Whew, I played through the first episode of The Walking Dead, the five episode adventure game series by Telltale. I won't spoil any of the story stuff since really, this game is ALL about the story. The game is actually a lot like Heavy Rain. I'm a big fan of The Walking Dead comics and the story here fits the series perfectly.
Graphics are good because of the nice art style and it even helps make the characters look more like something from a comic or cartoon than a movie or tv show. The game plays as an adventure game, collecting items and all, peppered with quick time events and gory zombie kills. The music helps set the mood too but there are some weird audio glitches. Nothing major though. The best sequence had us rescuing a major character from the comics. There were some cover based shenanigans going on that made the sequence very interesting.
The characters are cool, the decisions are interesting and I cannot wait to play the next episode! I don't really know what else to say without spoiling the story except that I'm really loving the game and that if you go into it expecting an interactive mature cartoon, you'll have a good time.
