![]() I would gladly recommend this game to anyone with an eye for action and adventure. ![]() Overall, Telltale Games made yet another astonishing video game, following the story of the last episodes. The pain and sorrow in her voice, pleading for Lee to stay awake and alive was the part that killed me. Not only the death of this likable character provoked me to the verge of bawling, but the young character of Clementine was there to watch it all go down. It left me weeping for a long while, with the main character named Lee dying a slow and obviously painful death. The final scenes of this episode is what hit me the hardest. The final episode of this season was full of many shocking events, such as Lee having the wrist of his left arm chopped off by Krista, and the emotional situation of Ben (and perhaps Kenny.) dying an over-whelming death. In my honest opinion, though, it was possibly the most emotional out of any video game I have ever played. The ending to this episode of The Walking Dead video game was quite possibly the most emotional and intense out of all of them. The Walking Dead seems to leave a permanent impact, a story buried into the mind of the player. There is hundreds and hundreds of video games out there, each with a plot that's easily consumble, and quickly forgetton. To conclude there's several aspects which make the Walking Dead a masterpiece. Nevertheless, the story is tells makes it's more enjoyable than playing most video games. It's an interactive film, the game elements are lacking. The main downside to the Walking Dead is that it's not really a game. It captivates everything the game is about: Loss, adversity, faith and hope. It's genuinely comparable to some phenomenal violin scores, such as Schindler's list. ![]() The theme, Alive Inside, is nothing short of a masterpiece. However, past the surface, Lee is actually a good man, a man guided by principle. Lee, at face value, is a jealous murderer, and someone who would be regarded as scum and looked down upon in the normal world. The story follows Lee in his struggle to care and nuture for Clementine, in a new world that's cruel, depraved and twisted. It's emotional, poignant and most importantly, incredibly human. It's possibly the best Telltale game, alongside the Walking Dead season 2. The Walking Dead is one of the best games of all time. But there is hope - apparently, there's already a season 2 in the making. All in all, this is a great game and the big shame is that the first season is only five chapters long. The voice acting could be a little better, but it works. This is kind of cool, but sometimes, this is taken a little too far, when you see drawn lines as shadows where there shouldn't be any. Graphics: Since the game is based on the comics, it has taken on graphics that resembles that. This is actually part of the game's appeal - there is no forced love scene with someone you don't really want to get involved in - but there IS blood. Rating: The game is rated M, and in such a game, it would be almost mandatory to include a couple of steaming sex scenes, but they are very absent. Some very intelligent writing has gone into the game to make sure you will get a very real, and very genuine feeling out of it. Script: Since each episode provides about 2 hours of gameplay, here is the really great strength of the game: in a very short time, you get to know the people around you, and when something happens you CARE. This is a quite simple way of getting the player involved, especially when people starts referring to what you have said earlier. Here I should also mention that people listens to what you say (or not say in some cases) and remembers it. Gameplay: Playing the game on a PC is a breeze - a lot of effort has gone into making sure you only need the movement keys and the mouse to play the game - the inventory is only accessed when needed and everything is lined up in a very straightforward way, from responses to actions. ![]() This is in some ways a weak point - the game doesn't become so much of an RPG as an interactive film, but luckily, Lee is interesting enough so you don't loose interest in him. The protagonist: As in many other games, it is not possible to make your own character - you play as the former university teacher Lee Everett, starting out on his way to prison. The story that plays out is very character driven, and it is more important to interact the right way with the right person than finding a Big F_cking Gun to mow down zombies with. The Walking Dead - The Game goes back to the zombie genre's roots, and turns the zombies into sources of horror instead of gun targets - that is what I think might be the most important aspect of this game, since there are no hordes a la Left 4 Dead to gun down.
