If you havent been living beneath a rock for the past 2 yrs Im certain youve heard of the Tv series The Walking Dead. Sure, the comic has been away for a long time however the display is much more recent, and has now been a massive hit with audiences since it began. With the shows victory, it didnt take lengthy for board games, plushies plus silly bobble-heads to hit the shelves. Luckily, Telltales new action adventure game isnt a money grab- its really among the best games Ive performed all year.
I didnt purchase all episodes when they initially hit Playstation Network plus Xbox Live. I really didnt know how I felt about episodic games rather yet. I kept hearing everyone ramble on about how desirable the game was knowning that the story line was incredible. Just earlier this month I decided to really find the whole retail disc with all five episodes loaded onto it. It wasnt a bad deal at all; for 26 $ youre going to get everything plus it wont fill up your hard-drive a because its online relative would.
As quickly because you get past the long loading screens youll find oneself playing because Lee, a guy down on his luck, whose present organization is the police officer whom is driving him to prison. As all great horror tales go you will be free in the initially five moments plus the hero might discover the globe isnt exactly what before be.
As Lee, you might have many options to communicate with not only characters however also cool objects in our society, however there isnt any lot of flexibility in terms of genuine gameplay. There are a particular or two ways to solve a puzzle or challenge to progress to another area. Its disappointing to have so much freedom plus so many options with characters attached to very boring gameplay.
Surprisingly enough, gameplay appears to take a backseat in this title- what youre truly after is the principal storyline. Without spoiling too much youre tasked with helping a small female called Clementine voiced masterfully by Melissa Hutchison find her parents. As youre progressing through the game youll communicate with many characters that endanger not only you however also Clementine. If you are even half human, youll care as to what happens to her might do anything to shield her from both devious additional survivors plus the ravenous undead.
Its incredibly all to easy to get caught up in every of the characters. TellTale Games did a masterful job in casting fantastic voice celebrities whom appear to deliver a better performance than the genuine celebrities in AMCs series. In fact, Id very watch a storyline about these survivors than anyone of the principal characters in the display.
Its not all lollipops plus rainbows in this game. Sure, the game has a few of the ideal writing around however there are main technical problems that might instantly suck you completely from the game. If the actual disc variant of the game came out, there is a massive bug on the Playstation where it would reset your progress from Episode 2. This regrettably occurred to me when I was almost finished with the event.
After restarting do you agree game, all of my progress in Episode 2 was wiped clean. I spent so much time speaking with characters plus going through the storyline I really felt like quitting. For the sake of gaming I had to finish it. The story was too good with smallest today I can change a few of my decisions up to that period making a clean slate. That being said, it was a horrible encounter plus I basically rushed through the story to commence the part where it reset.
I know a few of the bugs that have been present in the disc werent there on the genuine online title, so the most of players didnt experience them. Its just that with these hiccups it may really push the whole encounter down. If the game really had a small bit more time to bake in the range I feel like this title might be a serious contender for game of the entire year.
Ive been playing movie games almost ideal out of the uterus plus this was the initially storyline I was completely spent in. I was nervous to find if my favorite characters would live or die at the end. A movie game has not made me sad, scared plus left me wanting whats upcoming like The Walking Dead. In terms of the gameplay there really wasnt much there: the principal appeal is interacting with characters. You could possibly just get so far with quick-time events. Should you may tummy the technical bugs plus some boring gameplay technicians, you will be in for among the best games of 2012. Heres to the sequel!
