Game Review: The Walking Dead

Hey there Drake's Reviews reader this is Rudy A.K.A The Drunken Munkey. While Drake is busy with research on other games and getting those prizes ready for our Facebook followers here's the address if you haven't subscribed to our page yet (https://www.facebook.com/DrakesReviews)I am here to give you a review of The Walking Dead game that is now out for PS3, Xbox 360, PC, MAC and for iPhone and iPad. The game is split up into episodes and sadly only 2 episodes out of 5 are available at the moment. I'm not going to say much about the story but the game has the essential factors that make The Walking Dead awesome. In the game you play as Lee Everett a College Professor that's been arrested and is on his way to jail. The game is not your typical run and gun zombie game, it is actually based on choices as you can see in the trailer and be wary Drake's Reviews readers each choice has a consequence. Each choice that you take changes the final outcome of the game. There's a moment in the game were you must make a choice between saving a child or saving a man pinned under a tractor, who would you save or save? This is a creative way to incite replaying the game because there's always that "what if?" factor. The game is lacking in some areas though, the expressions characters have on their faces when something bad or awesome happens are pretty unemotional, from kids not even frowning at a zombie eating a person or getting it's head blown off to adults having a surprised face for about a second and then going back to normal as if nothing had happened. At the end of the game you also get an indicator on how your choices compare to the rest of the world a global ranking if you will. Telltale games is a company known for building games around the choice factor and they are good at what they do and they have released information saying they will be working on a season 2 of the game. While a game of this type may not be everyone's cup of tea it is actually a pretty fun game, the graphics are cartoony but the game is actually good, although I have always been expecting the zombie apocalypse so I'm ready for it, are you? And don't forget my zombie hunting number 1 tip. Two in the chest and one in the head!
