Product Description

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

4.0 out of 5 stars Function keys, 1 Jul 2005
By A Customer
Running on Windows XP my kids (5 and 7) love it. Try using E, R and T for the function keys. The numeric keypad for moving left (4), right (6), forward (8), and backward (5 - not 2). The Arrow keys adjust the viewing position - you sometimes need to look up and down.
HOWEVER - there's a glitch at the end of the vocano level where you have to get over the larve river. It's almost impossible to hit one target, never mind 3!
I did it once.
After standing on the fence and jumping to hit the left target, a rock is released and I jumped onto it and then onto the other side. Unfortunately, the kids were in bed, then the computer crashed (unassociated virus) and I hadn't saved, so they never saw what was on "the other side"!
It's supposed to be better on other platforms. I'd give it 5 stars if you could get to the end!

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing playability, 1 Jan 2004
By Stephen (Dublin, Ireland) - See all my reviews
I cannot get this game to launch in properly specced pc's with Win98 and 2000. It will install ok but not launch. I can get it to run in XP but, in common with the other two formats there does not appear an "attack" & "Climb up" function. So I am afraid zero for playability.
In the XP version the movement is fairly unresponsive making some actions very difficult and then you have to climb up a rope but there is no function key for it. Grr.

It does look like it has good basic gaming potential but the version I have is wholly unsatisfactory.

1.0 out of 5 stars Wallace & Gromit-Project Zoo, 8 Jan 2004
By D. Stokes "diane1963" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I cannot get this game to launch.I have tried on 2 PCs both running Windows 98SE and both with the required spec.
I rang the support desk who suggested that I update the graphics card drivers which I have done and also that I have the latest version of Direct X which in actual fact is already installed on both PC,s.
The game will install but will not launch.
Very disappointed to say the least
