    This, dear readers, is art, pure and simple. This is what the video game medium allows us to do. This is cinematic gaming at its absolute best-a direct, personal, jarring, dark narrative. Savor it while you can, before the zombie apocalypse brings an end to all things.
  2. This is more interactive adventure than traditional 'game', and a brilliant example of the benefits of narrative-driven gaming experiences. With a cast we're becoming more and more invested in, and scenarios of increasing moral complexity, the end of the world is fast becoming one of our favourite places to be.

    A long road Ahead continues the work of maturity that developers are giving to the series. If you love comics or TV series is a must-buy.

  1. This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Gunfights, traitors, and insanty define this episode. The choices get alot harder as three characters you've known and loved (and one you REALLY wanted to strangle) are lost. One thing is for sure; things are not going to get any better. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game's going downhill since episode 2. While they say your choice matter, in fact, it does not. None of your actions really affects the gameplay, it only slightly affects dialogues you get. Also, killing most of the characters the player got attached to and replacing them with new ones does not do the game any good - the player's interest in the story dies along with those characters. The game has some bugs, as well, and while some bugs are just slightly annoying, other bugs just freezes the game. With all that being said, this episode not only the worst episode of all 3, it's mediocre game at best. Expand
  3. I agree with Skepticalguy90 and Lolomlas although I believe a 2 is a bit harsh. I give it a 4. The game was not as advertised, and the choices you make in the game change the dialogue only. Now, some things could come into play later, but it still is not enough to convince me that the game is tailored to how I play. Expand
