    The alternate control method would be good as an option so hopefully they put it in, I tend to split members quite a bit though so would prefer default, but can see the use for it.

    Cool, brought!

    Really is a great game, love the fact you can rotate and scale the camera angles, really atmospheric too! :D

    Where does it tell you what the bonus objectives are for each chapter?

    Easily. Don't think it's GotY material, but the fact that it's based on the main characters, as opposed to Telltale's (still excellent) series, makes it a personal iOS favorite for me. It's a great, albeit simple, WD companion.

    And of course, new episode tonight. :D

    I think we have the best of both worlds.

    This game relies on action as the telltales was to story and we get both on iOS. I might like this though more cause the characters from the comics are in the game plus the look and feel of the comic. I still say the walking dead(telltale) is GOTY due to its elements.

    Yep I'm loving it. Don't mind if you pay for more IAPs. Think the games great, love the way you can zoom out and spin the world about. Looks great

    I cleared space and grabbed this. Awesome game but totally agree with this and others about switching the controls. When you double click for one person they quickly move. Holding down for the group is not only a pain and uncomfortable, but as mentioned, much slower as well. Fix this and it'll play a hell of a lot better IMO. Don't think it's nitpicking. It would just make the action a lot easier and keep the pace frantic.

    Other than that, really enjoying this one.

    On ipod touch 5 its ####ing perfect. Once they fix group controls it will be beyond perfect. In other news, ipod touch 5 os way better than i thought it would be, and a perfect voip phone even with the slower processor.

    Finished episode 1 over the weekend - great but very easy missions could do with larger maps and more variety, but all in all a very good game.

    I will be buying the expansion packs when they come out if they offer new gameplay elements.

    Awesome game. Though anyone kind of annoyed the level selection doesn't tell you if you finished both sub objectives or not? Or if you unlocked everything per level? Would have been nice so I could know hich levels to replay.

    Also on the iPad with the bigger screen, they could have put all characters info on the top so we could know the health/weapons of all the players at once or select what what weapon we want for each character so much easier and smoother.. And keeping your finger to move all gets annoying. Would have been much smoother with one tap to move one character, double tap to move everyone.

    Other than those issues, great game and thank god the IAP is really unneeded
