Arcade: Wallace and Gromit Episode 1

 

Content: Wallace and Gromit Episode 1
Price: 800 Microsoft Points
Availability: Not available in India and Japan
Dash Text: Join Wallace & Gromit in Fright of the Bumblebees, the first of four grand adventures! The inventor and his loyal pooch are faced with a big problem. They need 50 gallons of honey by tonight – far more than their bees can handle! When Wallace’s plans to step up production go horribly awry, it falls to Gromit to fight off the angry swarm. Featuring a brand new story with the same slapstick humour, cinematic visuals, and charm fans of the Wallace & Gromit films have come to love, Fright of the Bumblebees kicks off this four-episode series in cracking style!

  • Echtzeit

    The game doesn’t even show up on the german marketplace (via xbox.com). :sadface:

  • VEGEMITE 98

    marketplace is that slow, that this game doesn;t appear. maybe if you fixed it ?

  • Xbox Sonic

    it’s out now lol

  • JimmyStewart

    Glad to see this up here! Now if only they can finally get the Sam and Max season out I’m one happy gamer!

    XBox Live seems to be having some issues, at least for me. The website says “server too busy” and I can’t log in on the console. I wish it was the demand for this game that’s causing the problems!

  • noddegamra uk

    I’ve been looking forward ot this. Can’t wait to get it!
    + Is it 800 MS Points? If so, that’s a pretty fair price for this DLC :-)

  • MetalGearFloppy

    Service seems down. “Server too busy”-Message on xbox.de and 360 won’t work either. Seems like Live crashed… Hopefully they’ll fix the laggy guide while fixing this one :)

  • Fingleberries

    Cracking idea, Grommit …

    Really looking forward to this one… (and Sam & Max, too) … Not to mention the (rumoured) appearance of Monkey Island. Woo-Hoo. Good times! :)

    So Xbox Live is down as of March 27, 2009 at 7 a.m. EST? I saw the ‘Server Busy” on Major Nelson’s profile while visiting here on my DSi. I tried to connect to Live and it gave me a “Cannot connect” and the Test Connection screen. Peggle Challenge offline then. . .

  • Warrengonline

    Oops, oy vey… March 27… May 27….. Wiiking I still can not connect on my end. Back to Peggle.

  • Xbox Sonic

    I can’t log in too…what’s wrong?

  • Anonymous

    lol I couldn’t imagine the W&G demand could down servers ! (^_^)

  • Euphoric Fusion

    It’s probably to do with E3 coming up.
    Strange that Major hasn’t told us about this maintainence though.

  • MetalGearFloppy

    Lol, I reckon the office boy accidentally kicked the plug out on the magic xbox LIVE machine…..

  • VEGEMITE 98

    @T360UK CHIEF, – nothing strange about major not informing us, as it not cost effective for him to tell us anything,

  • clarky456

    Its not maintenance.

    1. He would have told us
    2. This isn’t the normal time maintenance is carried out (time of day and day of the week – They wont do maintenance on a Wednesday with arcade titles out.
    3. The UK community manager said on twitter that “Looks like Xbox LIVE is having a few problems – will ask around and see what the deal is. Thanks for your patience”

  • Xbox Sonic

    @clarky456
    someone hacked our beloved live???

    THANK YOU

  • Anonymous

    oops down again 59% of W&G demo and i got this error message :

    code : 807b0194

    hope it’ll help

  • Warrengonline

    8:17 a.m. Live is up and functioning. 8 more challenges left in Peggle Challenge Mode! DLing Wallace and Grom – hope it a tad better in game play than the GameCube version – more sophisticated puzzles and gadgets. It was fun, but more “Pac Man 3D” fun, than “Kung Fu Panda” fun. Now off to work…. “Yeahhhh! (yeh right)

    @ warren g, man do you buy every xbla game ? lol.

  • L0rN

    My xbox has been frozen the 4th time since the problems were “solved”. And it just happens with my online Profile. Offline, everything is fine. GET THIS FIXED. And am I the only 1 with this problem? Write comments guys…Thanks.

  • oue

    [Quote]the first of four grand adventures[/Quote] Does anyone know how much playtime you get for your $10? If there is going to be 4 DLC are they going to come out in a pack later down the road? I might just wait it out for a review or the pack.

  • noddegamra uk

    The Wallace and Gromit game download is broken. Tried downloading it in my lunchbreak. The MS Points got spent, but there was an error message which prevented download. Should be able to download it later without being charged again. Fingers crossed.

  • Anonymous

    I could buy the W&G game but i still got that code when i want to DL it
    (error : 807b0194)

  • Major Nelson

    I just sent an email to the engineers about the LIVE Marketplace having issues. They’ll get it fixed

  • savory naits

    LOrN: If you delete wallace and gromit from the harddrive (Unknown game) it should work fine again, it has happened a few times for me already.

  • Warrengonline

    @Big Guino
    Who me? Nooo.. That’s gregtheniceguy (smiles)

  • L0rN

    Thank you very much savory naits.
    I`ll try this.

  • L0rN

    Now it works. Thank you again.

  • joshua nash

    i got the same code as utako, both times i tried downloading it i’ll try agian after i get home from my job, i have been wanting to play this and sam and max for along time

  • Warrengonline

    @L0rN
    Yeh, some of us have specific problems. I was going to report this last night, but fell asleep. I was in a chat with a friend, then he put in a game, it needed to be updated, I thought he was leaving, so I jumped into an invite sent party chat request with two other friends, and when friend 31 came back online, he auto-joined the party. Moments later we were all ‘kicked’, not dropped, but the message said kicked. Also with that, I could not longer make a Party Chat, Join a Party Chat or accept Party Chat Invites. Fix? Rebooted system and it a.o.k., weird. Also L0rN, do you let your system sit for like one minute after freezing? Mine does something weird where it freezes and if I let it sit for say 47 seconds, it ‘catches up’. This is not to be confused with game lock up or system lock up – this ‘freeze’ will not allow the dashboard button to be activated. I have not been taking notes and I sense it only happens to me at the moment. The one good thing is that I could watch the Outlander preview with only two hiccups with buffering.

  • cooki2222

    i took out my ethernet cable and its running fine now thought my xbox was on the fritz its only 3 months old :/

  • VEGEMITE 98

    Could you send an email about the laggy guide and slow marketplace too!

  • Exu

    Hmm… I like this game, but not enough. I’ll give it a pass for now, with any luck a full package will hit retail and I’ll just swipe it then.

  • RuairiAU

    Now that LIVE seems to be fine, about the game: I reckon it sucks. It’s just outright boring and the framerate struggles. What age group did they make this for?

    @Vegemite 98
    Fellow aussie here. My old ’06 Xbox was having problems with the guide (stalled a lot), traded it in and got an ’09 model – no problems since. The market place aint that slow either – any chance your problem is with your xbox or connection?

  • DD 717

    Just finished the game a little bit ago. I enjoyed it. Finished with 140/200 achievement points.
