this will be a great property for Telltale Games. There are Wallace & Gromit fans all over the world who will snatch up this series, and with as popular as the Sam & Max series is for them, I anticipate Wallace & Gromit's Grand Adventures to be another blockbuster.
Be sure to check out the game at the Telltale Games site!
Wallace & Gromit's Grand Adventures is rated E (for Everyone) by the ESRB for comic mischief and mild cartoon violence.
