Review The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct (Wii U)
Walking Dud
Zombies are impossible to avoid. Not that the living dead are walking among us and causing havoc, but the media has been absolutely permeated by them. As evidence, we have The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct; the Wii U’s second game about zombies – known in-game as “walkers” – works as the prequel to a television show about...

Video Eight Reasons to Avoid The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct
Activision's shameful cash-in is a bit pants
There's an old saying that goes "just because you can, doesn't mean you should." Those words of wisdom have never been more poignant, more relevant or more applicable than when discussing the act of purchasing, or even considering purchasing, The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct. Sure, new Wii U games are...
Talking Point The Perils and Positives of a Packed Release Schedule
Room for no more
We're all more than a little familiar with video game droughts by now. Until a few years ago, it was tradition to suffer a lack of software in the summer, surviving only on the ever-faithful backlog and the revitalising elixir provided by E3 info dumps. It's common in the months following a console launch too: we're sure you...

About The Game
Think you're tough enough to survive a horde of undead walkers?
Based on the award-winning TV series, the do-whatever-you-need-to-survive first-person action game allows you to assume the role of the mysterious, crossbow-wielding survivor Daryl Dixon, alongside his overbearing brother Merle, on a haunting and unforgiving quest to make their way to the supposed safety of Atlanta.
The iconic walkers will relentlessly hunt you down using a combination of sight, sound and smell. As Daryl, you'll need to tread carefully throughout each new area that you explore. Once discovered, it doesn't take much to attract an unstoppable horde of undead walkers, so every threat needs to be assessed, and every situation analysed.
Choose between whether to stay and fight while risking a gruesome death or using stealth to avoid the undead. No place is truly safe for Daryl as he makes his way through the Georgia countryside in this new, post-apocalyptic world.
Resources are scarce and scattered in The Walking Dead, and you'll have to not only ration supplies, but carefully consider food, medical needs, ammunition, and other goods as survival is based upon wit and intellect more so than simple, sheer skill. In order to endure this constant state of danger, you will have to do all you can to silence the noises they make and avoid detection.

looking forward.... even though i dont have a wii u... sniff
Gonnas get mes a wii u!
Got me excited for a moment, thinking this was a port of the PC/360/ps3 game of "The Walking Dead".
Instead, it's an FPS by activision that no doubt will be mediocre at best. I'm not buying it anyway. Shame they're trying to cash in on the popularity caused by the other "The Walking Dead" game.
I am glad I decided not to get zombie u now that the walking dead is coming out this game looks great
i played it i dont like it
Sept, 23 2024: Going to play this game. I really liked ZombU, and since we never got a ZombiU2, this is a more American-ized version of London...so. (I know that a Zombi game like Zombi U doesn't compare to Resident Evil and other zombie games, but it doesn't hurt to experience some games were they kinda went back to the basics of making a game on a small budget.)
