Wallace and Gromit Xbox 360

I played the Demo yesterday. It's like a free roaming point and click.

This intro uses in game graphics

The game costs 800 points. Anyone else tried it if so what did you think of if?

I've seen a couple of people on my friends list playing, I was going to ask the same question.

I like it, but it is flawed. Namely, it's a bit short and the controls are pretty poor.

I played it on the PC so I knew it'd be short, but I'm quite disappointed by the controls. They're quite irritating at times, hoping Telltale Games will sort them out in time for Episode 2.

Other than that though, it's good fun. If you like point n clickers, it's a great example of one although the puzzles are probably a bit simple for experienced players of the genre.

I've played the first two on PC now.

Episode 2s been out for a while on the PC, the controls seem slightly better, but I didn't really find it a game breaker in the first one for this kind of game.

I'm not sure how the controls translate to the Xbox though, I doubt they'd be a problem though. You're not really doing anything time critical, or that requires a great deal of accuracy.

It's definitely and enjoyable game if you enjoy point and click adventures, and if you're a fan of W&G.

The one tiny thing that grated on me in the first episode was Wallis' voice. It's not Peter Sallis, it's some other actor, and it's close, but ever so slightly off. So if you are a big W&G fan it's noticeable, it can get slightly annoying.

In the second episode, he's dialed it in quite well, and it's harder to tell it's not Peter Sallis.

I definitely enjoyed them though.

I think because I haven't played in on a PC and it's been so long since I have played a point & clicker I didn't find the controls annoying at all.

I played through the first 2 chapters with my daughter watching yesterday and thought it was brilliant; certainly not too taxing but sometimes you don't want anything like that.
