The Walking Dead (video game)

WM · May 1, 2012

While players not familiar with the franchise might be expecting something out of the Left4Dead series, The Walking Dead is anything but. In reality, it actually follows the pacing and seriousness of the books on an impressive level, capturing the intensity and raw emotion exuded by its characters.

Gameplay style follows more of a point-and-click adventure, with role-playing elements peppered throughout. The game boasts the ability to change based on your actions and words, so a second playthrough may net different results. While one would think a point-and-click title needs to be played with a mouse on a PC or Mac, Telltale has done an excellent job with the game regardless of platform, so the experience is mostly the same no matter what you play it on.

Where The Walking Dead video game really succeeds is its ability to emulate the engrossing can't-put-this-down excitement of reading the comic book. Just like the desperate characters it portrays, you'll have a hard time giving up.

Of course the game isn't without a few technical hiccups that include occasionally laggy performance and some awkward animations. Overall, though, The Walking Dead looks great, features quality voice actors, and provides an interactive storytelling experience that other zombie games can only dream of delivering.
