Wallace and Gromit are back for another episode of Wallace and Gromit's Grand Adventures from Telltale Games. Episode two, The Last Resort, retains the solid graphics of the first episode and utilizes many of the same characters in order to tell a mysterious tale of another venture gone wrong.

After plans for a day at the beach are scrapped due to inclement weather, Wallace constructs a beach resort in his flooded basement. The resort business turns out to be more complicated than expected, as Wallace deals with unsatisfied customers and Gromit is eventually forced to investigate suspicious behavior on the part of the guests. The story is fun, and transitions well between the four acts, with each chapter focusing on a different stage of the basement resort venture, with different objectives for the protagonists and the player. Ultimately, the story is a charming tale that offers up a lot of opportunities for puzzles.

As for the gameplay, not much has changed since our review of the first episode. The Last Resort features the same puzzle solving gameplay of Fright of the Bumblebees, though some of the puzzles are structured differently to fit the mysterious theme of the new episode. Once again, nothing is too challenging, as long as you can wrap your head around the game's logic, and the game still features a hint system that excels at helping you through sticky situations without overtly ruining the puzzles.

Ultimately, The Last Resort tells a short, fun story with compelling adventure gameplay, using the same charming graphics as the previous episode in the series. If you liked the first episode… well, you've probably already played The Last Resort. But if you are interested in Wallace and Gromit's Grand Adventures and haven't bought into it yet, this episode is a great reason to do so.
