Moving interactive comic

I can still remember the times when we faced Episode playing very skeptical ... and even sacked in the days when interactive movies for the PC usually lousy reviews from the magazines and the player base. Telltale combines these two prejudices and meets in conjunction with the enthralling atmosphere of Robert Kirkman's "The Walking Dead" and the wonderful character drawing with most adventure fans bull's-eye. It tells the story of Lee, a university teacher, the middle of the zombie apocalypse Clementine, an 8 year old girl who encountered her and accepts. Together with a changing group of other survivors they want to the coast and there escaped with a boat out of the misery. On their way, they experience various adventures in an empty motel, a not entirely abandoned farm and eventually they reach Savannah, where they hope their salvation. They meet here and there on known characters from the comics and the TV series, although this only minor supporting roles to play.

The DLC in the "Game of the Year" contained "400 Days" serves as a transition to the second season, which is the time of this review just in its fourth episode. We present some of there newly emerging characters and their history tells what makes some of their motives somewhat understandable in Season 2.
Technically true about: Knowing a "Telltale" -Adventure, you know them all. Although the visual style of "The Walking Dead" very closely aligned to typical comic drawings, a relationship to the older "right" Adventures of Telltale is quite noticeable, but he is probably best compared with the episode Game "Jurassic Park". Even "the wolf among us" suggests the same line. The gameplay, however, has no longer particularly much to do with classic point and click adventure games, because the ways of interacting with the game world is very limited and the game is to a manageable number of QuickTime Events (= scenes in which one particular under time pressure buttons one or more times to press) peppered. Who fears now, it would be boring not being able to do as usual the whole Rätselei and the game would suffer, let him be assured: The story is so strong and told a tear with atmospherically and emotionally such that one so forgets about everything. Rarely have I "mitgelitten" with characters of a game such as the protagonist of "The Walking Dead". The attempt to transfer the qualities of genius sometimes comic book series and the implementation is thus "succeeded" only be described as. The excellent English dubbing does the rest, unfortunately, the German translation texts, the possible responses of the player character, partly arg unfavorable and in some cases also mistranslated. This has often a big impact on the gameplay, but who appreciate a hundred percent favored by the creators experience the pick to help the English subtitles or waivers, with appropriate level of English, entirely on this.

The price of just 20 Euros (in so far not to the 5 Euro FSK 18 shipping fee factored ...) goes for about 12-15 hours of gameplay perfectly okay. On average it takes 2-3 hours for an episode, "400 Days" kicks with a little less on Beech and can not reach the emotional depth of the actual season. There is also the soundtrack, which certainly is a nice gimmick for collectors. So what remains to give the full number of stars other than the experience?
