About
Life is Strange is an episodic adventure game in the same veil as Telltale Games' titles. The game stars Maxine Caufield who, after a series of vivid visualizations of a tornado destroying her home of Arcadia Bay, gains the ability to reverse time. She uses the power firsthand to stop the murder of childhood friend Chloe Price. Together, Chloe and Max work side by side to find a way to prevent the oncoming storm from approaching and solving the mystery of both Max's powers and Arcadia Bay.
Gameplay works about the same as any other modern adventure game. Explore, look around and interact with the cast and environment, and choices made in the game have an effect on the outcome of each episode and the overall story.

Quick and dirty OT. Please spoiler your stuff.
Yep, played the first two on 360 and I'm awaiting the third one to release tomorrow. I love, love love the hell out of it. It does a lot of things Telltale has fumbled on with TWD S2 and GoT a lot better. It has a better presentation, the story's enjoyable, the choices feel weighty (especially season 2) and the sound direction is top notch.
My only gripe is that the dialogue is too much 'europeans' trying to guess on what america teenagers sound like.' Gets cringeworthy.
I love the cast, and next to Deadly Premonition it's one of the best 'Twin Peaks' esque titles out right now.
