The game takes its cue from the content and plot of "Curse of the Were-Rabbit" movie, and features a rich cast of non-player characters for the player to experience, set in a full realisation of Wallace & Gromit's West Wallaby home town and other locations in the area, both from the film and new to the duo's adventures. The game allows either one or two player co-operative mode play, with a selection of the film's leading characters - including both Wallace and Gromit .

The player is challenged to unravel the amazing secret of the Were-Rabbit on their day and night journey through the vast locations, pitting their wits against a shadowy adversary and frantically battling his minions in a barnstorming adventure. Naturally help is, as ever, at hand from a superb array of "cracking contraptions" concocted by that master of invention; Wallace.
