Wallace & Gromit (for PS2, GameCube, Xbox and PC) is an arcade platform adventure where the player has to liberate the zoo from the evil clutches of the maniacal penguin “Feathers”. Feathers wants to make diamonds - lots of diamonds, and he’ll stop at nothing to achieve his dream.
The crazy penguin has incarcerated all the baby animals in order to persuade their parents to do his bidding and manufacture gems using the incredible diamond-o-matic. Wallace & Gromit know what Feathers is up to and have developed an elaborate plan to infiltrate his domain. And so the indomitable duo constructs the integral part of their scheme, the Trojan Penguin.
When the giant wooden bird is placed at the zoo gates, Feathers’ narcissistic personality embraces the 30-foot tribute and makes it the zoo centerpiece. Unbeknownst to Feathers, Wallace and Gromit reside in the Trojan Penguin and straight from the claymation shows, their room is complete with the standard lamp and armchair. At night the pair can start their amazing adventure…
