   Excellent sequel. Great, moving story, for me better than one from tv series. I dont care, if my decisions doesnt make much difference, IExcellent sequel. Great, moving story, for me better than one from tv series. I dont care, if my decisions doesnt make much difference, I intended to play this once anyway. Besides Clem is a girl not a god, to me its more realistic if my decisions arent as impactfull as some of You would like to be. Its not perfect but we rarely have so good story in a game.… Expand

After finishing season one I was unsure the game needed a second instalment but I am so glad they decided to continue the series. The story perfectly fits in with the first game's and continues it flawlessly. This game truly has something for everyone and holds it's place in my top 10 favourite games.… Expand

   Every action has a reaction; Newton's third law of motion so happens to also apply to The Walking Dead: Season Two. This game is differentEvery action has a reaction; Newton's third law of motion so happens to also apply to The Walking Dead: Season Two. This game is different from most traditional games, it is a point and click game. Every choice has an outcome based on your actions; every action has a reaction. Most characters in this game are likable, and all of them are easy to relate to. Along the way, you will wish for the death of some characters, and that is exactly what the developers had in mind. The character development is phenomenal, and they are affected by your actions. The world is so dynamic you'll forget it's not real life. The characters are great, the story is great, the plot is great. The only thing that is not great is the lack of anything other than walking in-between talking scenes. Sure every once in a while there's an event in which you shoot walkers, but other than that it feels less of a game and more of a movie in which you control the outcome. And yes, this time there is more than one ending. If you don't mind playing a movie in which you control the outcome, then buy this game. If you are somebody who hates cutscenes and wants to just be able to explore on your own without having to play a linear story, you might want to skip this one. This game receives a 7/10, as it is, in my eyes, a great game.… Expand

   The Walking Dead Season Two never reaches the same highs as the first season did, and the valleys are a little lower, but such is the plightThe Walking Dead Season Two never reaches the same highs as the first season did, and the valleys are a little lower, but such is the plight of a sequel to an amazing game.
   
   For those of you not familiar with The Walking Dead Season One, or really Telltale Games games in general, The Walking Dead Season Two is an elaborate, digital choose your own adventure set in the Walking Dead universe. The story revolves around Clem, from the first game, as she tries to survive on her own.
   
   The game's presentation is the same as the first. Hand drawn looking graphics and character models that don't quite move right. The graphics are good enough, but you're not playing the game for the graphics. The voice acting is excellent, just like the first, with every character acted out extremely well from beginning to end.
   
   The story and choices are where the game shines. The game follows Clem from the first game as she tries to survive alongside another group of characters. Unlike the first game you're not a leader in the group as much as a small actor in it, trying to do what's best according to you during events that are out of your control. The characters are enjoyable to interact with and the story itself is interesting. While the game plays in a fairly similar manner to the first one in terms of surviving another day, the game's choices are less enjoyable. Rather than in season one where I felt like I was making choice to try to make situations better or work toward something, I felt like many of my choices in season two were trying to grasp at what was being lost and choosing what to let go and what to cling to. While it may fit with the feel of hopelessness in the Walking Dead, it loses sight of the fact that games are meant to be fun, and making the player helpless isn't fun. It went beyond challenging to stressful.
   
   That said, the game is still engrossing. I started it early one Saturday morning when I knew I wasn't going out that day after injuring my foot and played the entire game that day finishing it up in the evening. I liked playing through it and enjoyed the story, but it just wasn't as fun as season one.
   
   One knock that wasn't really present in season one is that in season two the game falls into lulls of not really doing anything. Whether it be doing manual labor or walking through snowy woods there were times when playing through the game that I felt as if I would fall asleep because I was doing something so mundane for so long. This is where the valleys are lower.
   
   As with the first due to the short length and limited replayability I would recommend this game as a rent, not buy. If you want to buy I would wait for inevitable cheap, used copies to pop up.… Expand

   Oh my goodness, this game edged a very close place in my heart. “The Walking Dead: Season Two” is a game made by Telltale Games (The sameOh my goodness, this game edged a very close place in my heart. “The Walking Dead: Season Two” is a game made by Telltale Games (The same company that made Borderlands), and released in December of 2013. It is a sequel to The Walking Dead: Season One and the DLC 400 Days. The game is made up of five long episodes that take about an hour to an hour and a half to complete. In this game, you play as the young girl Clementine as she moves on from the tragic end to her previous group. This game is on the Playstation and Xbox (both platforms) and is around 15-20 dollars for where you look.
   The great thing about this game is how it’s set up. The premise of the game is making decisions and seeing how it affects the others around you. You can build up multiple personas, and there’s not really any that are correct. You can be distant and rude, or can be everyone’s friend. But those decisions can cause people to not trust you, and end up getting killed because of it. While there may be some decisions that might not make sense, like talking about food, most of your decisions affect the game in some way.
   After choosing whether or not you kill your father-like figure Lee after he’s bitten, Clementine leaves everyone except for her two friends Christa and Omid. Clem gets jumped by a girl who ends up killing Omid trying to save Clem, and Christa and her leave after killing the girl. After being chased in the woods, Clem finally becomes alone being separated from Christa. You wander through them and find a dog. Your first big decision is whether to feed it or not. I chose to feed it, and the dog bites you and you have to kill it. You fall unconscious and two guys named Luke and Pete find you. They notice you’ve been bitten and think a walker bit you. You are brought to their group’s base and are made to sleep in a shed in case you become a walker. But as you prove not, the group starts to like you. All the characters are interesting and you talk to them all at some point, like pregnant Rebecca, young innocent Sarah, and kind Luke. There are way more characters but they come at different times. You make relationships and find villains along the way like a man named Carver who’s in search of vengeance. I can’t say much about the story though, since it’s really what you make of it.
   The game itself is a masterpiece. I think it’s probably one of the first games I’ve played that made me (almost) cry. There are some really sad scenes, mainly of people dying that you liked. I really enjoy the art style to this game since it looks like a cartoon but still realistic. The soundtrack is also pretty good, not the best though. The best thing about this game though is just the story. There aren’t really any bugs in this game, which to me is really shocking. Each time I play this game, I can always try something new. But for me, the best part of the game is after proving the dog bit you, on Playstation you get a trophy saying, “STILL. NOT. BITTEN.”
   In total, this game is NOT for children. The cartoony look shouldn’t fool you. The violence is very extreme at times, like having to stitch your own wound, and hearing Clem cry out in pain, or watching a dog suffer after being impaled. If you’re younger and can take the gruesome content, at least have an adult supervise you. But besides that this, in a sense billions of choices choosing game to me is perfect.… Expand
