The iconic walkers will relentlessly hunt down players like their television counterparts, using a combination of sight, sound and smell.

"None of its elements is done well enough. The combat system is primitive and slapdash, there’s practically just one enemy type with several skins and the level design based on simple greyish blocks is trivial. [CD-Action 06/2013, p.68]"

"What’s frustrating is that Terminal Reality, whether you believe it or not, had laid the foundations for an extraordinary game. WD:SI includes all the activities that a decent zombie survival game should have. [May 2013]"

I thoroughly enjoyed the game... and VERY RARELY does a single player game grab my attention. I have played through The Walking Dead: SurvivalI thoroughly enjoyed the game... and VERY RARELY does a single player game grab my attention. I have played through The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct about 5 times now in attempts to save all the necessary survivors. EVERY time I have played through the game.. I have experienced different content (locations) I was not exposed to before...

I felt the AI was aptly responsive and worked very well. This is not the Left 4 Dead series... getting hit means soemthing... Stealth is somewhat required.

Sure, there could be more graphics tweaks, or coop, or pvp... but the game was just released... who knows what they may have in store later. Until then I found the game stimulating and entertaining all around. I also experienced no glitches or bugs.

At the end of the day.. this game was created for hardcore Walking Dead fans... which I am and I love the game.

The game could be salvaged from a "marketing" standpoint quickly by releasing more meaty content for the game.. and not charging the players for it.… Expand

Não sei o motivo desse odio todo, eu particularmente gostei bastante desse jogo.
Não é um AAA, mas é legalzinho.

Zapewne przed rozpoczęciem przygody z najnowszą odsłoną Żywych trupów (jeśli w ogóle się na to odważycie) nasuną się Wam skojarzenia zZapewne przed rozpoczęciem przygody z najnowszą odsłoną Żywych trupów (jeśli w ogóle się na to odważycie) nasuną się Wam skojarzenia z zeszłoroczną grą od Teltalle Games – The Walking Dead. Zebrała ona świetne recenzje i była jedną z najlepszych produkcji wydanych w 2012 roku. Od razu dodam więc, że obydwie gry, poza nazwą oczywiście – nie mają ze sobą nic wspólnego. The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct jest tylko marną próbą zarobienia na fanach serialu i tematyki zombie. Jedynym plusem jest obecność postaci znanych z serialu oraz to, że możemy usłyszeć dialogi przez nich czytane. Fakt ten sprawił, że nie wyłączyłem gry już po pierwszych 15 minutach… tylko trochę później ;-) Dobrze, że nie miałem co do tej produkcji większych oczekiwań, bo srodze bym się zawiódł. Gracie na własną odpowiedzialność!

How did I complete this... This I'm sorry to say rubbish. The combat the level design it was rubbish I'm sorry but it's true. The gameplayHow did I complete this... This I'm sorry to say rubbish. The combat the level design it was rubbish I'm sorry but it's true. The gameplay sucked and the graphics looked okay but I could only run it on low. What the heck? I'm sorry but I have to give this a low score. Also i don't have multiplayer. I don't even know if there is any but there might be. But I lost half textures from the game to. Reason it did not download them. Why?

Overall
-Bad combat
-Okay Graphics
-Did not install correctly

Story and characters:none found in here.There's no weight to any of the characters and the story is laughable.After telltales master peaceStory and characters:none found in here.There's no weight to any of the characters and the story is laughable.After telltales master peace this game proves how badly things can go in this segment.
Gameplay:horrible.Its very repetitive and basic.It requires no skill no timing,nothing to be quite frank.Its just mouse button mashing over and over again.Weapons variety is poor and all the melee weapons do same damage also it takes 4 hits to kill a zombie no matter where you hit it.Also gameplay is very linear and map design isn't impressive at all.Also FOV is very narrow and there's no way for you to change it.
Graphics:yeh,they are bad.But the thing is that its a game from activision it's not an indie game.It looks like the game is made out of clay.Everyone expects good graphics from such a huge company but be prepared to be disappointed.This game looks ugly,it's obvious that they didn't even try to make this game look good.
Sounds:i guess its OK at best.Dialogues feel forced and since they are poorly written voice-over makes them sound awkward.
Bottom line:an obvious cash in on the franchise.Game is rushed out,it has nothing unique in it,nothing worth while.… Expand
