The Walking Dead the game

[Frankie_Says_Relax]

Just got through with episode 1 on PS3.

The last Telltale game that I played through was Back to the Future, and the first episode of this was as satisfying if not more.

The art style of the game is fantastic, taking a lot of the look of the comic book while retaining the signature Telltale style.

It's a point-and-click adventure game at its core, and what "action" sequences were there consist of little more than some timed button presses.

What was really nice in comparison to BTTF is that this one has a few sequences where you have to face hard choices about which characters to save from zombie attacks. There is no built in option to save both, you lose characters no matter what you do, and it's up to you to decide which ones with the rest of the story being permanently affected by your choices.

Fans of the TV series will be remiss that this is based on the comics, but thanks to the fact that both share some characters, you'll run into a few familiar faces in episode 1.

I'm in for the long haul. Probably should have gone ahead and done the season pass from the start!

Anybody else play it?

I didn't realize there was a game for it. That's awesome! I love that show. Sounds like I should check it out sometime. Wonder if it's available for the 360?

Yeah, Telltale's site lists PS3, 360 and PC. Looks like 360 is getting the love that was missed out on with Back to the Future.

Any idea which version is best, or if there's even any kind of appreciable difference? I'll probably just wait until the PC version inevitably goes on sale. I could get it on PC or 360.

It would be more fun to buy it now and experience it as the episodes come out, but I'm already playing too many other games at the same time right now.

I thoroughly enjoyed this game (or episode). Looking forward to the next installments, just wish there was some type of deal on the 360 for buying all episodes (PS3 and PC have a "season pass" if I recall correctly...).

From my own experience the 360 visuals are somewhat dark, making some details harder to see in night scenes. Didn't think too much of it, but then I read a blog that commented on the darkness issue and that other people they had talked to thought it was dark compared to other versions. Can't compare myself, but might be something you want to look into more if it's a concern.

Thanks. I played the demo on the 360, and the interface seemed a bit strange.
