I love the story, but there almost is no gameplay. But it's a really great game!
I don't think I can play a game with as little gameplay and freedom as The Walking Dead appears to offer. Thats just the sort of gamer I am, I'll watch cinematics as long (and sometimes) boring as Metal Gear, but when that is all there are, with a few little swipes and questions here and there, I'd need to be in a sort of mood I've never been in. I'd have to be somewhere in between playing a game and watching a movie, and that is a place I've never been before; sitting there, swiping the screen and tapping rapidly to advance the plot. Maybe if I can try out the first one I can see the concept in its greatest form!?
Well, the ENTIRE first Season 1 episode is free.
And yes, what you played was about 1/4 of the episode. Unless they decided to greatly reduce the length from Season 1 to 2.
Download te first one and see if you like it, it gives you a better taste since your choices actually affect what's going on.
I can't find anything from the first season in the Vita store… looks like I'll have to try it for PS3 next time I get the chance.
It does look like with every season they plan on walking you through the basics in the first episode.
