    The Walking Dead Episode 2 is something that begs to be talked about once it's finished, and not beforehand, which makes writing this review a little challenging. If the first episode didn't convince you enough that the series is worth continuing, than I'm not sure that episode 2 really does much differently to make you think otherwise.

    Even with a few short comings every now and then, Episode 2: Starved for Help manages to maintain the same qualities that made the first episode so brilliant as well as drive the story onward into other areas of not only survival, but human nature as well.

    Overall, Episode 2 is worth playing and I enjoyed my time with it. I did find Episode 1 to be more intense overall and better paced, but Episode 2 is certainly good enough to warrant playing it and to have you looking forward to Episode 3.

    Each episode so far has had its good parts and bad parts- but each time, it's something different. It's been inconsistent, and I don't think it can keep my interest if it doesn't settle down and find a groove for itself. The lack of focus on Lee/Clementine is only forgiven because of the extra focus on a good story twist at the end- but I really hope they find a balance in the future, which would truly make the game compelling on a level that Telltale hasn't done before. As of now, it still feels like a work in progress.

    Even the game is interactive, with a spectacular plot, stay divided in five parts, yeah, the game was divide, and it's not a new game style, because Asura's Wrath is a single game with 18 episodes together.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After playing the first epsiode, and loving it, i was having trouble beliving that the first episode could be topped. I was wrong. Altho i got my suspicions about a certain food related issue very early, i was still suprised about the execution of it all. Episode 2 is another great entry and we can only hope they set quality before anything else (like they amply demonstrated with the delays of ep2)… Expand

    I could almost bracket a mark for Telltale's belligerent tardiness, but they're forgiven on account of such a stellar addition to their newest game series. Episode one was, surprising, well executed and left me starving for more; and while a little late to the party, episode two pushes the positives of the first even further. More complicated choices, more emotion and a bigger sense of 'this is your life' make this episode more powerful than the first. Yes, it has it's hiccups and no I don't understand why there was such a long delay but Starved for Help is an excellent follow up to episode one and was enough to convince me that purchasing a ticket to the season pass was more than worth the sixteen quid admission tag. Bring on Episode three, and please don't take so long this time!… Expand

    My personal favorite episode of the four that came out so far in the series. Filled with sick irony and crucial decision making, Starved for Help brings out the best in the creative side of the walking dead showing just how original the game can be.. From talking down a shooter at gun point, to deciding the fate of disturbed brothers, the game continues to keep you locked in at the edge of your seat more in tuned with what's going on in the story line than any show on T.V. could hope to do.… Expand
