Agreed that the Wallace voice is a huge improvement on the Sam and Max voices. Sam and Max were just bad and wrong. I can deal with this Wallace, though.

At least they got Gromit’s voice spot-on :)

Anyway; the demo was enjoyable and quite encouraging, if not outstanding, and it’s certainly a gameplay improvement on the last W&G game I tried!

I look forward to seeing some reviews of the full game.

Alas, the voice acting ruins it for me. I was brought up on these rather wonderful animations, and hearing the new voice actor for Wallace just grates against something inside.

Shame, looks rather well done otherwise.

@Alex. I loved those, I was actually looking (in vain) not too long ago, to see if I could find copies of the floppy games on the internet anywhere. “Techno-Quest”, could it be any more nerdy?! lol

At least the not-Peter-Salis is a heck of a lot better than the not-Bill-Farmer who mumbled his way through Telltale’s Sam & Max games.

Oh, something I forget to mention – Please give a separate music, voice and sound effects option. The music was too loud and made some the speech hard to hear.

Ugh. Needs more Peter Sallis.

@Alex: I remember that! I still remember the issue I got about computing, which included stuff on binary (which I forgot for over ten years), and stuff about bits, bytes, floppies, etc. It was great.

I for one, love Wallace & Gromit. And I have to say I was very impressed with the demo. Agreed that it didn’t yet have quite the same number of little aside jokes in the demo, but it’s definitely convinced me of a purchase.

My only two real issues with the demo are similar to what others have said: needs more Peter Salis, and PLEASE TELLTALE SORT OUT THE GODAWFUL SOUND QUALITY ON THE SPEECH. Other than that, big thumbs up from me.

I wonder if the game is DX9 or 10.1.

I had been semi-excited by the prospect of this one, but when I found out Peter Sallis wasn’t involved, I lost a lot of interest. I know that really it’s a petty problem, but Wallace is Wallace and hearing another voice there (no matter how good the impression) is always going to seem a bit weird.

I may be tempted to give it a go if reviews of it are positively glowing, but for now I’m just not tempted enough to give the demo a go and make up my own mind. I know that makes me a bad person, but that’s just the way I am.
