A great game based off Robert Kirkman's Walking Dead comic.

User Rating: 8.5 | The Walking Dead: Episode 1 - A New Day PC
By dahaoleboy69 | Review Date:
The Walking Dead is one of my favorite TV shows and comic series. I was awaiting this game to come out, but my mindset was a little skeptical on the control scheme. When I started to play, it worked out great.

Gameplay:
8/10

The controls are great and responsive, too bad controlling Lee is a bit clumsy. It's a bit cumbersome to wander around different locations. But the rest of the game is great. Shooting in the game has a normal, over the shoulder view, giving the player an easier time to blast a zombie's head off. Conversations are excellently written and voice acted, and swearing comes very often, like in the comics.
And, the game is based off the Walking Dead comic, not the TV show, so don't get confused.


Graphics:
9/10

Imagine a mixture of Borderlands with Robert Kirkman's art style. The graphics are great, and being an artist I love to see the drawing like graphics is awesome.


Pros:

Story, it is based off the comic series, voice acting and graphics

Cons:

Short for a game and moving is cumbersome and sloppy.


Overall:
8.5/10

The Walking Dead game was gave me five hours of fun and story. Can't wait for the delayed sequel.

    I'm using this to review the entire first "season" (5 episodes) of The Walking Dead, as there doesn't seem to be a way to review the whole story under one header. While I'm still not a fan of chaptered games, or even co... Read Full Review
