it fails to fix some of the major issues." It may be cheating but I often found myself pausing the game to take some time and think about my decisions and how they would effect the story, something I didn't do until a few episodes into season one. Telltale has done a great job making these decisions, which more often than not don't have a single appealing choice enjoyable. There aren't many simple good/bad choices here, and good portions of them are going to task your morality and decision making skills. If you played any of the previous Walking Dead, you'll know the drill here - a point and click style adventure that asks you to make some pretty daring choices. Major props to the writers for being able to introduce five new stories and keeping them not only interesting but also likeable at the same time. You're getting a taste of each character, a snippet of their life and Telltale hopes that's going to be enough to bring you back for a whole second season. Each story takes about twenty minutes to complete, and you won't get as connected with any of the characters as you're going to want to - but that's part of the point and in essence, part of the beauty. While season 1 focused on a single group of survivors and their life after the zombie apocalypse, 400 Days tells five unique and separate stories that at first glance don't have much to do with each other at all. ".you won't get as connected with any of the characters." Be aware though, this one should only be for diehards of the series, as not much has been changed at all. Meant as a bridge between season one and the upcoming second season, Telltale has crafted a unique standalone tale that hits all the right marks and plays to its strengths well. Season 1 of Telltale's take on the Walking Dead (reviewed here) was met with critical acclaim and overshadowed the release of that other Walking Dead Game, but success is a funny thing and runs out quickly. Last year, a funny thing happened on the way to the zombie apocalypse - someone slipped a bit of emotion in with the undead slaying. Telltale hasn't fixed the few issues from the original and the game still feels strange with a controller as opposed to a mouse and keyboard but that shouldn't stop you from checking it out regardless of your platform. While not offering as many choices as season 1, 400 Days proves that Telltale understands what makes this series work by forcing the player to make difficult choices that don't have a moral right or wrong. Some animations have been smoothed and the voice acting suffices.īest for those dedicated fans who played through all of season one and are anxiously awaiting more - 400 Days gives fans just that, more of what they love with a few teases for what's to come For the most part, 400 Days looks, feels and sounds an awful lot like the much acclaimed season 1 of Telltale's The Walking Dead proper.
