Walking Dead $14.99 Amazon PCDD

Quote from unlimitedmp : It's a really well made choice -> outcome type of game. Your decisions determines who lives and dies, alliances etc. I've been watching gameplay walk throughs on youtube.

There's not as much choice as it first appears, most of it is out of your hands, the story advances along the same lines regardless of what you do.
I Like the game but the reality is you're locked into a story, you just choose how to get there but all roads lead to the same place, a perfect example in this last episode you meet a doctor that comes with you, regardless if you tell him you want his help or not.

You can quite litterly say "nah i'll be fine on my own" all it does is open up a different dialog which has the same outcome in the end.

I hope if they do a 2nd game that there is more freedom.

Quote from kovy : Is this as bad as the show or is it better?

If you don't like the show you wont like the game, the reverse is likely also true.

Quote from wowyahoo : I Wish the main character was white

Why? what does it matter?

Quote from bigpapii34 : I know its not Left 4 Dead, which is fine - but do you actually fight anything in this game? Or is it more of clicking a choice and waiting to see what happens. The reviews didn't seem to clarify this.

I think it's best described as a interactive TV show.
Emphasis is on social dynamics of your group and decision making, almost all dialog is timed.. which means you usually do not have time to sit and think about how to respond.

There isn't much action in the game, there are zombies yes but the combat is simple, easy, and by no means the main focus of the game.

You're primarily choosing branches of dialog.
If you're looking for action skip it, otherwise it's not bad although you really don't have as much freedom as your dialog choices would suggest, regardless of your choices you're basically locked into linear story just with alternate paths of dialog.

Sometimes you can directly choose the outcome of who lives and dies but doesn't really hinder the continuation of the story.

For example say you tell the group they should not do something, but that "something" is required to advance the story.. like going some place.. what will happen is the dialog will change, their will be discussion, and ultimately the group will overrule you by majority and it will happen anyway.

They need to work on this for the next series if they do another.
It's not apparent how your choices are really limited until you play it 2 or 3 times and choose different dialog options you see that (for anything that really matters) your freedom of choice was just an illusion.
