Tried the demo on PS3 and to be honest with you... I didn't like it :( I'm not sure if it's just the console controls but this was a b***h to play :D Got killed because of lousy controls... And graphic-wise this was also a letdown, I personally didn't like the way this is drawn and especially the distant textures were very ugly.

The textures weren't that ugly on PC when playing on max. The controls were very easy on the PC, but I can't imagine playing it on a console. The best thing I liked about the game was the storyline, and since you got the demo, you just got an overview about the game mechanics, thats all.
I dunno, maybe because I'm a zombies-games fan? It was really appealing and enjoyable to me. And the textures weren't that bad :D

*POSSIBLE SPOILER WARNING*
Yeah the demo had only the part when Lee finds Clementine and escapes with the red pickup :) That zombie on the house killed me because you have to use the right stick to move the crosshair and the right buttons to select an action when the crosshair is on the correct position... Very tricky :D

Oh, well I've seen walkthroughs and people seemed to be having no problem with the controls. I dunno, maybe you'll get used to it? And btw, that part is really short *VERY MINOR SPOILER* then you got to a farm, then a drug store, then a pharmacy, then a motel. Every place is swarmed with zombies, you'll have to kill them silently or shoot them and prepare for endless hordes :D

Not really, there is no "inventory" you just grab something that you'll probably need 2 minutes later. Ex: You grab a candy bar, you give it to the little girl, you find a screwdriver, you stab a zombie in the head and lose it. The game works as a story that you can change it's endings by your decisions, it's not an action game :D

I tottally missed you question :D :D You basically have to press on the object or npc and there are options, one is talk, and one is examine and the last is the interact. You choose interact to give an object to the NPC (ex: Candy bar, batteries...etc) and when a zombie is attacking, you just hover your mouse to his face, close your eyes and click. Same with the xbox controller :D

un-undead? But that makes him dead since "un" cancels "un". So why not just say a dead zombie is "dead"?

Well, I'm not a huge fan of zombie games. I've tried some of them and to be honest, I'm a bit (just a bit) scared of them, but the game looks pretty good and a great review :) Looks really nice ;)

Thanks alot! :D
I dunno why people hate zombies, they are amaaazing. When I was 4 years old, I used to pretend I'm a zombie and scare my grandma to death. When I was 8 I participated in a play as a zombie and when I was 13 I won the best story in our school and it was about zombies (It's called "Freezing in hell").
Oh, and it's nice admitting that you're scarred of zombies, nothing to be ashamed of xD

The survival gets boring after a while, I like zombies for the story mode. It's what it's all about.

Oh, so basically there's this huge horror Series that could have this huge horror action game but all you do is make a few choices, which can lead to different outcomes, while watching some comic 'personages' dying? Sounds interesting.

You ARE right, the game could have been better. But these "few" choices made the game phenomenal. The amount of action I had in these 3 hours of gameplay made me jump here so I would write a review on how awesome the game is. Oh, and it's not really horror, the cartoonish feel takes the horror away most of the time :)
Just try it, it's amazing.
