The Walking Dead: The Game Review.

Hello Everybody! sorry for the long time without posting, i am quite busy in this last semester of College so i dont have much time to make my postings.
But Today i will make a little review of a game i finished playing yesterday, The Walking Dead: The Game:
Lee Everett, Protagonist
I think most people know the Tv series and HQ " The Walking Dead", about a group of Survivors led by Rick Grimes in a World taken by a zombie outbreak, it is a nice series in TV, but i think the Third Season was bad in relation to the others, i hope the fourth will be better, the HQ are quite nice too, but i stopped reading it a long time ago.
But let´s go to the Game, the game is divided in 5 episodes, in a episodic graphic adventure, looks like a movie, but you can make some decisions who change somethings in the story, the basic controls are the mouse and the keyboard in The PC, for Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 the controllers varies.
The game starts with Lee Everett, the protagonist and murder convict suffer an car accident when the policeman taking him to the prison for life sentence hit a zombie, then, to escape the zombies, he run into the house of Clementine, a little girl alone waiting for her parents to come back.

The game is very nice and with a catchy story, it is not much action or you can change much of it by actions, you see, it is quite linear, but you can make friendship with Kenny (a character, father of Duck and husband of Katjaa) and then he will help you in some situations, but some facts and some deaths cannot be avoieded.
As i said, the game is divided in 5 episodes, with the following names: 


  1. "A new day" At the onset of the zombie apocalypse, Lee rescues young Clementine, and joins with other survivors in Macon, Georgia to protect themselves from the hordes of walkers.
  2. "Starved for Help" - After having secured a motel, Lee and the other survivors run low on food, and decide to take an offer made by the St. Johns, a family who own a nearby dairy farm. They come to learn the St. Johns may not be what they seem.
  3. "Long road ahead" -When bandits and walkers attack the motel, the group is forced to flee without their supplies, leading to tensions on the road. Kenny loses both his wife and son and the group find an operating train, heading to Savannah, where Clementine hopes to find her parents.
  4. "Around every corner" The survivors find Savannah overrun with walkers. Upon finding a boat, they make plans to secure supplies from the fortified community of Crawford, only to learn that it too has been overrun. Clementine is kidnapped by a mysterious man, and Lee gets bitten, leaving him little time to save her.
  5. "No Time Left" Lee and the other survivors head towards a hotel where Clementine is held. Lee continues on alone when the group gets separated. The man at the hotel holds a grudge against Lee for indirectly causing the death of his family, but Lee soon overpowers him and saves Clementine. On the verge of turning, Lee makes sure that Clementine will be safe.
Besides this 5 episodes, they have one DLC, 400 days after, an extra that is a introduction for the second season of the game, explaining the story of 5 future characters of the game, i will not talk about then, play it and see by yourself!

Ending this review, i liked this game, it is very entertaining with a nice story, the decisions should let you change more the game, as they promised, but it is ok, it is a must play for the fans of zombie-lore and TWD, and soon, in this fall in the north hemisphere the second season will come out, so, prepare your pcs and consoles to play!
