Reviews are out, highest rating this game received that I’ve seen is 4/10 so far.

A Kotaku reviewer gave it a “Worst game I’ve played this year”… lol

I’ve played SI at a buddy’s place on Tuesday and more so yesterday, and this game is such a load of crap it’s not even worth discussing.

It’s understandable that a lot of people are trying to defend the game, because you’ve all wasted $50 on it and must justify the purchase in some way, shape or form.

This game is a damn fun zombie game, if you like playin left 4 dead or even zombie mode in COD then this game will top both. Graphics r not amazing but either are the graphics to games like a COD multiplayer. The game itself is played almost like a fallout but without as much puzzles n inventory. It’s more choice n what to carry n what not to carry, for your own safety n the safety of your group. If you like the show n u always say it would be interesting to be involved in a zombie apocalypse or any of those thoughts this is as real as its gonna get for now. You are on your own through each mini story/mission whether u choose to sneak through n risk it or leave your group members behind to watch the truck, u choose who u save n involve your story with or if it’s jus u n your bro. If u came on here to look at reviews n judge it, DO NOT! Because if you r a true fan n enjoy the whole mentality n mind trip of what a rush it would be to live in that world this is the game that’ll make you feel as involved as any. Really good job for rushing the game. If would have done it the right way this game could have been one of the greatest.

I finished this game in a about 10 hrs. Aside from the suspense of zombies chasing you. It might be the worst game I played for the ps3/playstation 1 and 2 for that matter in my life. The only plus about this game is the zombie killing. At least a arm comes off if you hit it with an axe. And atleast the pre-order key chain is cool. It did have me kept playing, but not worth 50 bucks.

I like how the moderators didnt approve my comment on the terrible reviews on this giant turd of a game! The Youtube reviews prove it! What is there to hide Drew Haworth // Creative Director, Terminal Reality?! Reason why it took so long to get reviews was to rip off the public by putting out this trite garbage

Forgot, first picture shown is entirely misleading for those wondering what it looks like.

Have not had much time with the game to judge everything about it except Graphics. They are dull. If it was intentional to be this way, I apologize.

I’d at least try the game out for those sitting on the fence. Make note & wait for a cheaper deal if the pice ain’t catchy.

Personally I like this game, Controls are good, graphics aren’t horrible 8/10, story is decent at best a lot of fetch tasks, and since it’s a prequel it doesn’t really have an ending I guess you would say.
Overall the game is a 7/10 for me and at the price point of 49.99 you can’t really go wrong, this game is fun just wish there was co-op, and of you go in expecting it to be anything like the teltale game adaptation of The walking dead your going to have a bad time…

Doesn’t look amazing, but still looks 100x more enjoyable than that overrated crap Telltale churned out that seems to tickle everyones taint besides my own. I’m sorry, but “Fisher Price: The Walking Dead” didn’t do it for me. Telltale should be ashamed of themselves, constantly taking other peoples ideas and making point and click turds out of them. If you’re gonna use “graphics” as an excuse to not develop a game engine, Telltale, how about hiring an entire cast of talented voice actors? And focusing on making the graphics dark and foreboding? Instead of cartoonish and childish? And how about making choices that matter? What a waste of time that crap was.

This game looks rather bland as well, but I had more fun watching the 20 minute play-through of Survival Instinct on Youtube than I did with Telltales bland mishmash of awkward conversation, QTEs and the insufferable Duck.

It is clear that Terminal Reality had a lot of vision on the game, and wanted to create something great for The Walking Dead fans. What I want to know is if Activision totally tashed this game because they didn’t really want to pay for it. I remember reading someplace that Terminal Reality asked for more time to work on this and they were told no due to them wanting the game out before the Season Finale. The game is not horrible it is just not the best it could be. Terminal Reality had a lot of good ideas it just seems they ran out of time to do them all. I really enjoyed the voice acting and holding true to the TV series. I am really disappointed in Activision on this (Like we could expect anything less out of them at this point)
