''WesternAnimation/WallaceAndGromit in Project Zoo'' is a 3D platformer released in 2003 by Frontier Developments for the UsefulNotes/PlayStation2, UsefulNotes/NintendoGameCube, UsefulNotes/{{Xbox}} and PC, which saw the return of Feathers [=McGraw=] from ''WesternAnimation/TheWrongTrousers'' as the main villain in an original storyline.

* UnexpectedGameplayChange: A few levels such as the Volcano or the Ice House require the player to use the Gyrocopter or the Pedallo to shoot down enemies. The bosses in World 3 and World 5 require you to use the associated vehicles to shoot them down instead of fighting them on foot like you do with every other boss in the game.
* VideoGameCrueltyPotential: If you're getting annoyed at Wallace ordering you around or just want to kick him up the butt for the sake of it, the game will allow you to do so with no consequences attached other than Wallace telling you to knock it off.

* BonusFeatureFailure: Most of the unlockable rewards are video previews and short clips from various shorts from previous Wallace and Gromit entries. While it may've had value at the time, you could easily cut your losses and simply buy the Complete Collection and Curse of the Were Rabbit on DVD if you want to watch the shorts and the bonus ones respectively instead of going through tough bonus levels to unlock short clips.

* FamilyFriendlyFirearms: Gromit wields all sorts of firearms in this game from a banana gun, a porridge firing gatling gun to even a turnip launcher.

* DarkerAndEdgier: Considering that Feathers [=McGraw=] is the main villain, this is no surprise. His plan involves kidnapping various baby animals for ransom to force their parents to work for him.

* FinalBoss: Feather's Exoskeletron is a giant robot penguin that starts off with 2 legs and after taking enough damage, replaces them with a single wheel. It also reuses the regular boss theme and therefore lacks BattleMusic of it's own.

* LethalLavaLand: World 3 (Volcano) takes place in a volcanic area deep underground.

* SlippySlideyIceWorld: World 6 (Ice House) takes place in a cold enclosure where you have to rescue polar bears. Unlike the level, it's far more spacious and open world, allowing the game's mechanics to shine.
* StealthBasedMission: World 5 (Warehouse) has brief sections where you have to avoid zookeepers to get past them in order to obtain an item. Despite stealth being mentioned as a main feature in the manual, this is actually downplayed in the actual game simply because stealth is only used for that one section.
* TheVeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon: The Diamond-O-Matic is the last level, which requires precise platforming and various puzzles in order to rescue Archie from the clutches of Feathers [=McGraw=].

* HumongousMecha: Feathers [=McGraw=] pilots one during the final boss fight. Despite losing its legs during it's second phase, its no less weaker than before.

* BossBattle: There are several bosses for you to fight in most of the games worlds, with only The Jungle House, The Temple and The Warehouse being devoid of any boss fights whatsoever.

* NothingIsScarier: The games instruction manual has this to say about the Diamond-O-Matic, the games final level:

* OneHitPointWonder: The Pedallo can only take one hit before sinking, with the games manual describing it as "particularly rickety".

* SeanConneryIsAboutToShootYou: The games cover depicts Gromit carrying either the Banana Gun or the Porridge Gun depending on the version while Wallace panics.
* SlippySlideyIceWorld: World 6 (Ice House) takes place in a cold enclosure where you have to rescue polar bears. Unlike the level, it's far more spacious and open world, allowing the games mechanics to shine.

* BonusLevel: In every world, there are one or two hidden areas that will grant you a coin or a bonus clip upon completion. You will need to master Gromit's skills if intend to complete them all.

* HumongousMecha: Feathers [=McGraw=] pilots one during the final boss fight. Despite losing its legs during it's second phase, it's no less weaker than before.
