    The story and characters make this game worth playing. In fact, they make it good. Having said that, as far as a video game goes, it's like watching a season of a television series that makes you press play every few minutes. I don't see why more game elements could not have been added to this game. It's as if they thought they had to choose between narrative and gameplay.

    The Walking Dead was my Game Of The Year of 2012 and has become one of my favorite games of all time. This is absolutely one of the best adventure games ever made, and it is a game that takes a toll on you emotionally like no other. No other game or movie has made me feel so attached to a character like TWD. It has an amazingly touching story and great characters.

Every decision you make will affect how you experience the story for the better or worse. It doesn't matter what type of games you play, this is a game that has to be experienced, it's an unforgettable journey. Don't let the point and click gameplay scare you away. If you wonder why The Walking Dead has received so many awards, it's because the episodic story of this game is unlike anything we've ever seen before. If you want a great story, look no further, Telltale's The Walking Dead is where it's at.

    Pros:
    - Impeccable visuals (with low resources use).
    - Telltale's strenght: storytelling, those great moments and make you feel like you're part of the plot. - Good lenght. Cons: - Simple (maybe too simple). - Choose makes you feel good but it could have be more determinant. - No napking gift within the game! xD (it would be a great idea for the phyisical PS3 release haha) -    Pros:

    UPDATE:
    "400 Days" DLC is like another episode but it totally worth. Well narrated different little and connected stories. You should check yourself.    … Expand

    Being a person that mostly plays Action shooter games, this one was a completely new experience.
    I've loved the first season of the TV show, and i've found myself immersing in this Telltale experience even more.
    A truly amazing game.

    First thing is first this game is not for those gamers that want GAMEPLAY and GRAPHICS it's about STORY a fantastic one to be exact,you have to make some hard choises and difficult decisions because it plays out based on your decisions and you gotta make the right decision I had a lot of fun playing it with a controller.

    Telltale's The Walking Dead takes the player into a the world of the walking dead onto a beautiful told journey that no one who played the game will forget so soon. The dialogues and the story are written pretty good that lets you as player always wants to know how the story about Clementine, Lee and the other goes on. The game play is typical Telltale very easy and not very complex.

    The game tells its story in two way's in the first one are sequences were you just be able to choose an dialogue option, that have some effect on how the other folks will interact with you in the future, and sometimes quick time events and in the second one of the game you solve a few minor riddles in some very small areas where you are able to move a little bit "free" around and you mostly you are also able to talk to some folks.
    But like in many Telltale game the decisions and dialogue options you make have often no or nearly no effect for the future game that makes it nearly unnecessary to play the game again because it will end on the same way like before.    … Expand

    Telltale's The Walking Dead season 1 has great story and decent visuals. But out of all 'choice-based narrative experiences' it has one of the least impactful choices.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The story was absolutely excellent, eliciting real emotions from me. The characters were great, and the variety of game play was great, although not the best (easily overlooked by the great story). However, one thing I feel that was done terribly was the choices and how they affect the game. The ability to make choices is a great concept, but it wasn't executed properly, as it appears to be the mere illusion of choice (e.g. saving Shawn is pointless as he dies anyway, and you might as well steal from the Stranger, because he's going to come after you anyway, so might as well be guilty of stealing) which can easily be seen through. If the story didn't follow a set/linear storyline and had multiple endings that varied greatly from one another, it would've gotten a 9 or 10, but that being said, I was disappointed that your choices didn't matter a whole lot to the story, with only minor changes in dialogue and what happens (the biggest change being the presence of Carley or Doug, depending on who you saved at the drug store). But other than the choices, a great game for those who prioritize story over complexity of game play.… Expand

    Telltale's the walking dead is an incredibly good visual novel with fantastic characters, meaningful characters, and twists and turns that truly take the player by surprise and the player soon figures out no one is safe; the plot shield is weak for the characters here.

    I absolutely love this game, as I have every Telltale game that I've ever played. If you're not familiar with Telltale's games, they're basically "choose your own story".

In this game, you follow and control a man named Lee Everett, who, in the very beginning, meets a young girl named Clementine, who you follow in the future games. By controlling Lee, you must make difficult decisions in order to keep yourself and Clementine alive. I would highly recommend this game to anyone who loves a good story-based animated violence/horror game, as I do. I've always been into zombies, so this is my kind of game. Keep in mind, though, that this game does not follow the plot of the TV show "The Walking Dead", on AMC. There are a few similarities, such as meeting a few similar character and seeing a few similar places, but the game is overall very different in all aspects and scenarios… Expand

    Pese a mi cansancio del tema de zombie, esta saga es mi preferida de todas las que tiene Telltale. Buen comienzo para una serie, que prosigue con buen pie, en el segundo juego de Walking Dead. Pese a tenerlo comprado, todavía no he tenido tiempo de jugar "A New Frontier".

    Best game I've played. I usually play competitive FPS games but I like this game were you have to make interesting decisions and with a very good story. If you want a game like Fallout or Skyrim with less looting and more story, this is the best.

    El juego tiene una estética muy favorable apesar de que falten efectos o algunas texturas se vean un poco mal, pero realmente para ser un juego de 2012 podría ser perfectamente lanzado hoy en día con un lavado de cara más superficial.

    En tema jugable es muy simple, podría ser una peli interactiva con algún minijuego y puzzle entre medias.

    En fin si tienes curiosidad y te gustaría probarlo, te lo recomiendo 100% además que lo encontraras en plataformas digitales a 5eu o cosa así, lo cual es un regalo y si te engancha tienes una saga ya terminada que merece mucho la pena.    … Expand
