Update for the full game:
Update for the full game: After finally following Bigby and Snow White trough all five episodes, i can happily confirm, that Telltale did once again a wonderful job in catching the atmosphere and even more importantly the characters of the comic. You get sucked into the world of Fables, where well known Fable figures have to live in the human world, after escaping their home dimension, and you try as Sherriff Bigby Wolf (aka Big Bad Wolf) to not only solve a series of strange murders but also battle against your inner demons. For fans of the comic it offers a very interesting pre-story to where the series begins and you meet and get to know some characters, which were only shortly in the comics. The graphics style fits the shrill world of Fables and the voice acting is once again nearly without flaw. Gameplay wise it is like the walking dead, more of an interactive movie than a true adventure, but it is done very well. Last but not least the music also fits perfectly.. from the well done intro with Bigby wandering through town up to the whole game, the "Film Noir" atmosphere is present everywhere. As in any good of these detecive/Noir stories, it get´s rather dark and the borders between good and evil are easily shifted.

Did you like "The Walking Dead" by the same studio?
Did you like "The Walking Dead" by the same studio? This game is for you. Do you like mysteries, violent noir fiction, detectives and their atmoshere? This game is for you. It does not have much to offer in terms of gameplay - being rather simple point and click detective in the core - but the visual design of this game is so beautiful (I have to say - this game has the best "comic" style cellshading application I've seen in games so far), music so soothing and alluring, characters and story so captivating that you will find yourself on a cliffhanger at the end of the first episode in no time, hungry for continuation. There is little chance that Telltale will screw this one up, so you may as well buy it now. Or you can wait until all the episodes are out and play it in one go.

One of the best story games in Steam
One of the best story games in Steam. It was so good my friends sat around the computer watching me play it. It was like watching a really good movie except you are playing it. The story is so well done that you cannot help but to be engrossed in it. The visuals are amazing if you like a comic books which I do!! Some games have that cheesy voice acting but this game was top notch. It had just the right amount of everything for everybody. Script, score ... the whole shabang! INCREDIBLE!! You will be missing out on one fine game if you have not played it. Wicked!!
