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'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

I would say The Last of Us beats it in almost every aspect, but I would give the slight edge in story to Walking Dead. Just a bit better though, not really anything that makes a huge difference.

The voice acting, the gameplay, the graphics etc are all better in the Last of Us. Of course this is my opinion and I'm a Naughty Dog fanboy so...yeah.

Overall I thought the game was pretty good. I played each episode as they came out. I was blown away by the demo then paid for the rest of the episode straight after. I bought the second episode as soon as it was available in the UK then I grew impatient waiting for the UK release dates for the remaining episodes so I bought the USA version of the season pass and installed it on a new ps3 which I got free with my phone so I got episodes 3,4 and 5 as soon as they were available in the US. I thought it was a good game but I preferred episodes 1-3 although each episode had good moments.

I would definitely get it for the Vita if I had one since I think it's probably one of the best games on the system.

It is definitelty Telltale's best game. The walking dead 400 days dlc was pretty good as well. I'm looking forward to Telltale's Wolf among us game and season 2 of the walking dead.

I thought the game was fairly meh. I just didn't find the gameplay engaging at all and I didn't even feel in charge of the story... But I seem to be in the minority with this

speechless? it didn't prevent you from writing a wall of text!

I'm gonna buy this game-hope i'll be speechless too

I actually preferred the story in TLOU to be honest. I felt that the characters where more believable as were their motivations. In TLOU you are made to feel that what happened could actually happen since it is backed up with scientific explanation. I thought that TLOU was less predictable as well. That game continously surprised me and I couldn't put the game pad down. As much as I enjoyed TWD I couldn't play 2 episodes back to back yet I played TLOU for 6 hours straight on each playthrough and had to force my self to turn off the console, sometimes playing through the night until 8am. TLOU is definitely the best game I have played and is my favourite. I Suspect it will  get GOTY. It's definitely my GOTY so far. I'm looking forward to GTA5 but I don't imagine feeling the same connection to the characters or being as engrossed in the story as I was with TLOU since they will be 2 very different types of game.

I'm actually playing through the game as well right now! I've just completed Episode 3 and will embark on Ep 4 today, and I'm blown away. I love this game. The characters feels so well crafted, and story is great!

I'll pick up TLOU later down the road, but judging from these comments that games seems even better.

It is basically a long movie/cartoon with minor gameplay that gives you the idea that you change totally the story thanks to the choices you make but in fact most of us saw 95% the same stuff after finishing it..

I enjoyed it but at the end i had to force me trough it.
