Excellent

The best game I ever played in years!

Im a 80's baby, so I use to love playing 3rd person games back in the day, like the old Resident Evil on the grey playstation console. I stopped playing games years ago, when all these first person games came out. Im just not big on hordes of zombies running towards me with no storyline, and I cant shot them all , because I have to spin around as first person to see whats coming. That gets really annoying, but to some gamers, they have the gift to play first person, I dont. I like to control the person, not be the eyes of the person. I love how this game gives you a story line with lots of drama. This has a cartoon graphic look, but it still felt like I was watching a television series . The choices I made felt so real to me, and very sad at the end. I wished this game could have kept going, thats how good it is. I stayed up all night playing this game, because I just had to know what was going to happen next. Pathetic as this may be, I feel asleep with the controller in my hand (LOL). Thats how good this game is!This game also gives you a choice to rewind back, to change the choices you made, if you wasnt't happy with the outcome. If your looking for a game that gives you a great story line and action, then this is the game to play. This game is not going to have zombies attacking non stop. Its like a real life survival game on how to get by in a group. You have to worry about the dead , and the undead in this game.The con of the game is that you cant forward through some of the dialogue. Thats like if you playing over again with diffrent choices, you have to wait for them to talk. I was impatient on some scenes that I already seen, and wished I could have fast forward to get to the action on some scenes. I just hope Telltale makes a part 2, and next time make more scenes then 5. I have played this game all kind of ways and now it's time to move on. If more games come out like this, my kids are going to hate me hogging their game system. Shame on me...lol

Very Good

Great game, but is it GOTY material?

i really enjoyed this game. it did an amazing job of capturing what the walking dead is all about. this game isn't about bashing in zombie head. yes there is that, but the real meat of the game is the characters and their development.

I really liked the graphics. i'm kind of a sucker for cell shaded graphics and i think tell tale did a great job capturing the atmosphere of the comics. The sound it also really good. Voice acting is very nicely done, though from time to time the lip syncing is off.

gameplay is okay. this is a point and click adventure not a shooter. which i personally don't mind. i kind of found it annoying that lee always walks everywhere though. even in the few moments he runs he still doesn't move very fast. not a huge deal, but i thought it just seemed like a cheap way to stretch out the game.

I loved the story of this game. The ending is one of the most emotional moments in gaming. you come to care about these characters and how they develop, and you'll play a part in that. also clementine is probably the most well done child character ever in a game.

This is a great game, i only really have one big complaint. There is lag during scenes pretty often, which i've heard is only the 360 version. not bad enough to be game breaking, but it's really annoying.
