    So the game finally heats up. The story progresses, quite fast. There weren't many action sequences in this episode. The game gives you a solid TWD experience. A little short, and no hubs for character development, but other than that a excellent expansion to this Season.

    this episode hit all the right notes and I hope future episodes follow the same chemistry. less walking around and solving tedious puzzles and more of what the game is really about, the characters and your interaction with them. the title of this episode totally explains the focus, wether or not to put yourself at risk for the people you care about, there wasn's a specific moment that madethis episode hit all the right notes and I hope future episodes follow the same chemistry. less walking around and solving tedious puzzles and more of what the game is really about, the characters and your interaction with them. the title of this episode totally explains the focus, wether or not to put yourself at risk for the people you care about, there wasn's a specific moment that made this episode particularily memorable besides maybe the last ten minutes, not to say the rest was boring, infact quite the opposite, It kept the same tone the whole way through, its just that the scenes were I was shocked at first made future scenes a little bit more predictable than they should of been, not going to spoil anything. but this episode was freakin awesome none the less of course, and I am very eager for the next one… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The worst episode so far in the walking dead series. The plot makes no sense, why not just kill bill (you will do it anyway) then take over the place.. Instead you have to draw attention of the zombie herd and fight (or bypass) through them and then do what and go where?? Why the hell you want to draw attention of thousands of zombies just to escape from one crazy man and this so called prison? Sure the writers make it that way like the herd is inevitably heading to this place, but it is just lame writing IMO. When I first saw this place at the end of last episode I thought finally we can have some serious drama and interesting conflicts, but then the place just fall apart over night. We know almost nothing about the place and people there, what a waste of opportunity. The story progress too fast and goes nowhere.… Expand

    The Walking Dead: Season 2 Episode 3- In Harm's Way can best be described as jaw-dropping. Telltale has taken the story in a surprising, yet very exciting direction. The next episode cannot come sooner.

    A gritty, harsh episode which captures the brilliance of The Walking Dead perfectly. You're faced with tough decisions, you're faced with the difficultly of maintaining good relationships with those around you and you're on the edge of your seat the entire way. It left me just wanting more.

    This increasingly dark and bleak looking series gives you good taste of the Walking Dead universe that Kirkman had designed. I find myself wanting more and more as the series continues to put this poor girl into a world where she must grow up quickly and try not to loose too much of herself in a world increasingly devoid of humanity. I felt some of the choices in the game were not reallyThis increasingly dark and bleak looking series gives you good taste of the Walking Dead universe that Kirkman had designed. I find myself wanting more and more as the series continues to put this poor girl into a world where she must grow up quickly and try not to loose too much of herself in a world increasingly devoid of humanity. I felt some of the choices in the game were not really options, more teasers like with the first season. Something bad will usually happen even if you tried your best or made different choices.Nonetheless I look forward to playing through this game over and over like I did first season.… Expand

    Arguably the best episode of this season so far. [Issue#113, p.86]

    Although the repercussions from decisions in 400 Days don’t prove as critical as Telltale promised, In Harm’s Way still gets Season Two back on track after it appeared to be losing itself in the first two episodes.

    In Episode 3 - In Harm's Way the story starts to pick up steam making us more psyched about the rest of the season by the minute. Clementine and her friends are still being hunted down by bloodthirsty monsters this episode. And then there are also the zombies, of course.
