When I originally heard Telltale Games was making a Walking Dead game, I was a little frustrated at the news. Not because I didn't think it would make a good game, but because I didn't think Telltale could do the series justice. See I'm a huge fan of Jurassic Park, and when Telltale made a game based off that series a couple years ago, I felt as though they prevented from establishing itself in gaming again by making a low budget cash-in, that just didn't capture what made that movie so great. Granted, it was the only game by Telltale I had ever played, but it still left a bad enough taste in my mouth to not look foward to their future projects. I enjoy The Walking Dead TV series, and didn't want that to be made by poorly done game, so I pretty much decided to never give this one a chance. 

Down the road, I came to find that the game has a 92 score on Metacritic and had actually won the Spike VGA's GOTY award. Two things I had not expected, but I still didn't purchase it because I felt like I still wouldn't enjoy the game. 

However, I went against this judgment and bought recent PS Vita bundle that included a copy of the game. I just finished playing through it, and... I'm speechless. The game is a masterpiece. Sure, it may not be the prettiest game out there, nor feature some super revolutionary gameplay, but the story, the characters, the voice acting, and (most importantly) Clementine,  just made the game100% worth it. It fits so well into the overall universe, and Telltale did a great job starting off the story of a very young girl in such a world. Honestly, I can't wait for Season 2, and I might even play through it on the PS3 to take a different route in the story, and earn another platinum trophy on the side. ;)

I know this game has been out for a while now, but I'm curious as to what anyone else who has played this game thinks.

I voted meh because I'm not really into interactive movies.

I've been wanting to pick this up on the vita, ive seen you have played TLOU...How does it compare to that game?

btw This is posted up twice

So you havent played it then?

I still need to get this.

Isn't it a graphic adventure game? There is not much gameplay that could be had ina graphic adventure game...

 Overall, I would say TLoU is the better game for the simple fact that it has much better character development, and I just prefer the 3rd person survival horror gameplay, plus the MP adds a lot more replay value. This game is still fantastic though, and is definitely worth a playthrough if you enjoy the show and want to experience it from a different angle with different characters etc. In other words, both are fantastic.

I just noticed that, and the first is posted in the wrong topic section. I have no idea how to fix it though.

I like it overall but from all the hype and praise I was expecting a bit more. The story and relationship between the characters were great but the gameplay aspect just felt bland. I found Episode 2 to be the best, what about you?

I guess I just came into it with such low expectations that what I got wowed me. You just can't help but care about that little girl. I agree the gameplay wasn't phenomenal (and pointed that out), but Telltale isn't really known for that. They're known for characters and story driven experiences, and I think they nailed it here. I would say Episode 2 was the best as well. It caught me completely off guard. 

P.S. Can someone help me fix this double post and topic section problem. I'm still new to this.

I have. Have you?
