Brilliant season - now DRM free!

!!! NOTE - I haven't played the GOG version just yet, but finished the telltale-site version several times !!! For those of you not familiar with the whole thing: The story takes place in the walking dead universe (our world after a zombie-apocalypse). This time you play as Clementine - an 8-10 year old girl - trying to get by, getting involved in the life of other survivors. The game is basically a classic, inventory based adventure game, with MUCH simplified puzzles and a LOT of emphasis on the different choices you can make. The game is mainly an interactive, a character driven drama and is painstakingly kept in moral grayness - there are no "clear" or "good" decisions here. If you haven't played the first season, you should definitely start with that, followed by 400 days, and then top it off with this installment. You see, all your choices from those are registered here, changing some aspects of your playthrough. Some minor flaws: now it is already quite apparent, that your choices doesn't make THAT much of a difference for the most parts, and despite the brilliant writing, this does take away from the urgency of many situations. Also, the main character is somewhat hit and miss. While playing as a small child certainly amps up the tension and the feel of dread, I still think Lee, from the first season was a better defined character. On the DRM. I bought this game directly from the Telltale site when it came out, and it was broken. Broken because of the game's connectivity with the telltale servers was just unstable and messy. It just threw me out of the program, didn't realise my install as a registered version (I basically had to HACK my registry to fix it), in the end I had to erase ALL data regarding the games, deleting all my saves. For you see, telltale servers don't keep your save data. It's only for polls and DRM. Its dumb. So, hopefully THAT kind of thing is removed now which will make the game a flawless 5 star software.

A Disappointing Sequel

I loved Season 1, and was super excited to play Season 2. I was very disappointed. There was a noticeable drop in the quality of writing. Whereas Season 1 was complex and poignant, Season 2 was just confused and frustrating. Season 1 could be quite upsetting, but always seemed to have a narrative purpose; Season 2 was just arbitrarily terrible all the time. That said, I still played the entire thing, and would probably at least try a Season 3 (albeit with quite a bit of trepidation, and in the hope that it would make up for season 2).

Great sequel to a great game

I've seen a lot of people say that The Walking Dead: Season Two just doesn't measure up to the same great gameplay experience as TWD:S1. I will tell you right now, it's not the same experience. It's not a LESSER experience, mind you. Just different. The artwork has a slightly different feel to it, and yes, there are places where the choices you make don't quite feel like they impact the game as much as the first game. But that doesn't make them any less difficult in choosing. I did notice a difference in how the interface works, but it's close enough to the original that it won't throw you off too much. The biggest difference is that you're playing as Clementine from Season One, instead of Lee, and it does change the way you look at some things. As with Season One, the voice acting is pretty much perfect with a couple of exceptions, and the story is well-written. I read some reviews that claimed it felt like you had less of a main goal than before, but I don't feel that it did, especially if you pay attention to Christa's dialogue early on in the first episode. All in all, it's a very well done sequel, and I enjoyed every bit of it. Great game. If you love The Walking Dead, whether the show or the comics, you should get this.

Season 2, very good.

A friend insisted on gifting this to me by Steam, even though he knew I wasn`t a Steam fan, so I tried it, expecting very little. The game really surprised me. So I waited for Season 2 on GOG. 1 took you through a zombie catastrophie scenario where society has fallen apart. A man, called Lee finds a little 8 year old girl, Clementine, and together they face real hardships and trials in this horror. You have to make some very tough tough choices with very real conseqeunces. I`m black (even with the goatee), like Lee, with a mixed race daughter, just like Clementine, so this really hit me. The writing and how it`s all handled is very realistic and adult- Considering a little kid is involved that`s some damn good writing. Season 2 takes you through more of the chaos except now you`re doing things from an 11 year old Clementine`s point of view. Again it`s very well done with choices and options that have some very hard consequences. Pros: Play season 1 before 2 as the 1`s choices will carry through to 2`s game. Some sad emotional situations with the rare happy. Controls work fine with a mouse and keyboard. You sometimes get what it feels like to be a kid such as when Clemntine went to talk to the adults who were talking about sex and everyone goes quiet. Or when she tells someone to do something and they say, "Adults talking!" Cons: Game refuses to start with ANY other controller except Mouse and keyboard. Unplug everything else if you want this game to work. The writing isn`t quite as good or logical as Season 1. An example, [beware, small Spoiler]: Clementine gets savagely bitten by a dog. She does well to cope with that, but then she gets a needle and thread and sutures up the arm by herself?? Sure, she`s been hardened by what she`s seen, but no way would an 11 year old be able to stick needles in her own arm and continue sewing it up. No f***ing way! [End small Spolier] However, I recommend Season 1 and this season 2- On a sale.

I thought i have choice,but....

no matter what i chose ,people got killed eventually, so what's the point of choosing? And the storyline is not good as season one. I cried like a baby when Lee faced his fate in s01, but in s02, i didn't feel much for anybody. there was only one time i dropped my tears when Lee showing up in Clam's dream, and promised her that he will never leave her alone. OMG, my tears, i'm crying again.
