    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The idea and the storyline was great, I played it right through as it kept me wanting to know more and find out what happens next. The only thing making my score negative is the fact that very little, if not none of your decisions actually influences the outcome of the game. Yes, you get to decide ones fate at the end, but further than than I experienced linear gameplay, with the story basically forcing you into a direction in which your choices matter very little. I believe this could have been an excellent title if the story was more influenced by the players actions.… Expand

    Have to say this was poor. The main problem is that it can't be installed to hard drive. If I'd known this I wouldnt have bought it. Should have relised after the walking dead eps 1 that tell tale don't care about their disc releases as it couldn't be installed either. This makes the game nearly unplayable. It freezes constantly and takes ages to load. It's bad. Pity cause itHave to say this was poor. The main problem is that it can't be installed to hard drive.

This makes the game nearly unplayable. It freezes constantly and takes ages to load. It's bad. Pity cause it was quite an interesting story but if you take the loading time off this is really short. Not worth the £30 I paid for it. Won't get another tell tale disc release.… Expand

    This game lacks bad on Xbox 360. Every combat scene lags. Even nonviolent scenes will lag. I was used to some lagging with the Walking Dead but this is ridiculous. In the flashbacks, the sounds play before the characters are shown speaking them.

    I hate rating this game with such an awful score, but since i got the disc release version, instead of the Xbox live bazaar download, i cannot even play it. The game lags so much on each and every scene that it's dizzying and annoying, and when met with the first "fight scene", i end up dead since it freezes when expecting any input. There is no way to bypass this, it cannot be installedI hate rating this game with such an awful score, but since i got the disc release version, instead of the Xbox live bazaar download, i cannot even play it.

    This game doens't work. Full stop. It gets into the start up menu, and then goes blank, and freezes my system. There is no install option. There is no update to fix this. It just does not work. I paid good money for literally nothing. TTG should be ashamed. Did they even test this? How stupid can one company be?

    Tell Tale Games nous démoule sa terrine habituelle dont il a le secret, une terrine qui comme d'habitude veut se faire passer pour un "jeu vidéo" mais très vaguement interactive avec ses QTE de merde à profusion, ses choix de dialogues en temps limité à l'impact tout aussi limité et ses graphismes dégueulasses en 16 couleurs ponctués d'autant de ralentissements !

    Une formule bien connue éhontée que TTG nous ressert à l'envi, recyclée à l'infini au fil des licences qu'elle récupère à droite et à gauche pour en faire ses fameux "jeux-poubelle". Ici, une vague histoire d'assassinats dans une communauté de personnages de contes de fées, pauvres migrants planqués dans un quartier sordide du monde réel : ça nous en touche une sans faire bouger l'autre.

    Pseudo-jeu à épisodes en anglais sous-titré qui n'arrête pas de blablater ses conneries à dormir debout, The Wolf among us est aussi palpitant qu'une rediffusion d'un épisode de Navarro et aussi profond que la lecture du Télé7jours.    … Expand

    Bigby Wolf is the perfect protagonist for this shocking Telltale adventure in the Fables universe, because of the convincing way you can mold him into a good or bad wolf. Too bad the game is lacking in the technical and gameplay department. [Aug 2014, p.63]

    Cry Wolf isn’t without its problems, but it provides a satisfying conclusion to an episodic series that we feared would wrap inconclusively.

    Telltale struck gold with The Walking Dead, but it seems they merely struck bronze with a promising future in The Wolf Among Us. It has some wonderful characters and a lot of potential, but it fell apart as the season continued.
