<\/a><\/p>\nThe game currently has a Metascore of 36 on both Xbox 360 and PS3, with the Wii U and PC versions not having enough scores to aggregate, although it\u2019s unlikely it\u2019ll be any better.<\/p>\n
Over on Gamerankings, the game currently has 39.17% on Xbox 360, with 40% on PS3.<\/p>\n
That means that the game now joins the likes of Ice Age: Continental Drift, Aliens: Colonial Marines, Sniper Ghost Warrior 2, Omerta: City of Gangsters, and Fist of the North Star: Ken\u2019s Rage 2 as some of the worst 2013 has to offer.<\/p>\n
Check out what the critics are saying about The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct:<\/p>\n
Game Informer:<\/a> 5\/10<\/h3>\n\u201cOutside of these interesting narrative nuggets, Survival Instinct sinks its infected teeth into monotony and carelessly chews away at it to deliver a repetitious experience that lets a few cool ideas go to waste. This is an apocalypse you don\u2019t want to survive.\u201d<\/p>\n
IGN: <\/a>4.2\/10<\/h3>\n\u201cIt\u2019s a half-baked attempt at a game that can be fun in the occasional spooky part, but ends up under-delivering in every way.\u201d<\/p>\n
Polygon:<\/a> 3\/10<\/h3>\n\u201cThe tide has begun to turn for licensed games thanks to great efforts like those from Telltale, Rocksteady’s Batman franchise and others. The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct is the exact sort of lazy, cheap cash-grab that gave licensed games a bad name in the first place. To put a slightly less nostalgic twist on an old cliche: They don’t make ’em like this anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nDestructoid: <\/a>2\/10<\/h3>\n\u201cSurvival Instinct clearly isn’t finished, and has no business expecting money from any paying customer. It’s the kind of hurried, jury-rigged game that risks dealing damage to a property — an especially sour note considering all the excellent work achieved by Telltale’s The Walking Dead.\u201d<\/p>\n
EGM:<\/a> 1.5\/10<\/h3>\n\u201cThough a functional game at the most basic level, The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct is an absolute disaster from start to finish. It feels like Terminal Reality duct-taped several different half-finished projects together and assumed the brand tie-in would move units. It\u2019s an absolute disgrace\u2014both to the TV show it\u2019s based on and videogames as a whole.\u201d<\/p>\n

We also get a pearler of a review from Metacritic user Grimdandelo, who is less-than-happy with his purchase.<\/p>\n
Grimdandelo (Metacritic user): 0\/10<\/h3>\n
\u201cThis polished piece of crap locked up on me within 5 minutes of gameplay. The textures are hideous and I wish I had never pre-ordered it. I tried to contact customer support but the developers were rude and offered no help. So far it has locked up on me ten times in 2 hours. I’m returning this.\u201d<\/p>\n
Another user, ECBF-Vegitate, gave the game 8\/10 and calls Survival Instinct \u201ckind of a cheap Dead Island\u201d. So if you\u2019re looking for a \u201ckind of a cheap Dead Island\u201d, maybe Survival Instinct is just for you. Alternatively, you can just completely ignore ECBF-Vegitate\u2019s review.<\/p>\n
