Xbox 360 owners who got retail copies of The Walking Dead are reporting a variety of issues with the game, including freezes and stuttering that make the game, which relies on a variety of quick time events, almost unplayable.

The Walking Dead came out as a downloadable game across a variety of platforms, from the PC, PS3, or Xbox 360 to the iOS.

Now, after getting a retail bundle with all five episodes, players are reporting serious issues on the Xbox 360.

According to many users on the forum of developer Telltale Games, freezes and stuttering affect the game and make it simply unplayable.

Others report that, once they select to start Episode 2, the game simply replays Episode 1.

As of yet, Telltale hasn't revealed any response to these issues, so expect to hear something official in the future.

Got this game for Christmas and tried it out a few days later with huge stuttering and freezing issues throughout the 1 hour that I played it. Very disappointed that the game was released with such bugs. The xbox slim I have is fairly new and has a 4 GB harddrive. I hope this is resolved soon.

Horrible game. I am a huge walking dead fan, and it could have been an awesome game, but it simply doesn't work. Like others have said it is completely unplayable. Glitches at every action sequence make it impossible to progress. My first and last purchase ever from telltale games!

Just bought this game today for my son who is a huge fan just like us and the game does NOT work! It freezes and you end up getting stuck in scenes but yet you can still hear the game playing. NEVER buying a telltale game again!!!
