   Honestly, if this doesn't deserve an almost perfect review, then I don't know what does. The story is literally incredible. Every 5 minutes something you completely don't expect happens. Everything is right. There's so much to write about the game, but simply put... it has to be the best I've ever played. If you expect to play this episode over two, maybe three days, it's not gonna happen. You're going to be glued to the seat until the very end. The only thing that stopped me from giving it 10/10 is the fact that it's so short. I easily could've been playing this for 6 hours non stop. Great overall.… Expand

   Is it possible to review episodic games on an episode by episode basis? I don't think so. No one is going to play this game without having played the previous ones. But that also means that if you've played the previous episodes, you know what the game is about and how it plays. So maybe it is possible. I'm confused. If you've played the previous games and enjoyed them, you'll probably like this one. If you haven't played this series before then what are you doing reading this review? Now lets try to review this specific episode, without spoilers. Ummm... O.K. That's not going to happen. It boils down to this. You're going to make decisions. Some will be tough. You'll become more/less attached to some characters and maybe even meet some new people, or not. If you're already into the series, I probably don't need to tell you what to do (buy it). If you're new to it, go read reviews for episode one. And in case your too lazy to do that, here's a summary. The Walking Dead videogame is your basic point and click style adventure that saw its heyday back in the late 80's and 90's. You wont be collecting "collectibles"(a plague on modern gaming) or shooting lots of zombies in the head. You're going to be exploring/searching, gathering info, and making split-second decisions. The decision making is actually one of the most important aspects. Unlike most games, your response will be timed and wont allow for you to think too hard or refer to a strategy guide. There's no going back. Decisions are final and you must live with the consequences. A great series. I just wish I didn't have to wait so long between episodes. Just imagine if they could release these episodes on a schedule like a TV show.… Expand

   The numerous bugs and glitches through out ruin the episode quite a bit, Some are even game breaking. The story isn't as good as the previous episode but plenty of action through out keeps things interesting. A few annoying cheap deaths along the way as well. It would have been a lot better if there weren't so many bugs and glitches, Which were incredibly annoying to deal with.… Expand

   I really wanted to like this game because it`s definitely different. But a handful of glitches in a three hours episode (including a severe one which leads to a number of re-starts from the last saving point) killed my sympathy - plus the fact, that you can`t change the storyline with the decisions you make. All you get at the end are slightly different dialogues. Will think twice if I want to spend additional money and time into the next episodes.… Expand
