Presumably, this is something that was already known by everyone that's already played The Walking Dead on PS3/Xbox/PC/iOS, but if you haven't yet had a chance to see it for yourself, then you owe it to yourself to rectify your oversight and get it for your PS Vita immediately.
What is there left to tell about The Walking Dead, our personal best game of 2012. Those who only own a Vita owe it to themselves to play this thrilling interactive zombie adventure. [October 2013 p.94]

Excellent title, the best point'n'click I ever played. Highly recommended for all who like good story (better in The Last of Us). Actually the game is better than Naughty Dog game in almost every aspect (well, dont expect better graphics :). You can buy whole season for a few $ because its constant on psn sales.

This is one of the greatest games of all time. This is not the best port for the game but it does not make it a worse game or a worse experience. the story is great, the art style is great and i feel for the characters. The story is based on The Walking dead T.V show but has different characters, story and plot.

As of this writing, the price is the same on PC and Vita, so if you've got a computer that can handle it, that's how I'd recommend playing it. But if you don't, grab this one on Vita and look past its issues to the great game lying underneath.
All you really need to know is that this is a very capable port of one of the most celebrated games of 2012. Prepare to be drawn into a superbly written apocalyptic tale that will hook you in completely and aim for your feels. [November 2013, p83]
Despite being far from the best version of this series, the Walking Dead on Vita is still a stellar adventure. The quality of Telltale's work transcends the various technical issues that haunt this port.
The Walking Dead on the Vita is still the same fantastic game it was before; the story still resonates, you still form emotional connections with the characters and you still have the same pangs of horrific doubt over each and every choice the game puts in front of you.
The Walking Dead on PS Vita isn’t the definitive version, which is a shame, as the personal experience of the Vita itself could have added so much to the overall experience of the game. Instead what you get is a decent enough port that maintains most of the game’s charms, but just falls a little short on previous releases. However, that still makes it better than most games on the market.
Now, originally I gave this a 9.9 out of 10 saying that though I hadn't beat it quite yet,
I had LOVED IT.
Really, this game is good that it deserved to be ported to almost every damn console.
I walked into 'the walking dead' a little sour, it was 2012 (or 2013), I had gotten the first 2 episodes
on my PS3 for free from PS Plus. Of course, the series was not over yet and with the good reviews
the series had gotten, I tried it. I had played a little bit of the first episode and had gotten SO stuck that I walked away with a sour face on. Then, in Christmas of 2013, I had gotten the vita with the walking dead bundle. Now, I had seen this bundle in very few places, at most I would see it in the nearest gamestop,
or in those rigged arcade machines when I was in an arcade. Now that I have it, and beat it,
here is my review.
The walking dead, at first sounds like the last of us but its NOT.
While the last of us had you escorting a teenage girl with a cure,
the walking dead has no backstory behind the disease, and instead of going for a "GRITTY, EDGY"
art style, it kinda reminds me of XIII, because of that games comic art style.
Now, at first this seems like a zombie action game... with heavy story, kinda like the last of us,
but you'd be HORRIBLY wrong. The walking dead is rather a point and click puzzle adventure game with zombies. You may scratch your heads and say "that sounds stupid", but I ensure you, you'd STILL be wrong. The puzzles are brilliant, and really make you see whats around you. The story and presentation are heavy as hell, but thats what makes this adventure so damn good. The story, starts slow, but as it progresses, you have to make certain choices, like wether you should save survivor a, or survivor b.
The ending had me in tears, and is probably one of the emotional ones I've seen by far.
I won't spoil anything, because this is one YOU should play YOURSELF, don't let lets plays ruin the game for you, and only use walkthroughs when stuck, thats my advice.
Now onto the port. Sometimes, when a game gets its chance onto other consoles, it may not turn out too well, but sometimes it will work. Now wether this an example of an good port or it, it's definitely a fine one.
It comes with ALL the episodes, and in case you've seen that other bundles have that, this one comes with the 400 Days expansion pack. The only real problem I have with the port is the "touchscreen mode".
The touchscreen mode just f*cks everything up for the game if you have it on. For starters, you get the good impression that you DON'T have to log the cursor around (not that that was bad or anything), then you realize that once on, you can ONLY use the touchscreen, which mucks up the visual art style, and makes moving your character 10 times harder than it should be. Now, with an iPhone, iPod, iPad, or any other phone-like device, it kinda worked, but that was because the iPhone and iPod have tiny screens, with the PS Vita's screen being so wide, it practically makes the mode of no use unless your fingers are tired of using the thumb sticks, but in that case TAKE A BREAK. The worst part: in order to even turn it on/off, you HAVE to, and I mean you HAVE to quit your game, so if your game hasn't autosaved in a while, and the touchscreen mode is biting you, your basically screwed.
Overall:
Actual Game
10/10
Pros:
+Amazing story/great cast
+The ending will have you in tears
+The puzzles are smart and work
+Hooray for morality choices that WORK!
Cons:
NONE
Overall,
PS Vita port,
9/10
Pros:
+Includes all the episodes...
+Plus 400 days if you want that
+It works...
Cons:
-...Just expect allot of freeze frames and loading screens
-The touchscreen mode is not that good
If you haven't played the walking dead yet, you're missing out on what will become a classic
one day.... unless your a 12 year old who sits inside playing Call Of Duty all day.

If you felt the PS3 controls were a little weird then the vita version is perfect! the game is awesome, there's no doubting that and if that's why you're looking at reviews then just get it. It's really good and it's one of those games that **** you into caring for the characters. If you're wondering about the controls, adding the touchscreen makes a game whose mechanics were at a solid 9 into a 10. Perfect.

In my opinion the best version of the game, although the graphics take a lil dip from the console/pc versions, and the loading of scenes is slower, this game works excellently as something to play on journeys or in bed, or anywhere where a book normally works too.

The Walking Dead on the Vita was an excellent experience. I enjoyed the story and was glad that I jumped into this after years of hearing about it. The decisions and dialog are great - I was often thinking about the game after I had put it down. Obviously the gameplay isn't a strong point - but the story and environment helps you overcome the short comings there. Some of the issues I had with the game stem from what seems to be limitations with the Vita hardware. There were points in the game that I died a few times because of major lag / response from the Vita. There was nothing I could do to combat a zombie fast enough to live through a situation and found myself having to play a spot a few times despite knowing what I had to do. There were also areas of bad slow down and framerate skipping - which typically doesn't bother me - but was bad enough to make me want to put it down from time to time. All in - this game would have been an 8 had I played it on PS3/4. Technical issues pulled it back a point.

Superb story with exceptional characters and intriguing relationships. This game should get a perfect 10 but the Vita version has significant technical problems. It looks just as good as other versions of the game, but it has lots of framerate issues and slowdowns/stuttering. It affects gameplay and takes away some of the fun and immersion (most of the times I die are as a result of these issues, which is frustrating).
Never tried the PS3 version, but I'm guessing it's better than this. My suggestion to you is to get it on a different system, but you should definitely buy it.
