The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct
The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct is a do-whatever-you-need-to-survive first-person action game that brings the deep, character-driven world of AMC's Emmy®Award-winning TV series onto console gaming systems and the PC. The game follows the mysterious, crossbow-wielding survivor Daryl Dixon, brought to life by TV series star Norman Reedus, alongside his overbearing brother Merle, voiced by Michael Rooker, on a haunting, unforgiving journey across the Georgia countryside. Players will need to tread carefully on this desperate quest, scrounging for food, water, and ammunition to survive against nightmares both living and undead.

Being a HUGE fan of the walking dead and all of its adaptations, I was extremely excited when i first discovered this was coming out. There is alot of great concepts but the overall game feels very rushed. its not so much about killing walkers as it is about sneaking around them. If the patched a few big issues it would be worthbuying for the story experiance.
1. Walkers shouldnt take 3-5 FULL power swing of a hammer. or Stabs to the face to die. its ridiculous.
2. Walkers literally spawn out of nowhere. I once closed a door with a window, straffed left and then back right and just from a second of being out of vision everything respawned. Or checkign a empty hallway with a closed door behind you and all of a sudden your mauled from behind.
3. Levels are Dry. they use the same farmohouse everytime yyou "salvage" supplies.
otherwise the story aspect and the voice work is awesome. they clearly just rushed the game to be out after season 3 to make the cash. hopefully patches soon otherwise complete trash. Get DEAD ISLAND.

Not bad but could have been a little bit better know why?
things you guys should know about the pros & cons? lets start shall we
things you guys should know about the pros & cons? lets start shall we
Pros.
1.The sound is good, the walkers sounds is very good
2.the graphics are good too but there is a con. scroll down to see the cons
3.the weapons, some is loud, some is silent even the crossbow very silent, great weapon easy usable but limited usage of bolts which is con but pick them right back up
4.gameplay-the storyline on & off, scavenging LOTS of scavenging & walkers oh the walkers, for players who likes stealth games? example (metal gear solid) this is the game for you! every time go a around a corner? a walker jumps on you out of nowhere even they "playing dead"

Cons
1.Graphics-now if anyone has played call of duty:MW3 single player & expecting the walking dead:survival instinct to have the same graphics? well your wrong it's not the same graphic engine it's a little less than or nowhere near mw3 single player, even its the mw3 & TWD:SI has the same company (activision blizzard)
2.in the game requires a lot of scavenging which this game is about.
3.weapons is good but I don't know it good to have weapons but every time you shoot a gun more walkers comes out which is fine because that's how it is
& 4.the price $50 seems a little too much for it, I got mine $40 new & it was worth the price, so guys get the TWD toward a smaller price like $20-$30.

This game is perfect for: hardcore gamers
Sometimes being truthful can be hurtful. This game is one that I wanted to love so badly but alas I must settle for liking it. I am one of the few who has placed many hours into the game and I am finishing up another of my multiple playthroughs. There are some criticisms that can be understood. For instance, graphically the game is lacking but to be honest I hate the graphics in other games that get rave reviews. Graphics alone are not enough to make me dislike a game. Gameplay feels weighty. The guns seem a little questionable when aiming on occasion. There is nothing that makes me not want to play it. AI is adequate for the zombies being portrayed. I do not want hyper-intelligent zombies for this universe. It would not fit. Voice acting is superb from the two main stars and good from others. Sound could have been tweaked for better directional cues. The story is decent enough. I was not expecting a Mass Effect level story. I love the branching paths but I wish that more personality was given to the NPCs. Also, there are times when a choice must be made to leave someone behind and there are only a few instances when those choices have consequences. Sending out your passengers is a great idea that was not fully fleshed out with survivors often costing more in health than they bring back in loot. I personally love the scavenging missions in the different areas. Sure, there are a limited number of locations that get reused but I don't mind it. Would I like more? Of course, but that is because I enjoy this game for what it is and I would love to see a sequel that has had more time to develop and is set in the time between Season 2 and 3 while scavenging. It could be about Rick and the group struggling to survive against a small enemy (not the Governor yet) and then you can also choose to play as Merle (I love that character) in his early days with Woodbury. In closing, I would and have recommended this game to many. Those that have played it with an open mind have enjoyed it. Not a game of the year but I do not think that it deserved the bashing from others.

This game really touched on some good ideas and concepts relating to survival in terms of picking up/dropping survivors based upon skill-set, the need for supplies, deciding what routes to take based upon gas usage and the likely hood of finding more supplies, but the overall product is a big FAIL.
*The graphics aren't the worse but they're pretty bad in some aspects, especially the environment surfaces
*Although the survival ideas are really cool, they barely give you any options other then basic functions which made it extremely boring and worthless
*A.I is the worse I've ever seen in a modern game, the zombies look and operate terribly, and it's a crapshoot whether or not they come after you despite being right in front of them
*The overall game is stagnant and gets extremely boring after 2-3 levels, you do the same thing over, and over, and over, and over, again and again.
DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY! I'm a die-hard "The Walking Dead" fan and this is just a disgrace and should've never even been released...

The game is horrible. You can scope out your area there will be 1-2 zombies. move up and kill one and hte second hits you the next thing you know another 5 zombies apear magicaly when there wasnt any within a 50 meter radious before. controll play is clunky. graphics are poor for the system. This game should have been 20 not 50.

"The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct" delivers what fans were expecting, sortove. As I played, I expierenced many jumpscares while peeking around corners and as a zombie herd jogs at you. The intense feeling of zombies running at you is well... intense! But, I felt the enemy AI was un-polished. There were all sorts of bugs. And the enemy design was lazy as well, I remember fighting at least 7 different zombies. That's it. The graphics feel outdated to 2007. Daryl also dropped to many cheesie one liners, but a few of them made me grin. Zombies sound like a choking cat, even when a knife goes through their chin. The "Ah-Chh" *slat, slit* was used too much, but critics, i'm afraid, are right. I don't like this game, it's only 49.99$, so I should've expected less. The game felt rushed, the level design was lazy, and the enemy AI was junk. I can't reccomend this to anyone, but if you like stabbing zombies, do it, beat it, keep your recipt, and do within a week, so you can trade it back in for our money back. Overall, a bad game.
