    I found episode 2 alittle boring. But by the middle of it, it started to get more intresting. By the end of the epiosde 2, it made you want to contiune the experience and see what epiosde 3 will be about. Very good ending. If it wasnt for the "technical" issues with this epiosde I would of gave it a 8 out of 10. Overall, its worth playing. Good job telltale games! and please hurry up withI found episode 2 alittle boring. But by the middle of it, it started to get more intresting.

    Wow....10's? seriously? You did notice this was for the ps3 version right? Well I won't waste your time: This game has very very noticeable framerate problems. I have the newest version of the ps3....and I downloaded the digital version off of psn (were talking winter 2013 here....so any patches have already been released)....so the game is the only one to blame here.

These game issues literally ruined the overall experience and prevent me from giving this game anymore than a 7/10. Yes the story is compelling and great and everything good about you read I probably agree with. I'd give this a higher score if it wasn't for the crappy release. There are still issues from the first game....mainly the lack of transition to loading screens. Couple that with these 2-5 second screen freezes while characters are talking and you get a pretty botched experience. I downloaded all the episodes on sale. Will be playing episode 3 soon, hopefully there won't be any more technical issues.… Expand

    In terms of gameplay you can still expect the same simple running around, talking to people and mashing buttons when you get attacked by a zombie. Story-wise however, this episode does what it needs to do. [September 2012, p.86]

    For the raw, skittish tension of the decisions you make? The Walking Dead is unmatched. [Issue#221, p.79]

    Despite a non-optimized to best development, undermined by haste to publish the game, it remains impossible not to be affected by the quality of the second episode of the series The Walking Dead.
