    i think the walking dead season 2 made by telltale is a master piece that rivals top games its is not an action game but the story's amazing it is truly a game to get. If you have not played the first season you might wanna go and check that out first to know the story

    It's still a great game, but the emotional journey isn't so great compared to the first season because there just isn't any relationship here that can match the one between Lee and Clementine.

    While it was somewhat fun to play the game as Clementine, it was also often extremely frustrating because it seemed like everyone was making the 10-year-old you do everything. An overwhelming feeling of helplessness coming from the fact that you're a child is pretty daunting as well.
    A little disappointed, but I did enjoy it. If you loved season 1, chances are this game will leave you missing Lee and the first season a lot. I don't expect season 3 will top season 1 either, unless Lee magically comes back (Can he please?).    … Expand

    As emotional as the first, Season 2 will make you cry and bawl as you only hope is destroyed around you. Although the season initially starts off slowly, the later episodes will not disappoint! The game-play and graphics are a lot smoother than that of Season 1, forming a hopeful future for the upcoming Season 3....

    Though it doesn't exactly match the trials of Lee Everett from the first season, all of the episodes will leave you craving the next one, and each one is written so well that they will all leave you in emotion-altering suspense.

    The second season is delivered with the same level of quality you can expect from Telltale, providing an engrossing tale of survival where every individual is as vulnerable as the 11 old protagonist. Both writing and acting are exceptional. The game is heavily scripted, player choice is often an illusion masked with clever dialogue, and nonetheless the real value is how the player respondsThe second season is delivered with the same level of quality you can expect from Telltale, providing an engrossing tale of survival where every individual is as vulnerable as the 11 old protagonist.

Walking Dead is possibly the finest interactive drama there is to date, Heavy Rain comes real close.… Expand

    While this game unfortunately does not quite hit the same heights as the first with its characters and story it is still a great sequel and hopefully the announced Season 3 either continues a great series or starts a fresh.

    Season Two is still good, let that be stated immediately. However, it's very far from the brilliance of Season One. Clem works well as a protagonist and it's fun to help shape her and mold her as a child. However, the dynamic narrative that worked so well between Lee and Clem in the first season is lacking and never mad up for.

    The basic flaw of the season is the lack of purpose. You don't have a major goal really at any time, you don't feel like there's a natural flow and so all the little events, personal drama, human loss and so on end up feeling rushed and haphazard. The other characters are either unbelievable or just never fully developed before they disappear and this is in stark contrast to Season 1.

    The strength of Season 2 is still the same - great general mood, easy and intuitive interaction with the story and a strong lead character. It's definitely worth playing but not nearly as good as the first.    … Expand

    Not as good as Season One, but Telltale competes only with itself [Oct 2014]

    The game plays on emotions with ease and I think only a heart of stone could prevent you from feeling moved by some scenes. [Nov 2014, p.62]

    The further we get from that finale the deeper it sinks in. You need to experience it. [Dec 2014, p.78]
