* AntiFrustrationFeatures:
** At one point, to get past some locked gates, Gromit has to impress the guards by dancing with the Lady Were-Rabbit puppet in a brief RhythmGame section. If you fail either section enough times, the guards will take pity on you and let you though the gates anyways.
** There are a couple missions that task you with finding missing objects for the townsfolk under a time limit. If you can't find one of them, you can talk to the townsperson in question and they will show you where one of the missing items is.

* MovesetClone: Wallace and Hutch play almost identically, with the only differences between them being that Hutch can WallJump while Wallace can't, and Wallace is much bigger and can reach higher ledges than Hutch. Justified in that Hutch has Wallace's brainwaves, so he would naturally use the same techniques as him.



** If the player is controlling Gromit, Wallace or Hutch will chide him if they or any of the townsfolk are attacked, or if Gromit tries to leave the current mission.

Added DiffLines:

The plot remains more-or-less the same as the movie, but with minor modifications. During the day, the player controls Wallace and Gromit as they solve puzzles and capture rogue bunnies before the big vegetable competition can commence. During the night, however, Gromit and Hutch (who replaces Wallace on account of the latter becoming the Were-Rabbit) must fight off an army of Were-creatures created by Victor Quartermaine and retrieve the missing pieces of the Mind Manipulation-O-Matic so they can revert Wallace to normal again.
