    Superb story with exceptional characters and intriguing relationships. This game should get a perfect 10 but the Vita version has significant technical problems.

It affects gameplay and takes away some of the fun and immersion (most of the times I die are as a result of these issues, which is frustrating).

    Never tried the PS3 version, but I'm guessing it's better than this. My suggestion to you is to get it on a different system, but you should definitely buy it.    … Expand

    The Walking Dead on the Vita was an excellent experience. I enjoyed the story and was glad that I jumped into this after years of hearing about it. The decisions and dialog are great - I was often thinking about the game after I had put it down. Obviously the gameplay isn't a strong point - but the story and environment helps you overcome the short comings there. Some of the issues IThe Walking Dead on the Vita was an excellent experience.

Obviously the gameplay isn't a strong point - but the story and environment helps you overcome the short comings there. Some of the issues I had with the game stem from what seems to be limitations with the Vita hardware. There were points in the game that I died a few times because of major lag / response from the Vita. There was nothing I could do to combat a zombie fast enough to live through a situation and found myself having to play a spot a few times despite knowing what I had to do. There were also areas of bad slow down and framerate skipping - which typically doesn't bother me - but was bad enough to make me want to put it down from time to time. All in - this game would have been an 8 had I played it on PS3/4. Technical issues pulled it back a point.… Expand

    Despite being far from the best version of this series, the Walking Dead on Vita is still a stellar adventure. The quality of Telltale's work transcends the various technical issues that haunt this port.

    The Walking Dead on the Vita is still the same fantastic game it was before; the story still resonates, you still form emotional connections with the characters and you still have the same pangs of horrific doubt over each and every choice the game puts in front of you.

    All you really need to know is that this is a very capable port of one of the most celebrated games of 2012. Prepare to be drawn into a superbly written apocalyptic tale that will hook you in completely and aim for your feels. [November 2013, p83]
