Pros & Cons
Pros
The game appeals more to the universe of the graphic novel's more so than amc's television adaptation. The graphics are bleak befitting of the games apocalyptic setting. The story is gripping, the graphics give you that comic book feel. It's rather sh... Read More
One of the best games i've played in awhile. Telltale games excelled in evoking strong emotions during scenes. The graphics are incredible and gameplay is intense.
Despite not having the stiffest competition last year, i still think the game has a lot of merit. Visually, the walking dead is very consistent with telltale's recent work.
The characters are realistically depicted and convey emotion beautifully. While there are some voices that just adhere to character type, the bulk of the cast does a great job of imbuing their characters with a sense of past, sadness, and a kind of de... Read More
This is a very intense game and it throws a lot of morality scenarios. Some of the choices you are forced to make present difficult moral dilemmas. It still has that illusion of choice that other choice-based games have.
Cons
The game is so boring that i wondered why i'm mashing * on my controller. On top of all this it has some of the worst graphics i've seen in a modern game. The walking dead essentially has no game play to speak of.
The game lags and runs at about 10 frames per second whenever you need to do something. There is a 1-2 second lag before your choice takes effect. The xbox 360 and ps3 retail versions are known to have serious stutter and lagging issues.
People get hurt when they're supposed to get hurt, people die on cue, etc.
Avoid this game. It's not even worth renting. The bluray version is terrible. Definitely trading this game in at the local gaming store.
Highlights
Quality
This game is about making choices that affect your interpersonnal relationships with the other characters in the game
The mechanics of this game needed some getting used to with the reticle stickbut i got used to it rather quickly
It does have some similarities to the walking dead series however the characters have nothing to do with the series story itself
Things worth knowing you dont need to be familiar with the tv show or graphic novel of the same name to fully enjoy this game
