This game is definitely story based, don't get me wrong there are some seriously good zombie killing moments but this is a story driven game, but only on your choices through conversations. You start out in a cop car on your way to jail for somebodies murder and then out of nowhere, zombies and its exciting and Pacing. Now on the conversation again , it is possible to lie to people in the game but that can sometimes get you in trouble because people not only remeber what you say but also note your actions such as giving a kid some food or saving someone over another person which effects how people react to you. Now as Walking Dead game there are suspensful moments, such as when choosing whom to save, but also there is a scene in game where you have to help Glenn( yes, the guy from the comic and TV show) save some women trapped in a motel by zombies and Its kind of creepy because you have to stealth your self across the area and gather stuff to kill zombies and you cant use a charcters gun because it makes to much noise, so its very tense and epic, but also if you peer from cover to long the zombies can see you, this is not like other zombie games, you only use a gun one, other than that your going to use tatics to distract zombies. This is one of the great Fan Based games, Like Back to the future, Batman Arkham city, Lord of the ring war in the North, and others, I give this game 10/10, for using your choices to effect the game, some good puzzles,  great moments of terror, and some cool moments from the few people in the comics, the only hard thing is the combat due to the combat interface that looks like dual pads and you have to put it over places to attack.
