The Walking Dead Episode Two: Starved for Help Review

Jickle is back, and still very much alive -- brains intact -- despite the undead's persistence to devour him as soon as unhumanely possible.

This is good news for us, because we needed him to document his survival in the form of a review that we decided to call The Walking Dead Episode Two: Starved for Help.

As the second chapter of Telltale's five-part series based on Robert Kirkman’s acclaimed comic series, The Walking Dead Episode Two: Starved for Help is still not without its faults, but certainly fares better than the first outing.

Not really interested in The Walking Dead, but it's good to see Telltale pull things back on track after the average Back to the Future and panned Jurassic Park series. I haven't enjoyed their stuff since the last season of Sam n Max, and if they fuck up the King's Quest reboot so help me god...

I'm really enjoying this game so far. $25 and it's been money well spent already!

The tension and pacing is great. Buy it if you haven't already!!

Yeah, its awesome, played Episode 2 last night and absolutely loved it. It does the whole "moral choices" thing better than any other game I think I've played.

If it's better than the first one that's a pretty good rap. The first one was great.

I liked this ep much better than the first. It seemed a little rushed though, in my opinion. Like minor interactions stuttered awkwardly, but it was really not much a problem. I didn't notice the bug in this review because I saved the other person, so that must definitely be annoying for some. However, in my game, one of the characters in this episode gives me shit for doing something back in episode 1 when in fact I did the opposite of what they said... So it could use some fine tuning, to say the least.

But the story and whatnot, really interesting and worth the $25!

Yeah

Spoiler:
Kenny seems to hate me now in this episode because I didn't stick up for his son when Larry was trying to throw him out back in Episode 1, but I'm pretty sure I did. Either way, Kenny hates me much more now after Episode 2.


The thing that stuck with me, is I did something towards the end of episode 2 that made the little girl I was protecting think less of me and it made me feel like such an asshole, even though it was really kinda the right thing to do at the time. Pretty rare for a game to actually evoke emotions like that and make you actually think about the choices you made and care about what the other characters think of you, even Mass Effect didn't really achieve that goal very consistently.

Khel - I made that same decision. I love that the game gets me to a point of thinking where doing something so morally questionable seems like the right thing to do. As a player, I find myself putting Clementine first, no matter the cost.

Bought it, played it, loved it!

Good recommendation. It's also awesome that licensed computer games have gotten to such a quality now that my entry point into the franchise can be through a game.

It's good they didn't submit it for classification, this game uses violence really effectively! Kenny's use of the salt lick in Ep 2 was shocking. Like.... holy shit!

Khel - same character hates me, I think it's because even though I mostly sided with them, I went neutral on a few options and they didn't like that.

Fucking Duck. Little 'tard.

Totally hanging out for the next ep :D

***SPOILERS***
Hrmm, spoiler tags have stopped working, so don't read my post if you don't want spoilers I guess.



Yeah, the salt lick bit was unexpected, I can see why they never bothered submitting it for classification too.

I think I had almost won Kenny back over to my side, but then when he wanted to kill Larry I told him no and tried to save his life. I was genuinely shocked when Kenny splattered his head and killed him anyway, and then I went off at him and called him a cold blooded murderer and he pretty much hates me now.
