Apparently Activision believes there's no such thing as bad publicity, and they're tired of EA hogging the spotlight, because new release The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct" is, as my friend's kid would say, "Pee Yoo Stinky".
Here's some collected quotes I've come across:
Both the zombie apocalypse and the game's utter badness are readily apparent within the first five minutes. (Kotaku)
(The tutorial) is a crap tutorial even among other crap tutorials, and a precursor to all the crap to come. (Kotaku)
I'm rapidly coming to the conclusion that this game is a tragedy in several respects. (@Totalbiscuit 's Review)
Oh dear god, this game looks worse than Half Life 2. I mean honestly if your textures look like they're from almost 10 years ago, you did something really wrong.(@Totalbiscuit's Review)
But in the end this is an outdated, very generic, very boring and often
very ugly zombie action that certainly fails to live up to the big name
it carries. (4players.de review)
It's sad, but it's probably to be expected. Big name conversions from movies/TV don't often turn out too well, and Activision and ground breaking are two phrases you'll never see put together.
