The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct

Gameplay is dull and buggy, there’s very little attempt at a plot, the characters are unlikeable, and bar a couple of interesting mechanics, everything feels rushed and dated. The likenesses and voices are accurate, with Norman Reedus and Michael Rooker reprising their roles as Daryl and Merle respectively, but that isn’t enough to rescue this abomination from the shallow grave of wretchedness that it has dug for itself.

The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct fails on almost every front. Whether it be the dated graphics, lacking gameplay, or shoddy level design, this game does little (if anything) right. While super-fans of the TV series may be able to tolerate the insurmountable number of flaws here, anyone else will walk away thoroughly disappointed.
