Stealthing, hiding, scavenging, rescuing survivors, and managing the group's actions...finally all in a zombie survival game. Yes, it's a budget title but it shows hope for the future games.

Description:
The Walking Dead video game takes the undead and brings them out of the AMC Emmy award-winning TV show and into console gaming systems in a new, terrifying way. Terminal Reality’s first-person action game will allow players to assume the role of the mysterious, crossbow-wielding survivor Daryl Dixon on an unforgiving quest to the supposed safety of Atlanta. The iconic walkers will relentlessly hunt down players like their television counterparts using a combination of sight, sound, and smell. As Daryl, players will need to tread carefully throughout each new area they explore. Once discovered, it doesn’t take much to attract an unstoppable horde of undead walkers, so every threat needs to be assessed, and every situation analyzed. No place is truly safe for Daryl as he makes his way through the Georgia countryside, alongside his overbearing brother Merle, in this new, post-apocalyptic world.

I was one of the first who bashed the game when I first heard its announcement, its release date, the crappy teaser trailer and the leaked footage. I had no intention of buying this game bc it just looked very low budget.. but when I saw amazon was selling it for like 35 bucks, I figured "eh what the heck, might get some form of enjoyment out of it". Well ups just dropped it off an hour ago, I just completed the first level. It took me longer than the youtube video i saw bc I was exploring everything and ended up finding an optional survivor and another guy who gave me ammo for food which was very well needed for my main objective a little later. This game can be tense if you are dealing with more than one walker, especially a massive mob I attracted by mistake..

a litle later, I approached a car and it asked if I wanted to push it over to go through the path and figured why do i want to do that, so i jumped on the car to walk over it to the path and the car alarm went off and I attracted a massive mob. The couple mobs in the area approached and a few more broke down a nearby fence, before you know it, I was trapped on top of the car, luckily they cant climb the car so i was safe for the moment and gave me time to think of an exit strategy. This is where I am lucky I got that extra ammo so I can shoot off a few walkers to make a small path through the mob to try and escape the rest of the herd, seriously this game is pretty awesome, everyone who says its trash dont have an open mind of lower budget games and think everything should look and play like the top 3 shooters which is halo, call of duty and gears of war.

If anyone is on the fence with this game, If you are looking to fight old fashioned zombies and not super powered mutated zombies with super speed, super agility, spitting acid and whatever else that left 4 dead, resident evil, dead island and zombi u made up, just plain regular walker zombies, then this game is for you. Just dont go in expecting the most amazing graphics in the world. The graphics are average, just average, it is not bad but not great either. the gameplay is very fun, I love the group management system, I was forced to let a survivor go bc I had no room for him to sit in my car, so I had to choose who was worth keeping to continue my journey, if you like zombie games you will love this if you gave it a real chance and not nitpick every little thing.

So it's worth buying you think?

Rent. Dead Island is still better (and the sequel will be out within weeks; see video below), but more people will get this because it's The Walking Dead related. Main thing is that the game isn't a typical FPS at all. There's group management and a few other elements of survival other zombie games completely omit or downplay. Rent it just to experience TWD universe from Darryl's perspective and to play a different style zombie game that isn't all about killing zombies. I got the game free on PC.

i like it... not in love yet, but its good... you have to look around thoroughly you might miss out on some stuff... its pretty challenging... once the zombies see you they come so each pretty much run or deal with it... i swear the computer either spawns zombies or activates corpses whenever you shoot...
i swear idk how they creep up behind me

I couldn't watch the gameplay video, the two dudes playing were walking past shit right in front of them. It does look like a rent or a bargin bin buy though.

agree with the bold highlights.

i don't like the controls during melee and you can clear (and secure) a room only to find that 1 or more walkers have re-populated the same area seconds later.

it IS challenging and provides a way for the user to actively change the level of play during the game (instead of opting for a single level at the beginning).

i also like that they haven't included (yet) zombies with super powers. these are just plain walkers (so far)
