To be honest I've been playing a lot of Dead Island recently which has a very similar concept to The Walking Dead. I've been a massive fan of the show since season 1. However I'm pretty satisfied with Dead Island - a very decent game for the cheap price.

I want this game to be good just because it has Daryl and Merle in it, but I just can't see it.

I think I'm going to buy it & give it a chance. I've got a best buy reward zone gift certificate that's expiring on it's release date. Plus I haven't played Madden 13 in weeks so I'm trading it in. At the worst, I'll trade it back in & wait for The Last of Us.

I'll give it a chance, I'm a huge fan of TWD and want to see how this plays something fierce.

Well I rented it and I like it so far. The zombies coming out of nowhere actually scare me a bit.

IGN is going to play it for a few hour on a live stream, if anyone is interested.
Looks like trash to me, hopefully it isn't.

There are no reviews out for it, which on release day, is almost always a bad sign. There has barely been any media coverage of the game at all. The game was basically rushed out, it should have been delayed to release along side season 4 of the show.

Watching some gameplay from the IGN stream.
The textures are a joke, the collision detection is really egh.
Not sold. I work at a used game store where I can just borrow games for free and I still doubt I'll give this a shot.

I'm watching the ign stream as well and honestly this looks like it was made five years ago.

This looks like a ps2 game, clearly rushed out to capitalize on the license. Just a typical no effort first person game. I'll stick with the tellgame walking dead games

my brother boguht it and he's been playing it all day.. he said thegraphics may not be the best but he says the game is fun and can be challenging.. and if a game is fun,.. thats all that matters......so don't judge a book by it's cover folks. but then again different strokes for different folks. judge for yourselves.. not by what it looks like thoguh...
You can findsurvivors to take with you... my borther's ahd this bald guy from a gas staton go with him,... he said that he sent himto go find supplies... and..he didn't make it back.. lol

This game is like Dead Island meets Orgeon Trail. In between missions you have to choose whether you want to travel on the Backroads, Streets, or Highways and you can stop at places to scavenge for fuel and supplies. I've had fun with it and I have found it pretty challenging. I've heard the game is short so that could be a problem. I haven't beat it yet though.

I got a good chunk accomplished tonight. Here's my thoughts thus far:
The good:
-I like that you make all of the decisions (IE. Take the highway or back roads, who travels with you.)
-There are a couple different moments that made me jump. The music can mess with you sometimes. The volume will raise like something is happening, but nothing will. Other times a walker will unexpectedly be in your face. Nice touch.
The Meh:
-The graphics aren't anything worth bragging about. They are acceptable, but not spectacular.
-Things seem to get a little repetitive when it comes to building layouts.
The disappointing:
-While you may choose who rides with you, they don't really do anything with you. I can send them out on runs for gas or food, then at the end of the level you find out if they got anything. I had one person not even return.
-(To where I'm at) Merle hasn't really done anything. He chimes in on the radio every now & then, & is in a few cut scenes, & that's pretty much it.
-Killng walkers can be a bit of a pain sometimes. It's recommended that you use silent weapons to kill walkers (knife, hammer) so you don't attract hurds, but unless you sneak up from behind it takes 4 swings to put one down. It's annoying when you are dealing with multiple walkers.
Overall:
It definitely has not been worth $50. I only paid $27 after a gift card, but I don't think it's worth a cent over $30. The game doesn't feel polished, but if you like games where you can roam around, you'll probably enjoy it. A huge plus would be if there was an online co opt mode, where you can play the missions with a friend. My plan is to beat this ASAP, so I can trade it back in.

From what I saw of the live stream it looks like a fun game albeit a repetitive and terribly unpolished game. I'll pick it up when it drops in price to about $20.

Finished it today. It was VERY short. I took my time playing it, check out every room & building I could get into. I think I had this beat in 7 hours, tops. It's getting traded in tomorrow.
