Telltale’s The Walking Dead Season 2 Review (Xbox 360)
Like any great TV show or episodic story-telling, playing the first season of Telltale’s The Walking Dead is an absolute must in order to get the full experience from season 2. After such high praise and critical-acclaim for the previous 6 episodes, expectations were high for the next 5 episodes. If you’re unfamiliar with the franchise or the types of games Telltale has been pumping out, The Walking Dead is a point-and-click, choice driven game. It’s more of an interactive story than a video game, but the choices you make will affect the story and put it in different paths. You can play an episode and compare notes to a friend who has played the same episode and realize you two have experienced a totally different part of the story — and that’s really cool.
Season 2 revolves around Clementine who played as a supporting role in the first season and she is a totally transformed person this time around. She has matured greatly, but the game reminds you she’s still a kid with moments like awkward exposure to sexual and drug/alcohol related topics. It really humanizes her and you feel her pain as she is forced to grow faster in this dark and hallow world.
Blood-pumping, anxiety-inducing and haunting. I can go on and on about the many emotions brought upon me throughout season 2, because it was such a trip. Each episode put Clementine and the group of zombie walker survivors in more dire situations where the stakes became bigger and decision making tougher. By the end, I was struggling even behind the safety of my video game controller to make a choice that would determine the fate of the on-screen characters who I have become attached to emotionally.

Scenarios include choosing who to save and who to leave behind in a walker attack, solving problems and raising morale within the group, searching for food and supplies, acquiring important tools, and navigating through the herd amidst an oncoming walker breach.”
Locations featured in The Walking Dead Pinball include Clementine’s Treehouse, St. John’s Dairy Farm, Travelier Motel, Bell Tower, Train & Level Crossing, the RV and more. Lee, Clementine and a ton of zombies will be rendered in 3D on the table for various events, as seen in the trailer above. Original lines were recorded by the cast including Dave Fennoy (Lee) and Melissa Hutchison (Clementine).
Since The Walking Dead Pinball is DLC you will need to have Pinball FX 2 or Zen Pinball 2 depending on what platform you have. Pinball FX 2 is on Steam and Xbox, while Zen Pinball 2 is on Playstation and Android. Both games are free to download and will allow you to try out every table featured in the game.

While PC, Mac, Xbox 360, and Xbox One will be able to download the table tomorrow. Android and iOS devices will follow the next day on August 28th.
