I watched little of Wallace & Gromit animations a long time ago, so I merely know of the series existence. With that in mind, TellTale Games sure have worked to the franchise's family-friendly spirit, immersing you to a limited world with colorful characters (thanks to witty dialogues and antics) who make their re-appearances every episode. Due to the series' nature, the plots are easy-going and can get simplistic at times but it is Wallace's crafty ideas and inventions (where they mostly backfire and trigger the plotline further) that freshens up the intrigue of the adventure game, as well as taking the progression to hilarious results.
The first episode sets the player in to explore the premises, characters and notable details that re-occur in the following episodes. At some points, the pace gets weighed down by lengthy dialogues and into the 3rd of 4 chapters, I bumped into a game-breaking bug that prevented me from finishing this episode. I'm still glad that they made the series fresh and fun for the reasons stated above, because the second episode is an improvement when it comes to pacing and well-written characters. The third episode is IMO easier and has a different charm of its own (more dogs!!). The final episode has some of its the series most complex parts but at least it ends on a satisfactory note. (For time's sake, I chickened out and used a walkthrough half past the game).
With all that said, I think it would cater to a certain group of adventure fans in regards to its challenge level, as well as for the fans of the series as well.
