The only complaint I had about this game was that it would lag in most action scenes. I don't know if that was just specific to me or not but it was pretty bad. Other than that, the game was absolutely amazing and I would definitely recommend it to anyone.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great game - Don't play it on the Vita, the framerate breaks the game. Play on PC or a console and it's great!
Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2014

This is a difficult Game to review for several reasons. First, I can't give it 1 star because the game itself is actually quite good. It's not a "game" in the traditional sense of the word, this is a Choose Your Own Adventure type game in that it's a linear story and you're simply along for the ride. At various points of the game you have the ability to make critical decisions that change the course of the story and results in a different outcome (to some degree). It's not open world, there's no real "inventory" or item usage etc. This is not a bad thing, it's simply meant to explain the type of experience you can expect from this.
The story is great, it's the heart and soul of the game which is saying something since most modern games are gameplay driven rather than story driven i.e. Call Of Duty et al. The story is good enough to make you want to keep playing straight through without a break. I WANTED to keep playing but I had to force myself to take breaks because I wanted to make the game last longer.

Second, I can't give it five stars for the simple fact that it has not been sufficiently optimized for the Vita. When the time comes to make decisions or respond to on-screen prompts in the game, which happens very frequently, there is a finite amount of time to make the decision before a default reaction triggers. Sometimes you only have a second or two to respond or make a decision, other times you have maybe 7 or 8 seconds, but the point is you have to make decisions quickly. The problem is that since it's not optimized sufficiently for the Vita, the framerate is so bad that I can't even see the on-screen prompts or react in time to even make a decision. You'll see a scenario, then it will freeze for a few seconds while the sound continues to play, then the video will almost instantaneously catch up to the audio and skip the decision screen all together. The only reason I know I had skipped passed a decision is because I'll see a single frame of the decision screen, maybe half a second, before it moves on. It's not enough time to even read the information let alone make the decision and press the appropriate button. There are dozens of extremely frustrating situations when this happens and every time it did it almost made me throw my Vita across the room. The whole point of the game is to make your own decisions to follow the course of the story YOU WANT TO FOLLOW, and when it takes that away from you because of a crappy framerate it becomes almost unbearable.

I've played The Walking Dead series from Telltale and they are the same type of game, but I played them on the PC. They were fantastic! This game was great too, but don't play it on the Vita, play it on a more powerful system that can handle scene transitions and cell shading better.

TL;DR - Great game, don't play it on the Vita, Play it on the PC or a console. Vita frame rate is terrible and ruins the game.

I think it was better than the walking dead. the story line is more toad fantasy. you don’t know what to make of it at first(that is why its so fun to play) it is easy to play so people who has a hard time getting to the ENDS of games will have a vary good chance of winning.

I hope they make more game like these!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Not a game for everyone but great story telling.
Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2016

The only real cons are that is that not like a regular game where alot of it is watching/story telling. The other is that it some times does have frame rate issues loading slow at times and not responding which is annoying.

Putting that aside its a great game that plays out like a tv series. Every chapters gives some answers only to be drawn in at end and find bigger questions leading to next chapter. As a story, plot, voice acting, even graphic are all top notch that makes it a memorable ride. Game mechanics different and interactive enough to have some involvement in game but nothing mind blowing. replay sounds like it could be high but honestly not as much, choices make a differences but your mostly going to end up same place with same plot. I wouldn't pay a high price maybe half but not going to find many games or even tv shows/movies that can drawn you in a well written an compelling story

5.0 out of 5 stars The best Telltale game made so far.

The best Telltale game made so far. The Wolf Among Us is a amazing game based on the Vertigo comics series Fables. A Wolf Among us functions as a prequel to the comic set in the year 1986 in a place where fairytales live in New York called Fabletown the player assumes the role of Bigby Wolf who enforces Fabletown when an unexpected murder happens then the story begins and unfolds amazingly with typical Telltale choices we come to expect from there games.The vita controls are great for this game and i highly recommend it to anyone the only issue i with the game is the occasional framerate drop but its does no take away from my enjoyment of this amazing game.

The psvita version certainly has issues such as slowdown, some lengthy loading and towards the end of the game some details and textures don't always load in which can break immersion but because this game is so good in terms of storytelling, character portral and intelligent modern point and click adventure gameplay, The wolf among us is smart, adult and truly unique recommend for those looking for an interactive story

4.0 out of 5 stars 雰囲気はヘビーレインと龍が如くを組み合わせた感じ。
Reviewed in Japan on August 11, 2015

世界観に好かれて購入しました。
やはりVITA版なのか、時々処理落ちが起こります。
しかし、それもわずかなので気にならない程度です。
QTEはヘビーレインと比べてミニゲーム性を強めです。ただ、QTEに失敗するとゲームオーバーです。ヘビーレインやBEYONDみたいにプレイヤーの選択(行動)によって登場人物の生死が分かれるというシーンはあまりない感じですね。
ストーリーを楽しむタイプなのでハードルは高いですが、字幕をONにすれば単語を読むだけで話の内容が分かります。
まだ日本人プレイヤーが非常に少ないですが、ぜひ洋ゲーファンならプレイしてほしいなと思いました。
まだ、Chapter１をクリアしたばかりですが、レビューしました。
拙くてすみません。
