GAME REVIEW: The Walking Dead - Episode 2 (M)

I’m going to try to not give away any spoilers, also some of the stuff that happened in the game was because of the choices I made in the game. So it’s not going to be exactly the same for someone else, anyway, here’s the review.

Episode 2 was a little different than the first episode, while the first one had quite a lot of puzzles to do, this one was more emotional with more tough decisions to decide.

It starts three months later after the last game with the group almost completely out of food. They introduce a new character named Mark, unfortunately they don’t really introduce him, he just shows up there and you find out more about him as the game goes on.

When you get back to the motel, you have to decide who’s going to get the last four bits of food left. Believe it or not, this is probably the easiest decision you have to make in the game.

The game was really good, however there were a few things that annoyed me. There would be some bits where you have to push the ‘A’ button as fast as you can and I kept dying because I couldn’t push the button fast enough. Also, during the first part of the game, I’d hear the characters talking but the screen would freeze for a second and then keep going.

Telltale Games certainly knows how to make a story very interesting, although it didn’t really start until you’re half-way through the game. Once it starts though, I didn’t want to put the controller down. It was a lot darker than the first episode, but I still had a lot of fun with it.

Just like the last episode, I’d recommend it to anyone who loves point-and-click games. Just like the last one, it is very short, I finished it in about three hours. So if you want a long game, you might want to wait for the entirety of the game to be released. But I think it’s worth the 4 dollars for what’s in the game.
