    The Walking Dead: A Telltale Series has one of the greatest stories to have arrived on PlayStation 3. Unfortunately, it's bogged down by too many glitches.

Dabei ist die grundlegende Spielmechanik, des in Episoden veröffentlichten Adventures, so simple wie effektiv zugleich. Die Interaktion der Telltale Titel beschränkt sich nämlich auf ein Untersuchen der Umgebung, eine Dialogmechanik, sowie diverse Quick Time Events, mit denen wir vor allem Action Szenen im Spiel bestreiten. Das Ganze funktioniert allerdings überraschend gut und hat sich mittlerweile gar als eigenständiges Genre etablieren können, das auch von anderen Studios, beispielsweise Dontnod Entertainment, erfolgreich bedient wird.

    Die besondere Qualität von "The Walking Dead" ergibt sich aber weder aus dem Spielsystem, noch aus dem teuren Franchise, sondern in erster Linie aus dem erzählerischen Geschick, das Telltale Games insbesondere in der ersten Staffel dieser Videospielserie beweist. Denn die Geschichte um Lee, Clementine und der Gruppe Überlebende, der sich die beiden angeschlossen haben, könnte dramatischer und tragischer kaum erzählt sein. Zudem stellt uns die Erzählung immer wieder vor extreme Herausforderungen, in denen wir selbst zum Handeln gezwungen werden. In vielen dieser Situationen denkt man: "Nope, das will ich jetzt wirklich nicht tun". Man wird, zwecks Überlebens, letztlich zu Entscheidungen gezwungen, denen man im Alltag so sicherlich nie begegnen würde. Das trifft nicht nur das emphatische Wesen in uns, sondern bringt uns auch an den Rand unserer Ethik.

    Neben der emotionalen Betroffenheit, die das Spiel als dramatische Erzählung erzeugt, sind es so vor allem diese gekonnt inszenierten Ausnahmesituationen, die Telltales "The Walking Dead" bei Veröffentlichung nicht nur zu einem Kritiker Liebling, sondern auch zu einem großen Publikums Erfolg gemacht haben.    … Expand

I finally got around to beating Tale Tales The Walking Dead, and I have to say damn, damn, damn. This game is awesome I know I won't be saying anything that you haven't already heard before but this game proves that story can beat gameplay any day of the week. I am in that camp I would rather play a game with an amazing story with meh controls, than a game with great gameplay but lame ass story. This game doesn't always have the best control scheme but it works to get you to the next bit of story. Sadly when you find out the game doesn't actually give you a choice on what happens it loses some of it's luster. A wise man said that this game gives you the elusion of choice and I completely agree with that. Folks in this game if someone is meant to die they are going to die one way or another. I personally think that is a pretty **** thing but it doesn't affect the story at all. This game was able to almost make me cry with the relationship between the character, it can be a real downer. This is the best zombie game out there and I believe it really captures one of the zombie apocalypse scenarios that we would love to see. It is an adventure game so people who only want fast gameplay and the hell with story avoid this game at all cost cause you will more than likely hate it. To the rest of you who are in my shoes and didn't jump on this game last year I got it for eight dollar and it was well worth the price. I give this 4.5-out of 5 the only reason this isn't a perfect game to me is because it didn't have the best gameplay mechanics.… Expand

    Probably the best episodic game ever created! You start to love Lee & Clementine [2 protagonist] right from the beginning and have an epic journey with them through 5 episodes. A powerful story with amazing character development through each episodes leading up to THAT ending

    The Walking Dead: TTS is pretty much a tamer version of the FX show, but is another story about survivors from the Atlanta area. Like with every other Telltale game, its a CYOA (Choose your own adventure), so there are all kinds of ways a situation can go. (Save for a few key moments)

    As a story by itself, it is a must play for fans of the series, along with Season 2. (which is even better!)

Conoce a una pequeña niña de nombre Clementine la cual los llevara de a vivir muchas situaciones , mas tragedias que buenas noticias, quizás la vida que le depara a un hombre y una niña en un mundo de zombies no sea de lo mas prometedor.
    Es un juego el cual no lucen las grandes gráficas ni la gran potencia tecnológica de otros juegos, pero comparando con otros transmite mayor emoción, pues que las voces que le dan vida a los personajes que iremos conociendo son excelentes , pero algo que me resulto increíble es que apesar de que no tiene los grandes gráficos vaya que esas expresiones que tienen los individuos en el juego resaltan mucho mas que otros trabajos que se jactan de la tecnología de motioncapture de los que he podido jugar previamente, y complementen maravillosamente las voces, tomamos decisiones en el juego las cuales repercutirán en el numero de integrantes con los que llegamos al final, pero al jugarlo mas de una vez y decir que pasaría si hago esto?, voy por aquí?, no se diferente al anterior, no afecta de gran manera la historia pero apesar de ellos es una historia que no reinventa la rueda una historia sencilla bien contada, detalles que marcan y recordaras,

    El juego es un point and click donde controlamos a Lee Everett, un hombre condenado a prisión que halla la libertad tras accidentarse durante los primeros brotes de la infección zombie, conociendo en su camino a Clementine, una niña que será su compañera durante toda la serie.
    El juego en si no innova en nada es una historia donde tendremos que tomar decisiones muy fuertes llegando a ser por momentos muy emocional, evocando tristeza, ira o frustración dependiendo de cómo interactuemos con Clementine y el resto de personajes.
    Mi recomendación es juéguenlo, aprovechen que casi no hay plataforma para hacerlo, es una historia muy emotiva y atrapante.

Each chapter/episode this game provides is one more step towards a never-ending hell of emotion and graphic storytelling. Each episode provides the player with more insight on the situation at hand and more importantly, the people that are with you. You become one with the game. As tensions rise, you seem to be able to make harsh decisions seem like a common thing. As you become more in touch with Lee, the main protagonist, you feel nothing but sympathy for a man who we eventually find out killed a man who slept with his wife in spite of hatred. The story behind a grown man who was sentenced to jail who, after the outbreak of zombies, takes care of a little girl named Clementine is for sure to be never be taken lightly. No person is safe. No person can be trusted. Emotions will be flowing right through your body. Play this game as if you are in the game itself.… Expand
