Set in a modern day survival-horror universe, the co-operative gameplay of Left 4 Dead (L4D) casts four "Survivors" in an epic struggle against hordes of swarming zombies and terrifying "Boss Infected" mutants. Developed by Turtle Rock Studios and Valve, creators of the Counter-Strike and Half-Life games, the latest AI technology allows for multiplayer games of one to eight players.A new and highly virulent strain of the rabies virus emerges and spreads through the human population with frightening speed. The pandemic's victims become grotesquely disfigured widely violent psychopaths, attacking the uninfected on sight. As one of the "lucky" few apparently immune to the sickness, you, unfortunately, are also trapped in a city crawling with thousands of the bloodthirsty Infected. Alone, you're dead. But together with a handful of fellow survivors, you might just fight your way to safety.Players can play as a Survivor or as one of four types of Boss Infected, each of whom possess a unique mutant ability, such as a 50-foot tongue lasso or a giant belly full of explosive methane gas. The gameplay of L4D is set across four massive campaigns. The zombie population of each mission is choreographed by an AI Director that monitors the human players' actions and creates a unique and dramatic experience for them on the fly. |

Great game. Never the same experience twice and so far they haven't even loaded new map packs yet. Great buy. |

A Little Disapointed |
I was kind of disapointed in this game for two main reasons.
First, the CD you buy is only a key to download the game. It's kind of a pain. I like to uninstall and reinstall games as I need them and this makes it impossible. If I get virus and need to re-format I will loose the game. If I understand correctly, I will have to buy a new key. I also don't like the fact that I must have steam on my computer.
Secondly, the game is kinda repetative and lacking. There are only a handfull of weapons and only a handfull of zombie types. Even more disapointing is the lack of story and the repetitve nature of each level. "Run from A to B, wait for rescue, kill zombie army, get on escape veichle" I'd like to have more interaction with survivors, (there was none except for the guy in the church tower, and the other end of a radio).
Overall though, this is an entertaining game. |

valve is my best friend |
- so immersive... i found myself holding my breath whenever the hordes were alerted. this happens alot. they just pour out like water!
- who knew zombies could be so fun to kill. they crawl out of your surroundings like cockroaches and are found in every nook n cranny. they can climb in places you cannot (for a change). when they flood you'll yell out four letter words. its that overwhelming at times. by the end of the game you'll have killed between 1,200-2000 zombies among four players within 30-45 min.
- best co-op by far... that's just what it was made for. it's fun to play single player, but better than that is playing with others online, but better than that is finding people you like to kill zombies with. you'll find yourself talking, planning, help each other at the edge of death.
- this is the steam engine at it's best! visually this game has nothing to complain about(except on xbox). in combination with a dark room, your flashlight, and a splattered zombie via shotgun, this is a perfect screenshot. when you finish off a whole horde indoors, it's really a satisfying site in a creepy demented way.
- my girlfriend likes gaming, but she's addicted to this game. she says she hates zombie games cause they scare her. after 10 minutes she was hooked. i hear her screaming and laughing throughout the house, and making L4D friends when she plays. me and her raked up a total of 39.3 hours in the last 2 weeks. yeah, we like this game!!!
- i'd pay 150 bucks to have this much fun, man this is great! can't wait for future installments via download-able content :) |

COD 4 SHORT!!!! |
Me and my bro had such a blast playing this online with each other on a private server. Too many butt-holes on the public servers so steer clear of that unless you can fill out all four spots with friends.
Towards the end, it did start to feel a little repetitive. We played it on one below the hardest level which gave the game some longevity.
What would make this game great?
Well, for one...they need more boss type mobs. In all reality there are only two bosses...and three "sub-boss" types and thats it. Come on, use your imagination!!!!
Also, at first the "Movie" concept was cool but way too short. This would have been much better if it were one, long story line with an ultimate goal, say rescue...But to get there you uncover the source of the infection and have to fight some serious boss battles to move on. Formulaic? Yes...Tried and true? Yes.
In retrospect, I did have a ton of fun...in hindsight, I feel the developers lacked the imagination to make this game truly great.
With the success of this game, its easy to see that a sequel will be released. If it follows the same formula, I think I'll pass. In all honesty, for the price...Game packs should be released to compliment this short little ditty of a game. |

Zombie Apocolypse = AWESOME |
This game is awesome. Do not, if at all possible, buy this game for the XBox. You can only play 2 player split screen on the XBox as well, not 4 player which might be fun if they had it. PC graphics are prettier (if you can run it prettier mode), multiplayer is better, and all new content will be free.
That being said, this game is slick, well done, and really good. It promotes group work and staying together rather than one rambo style guy running around. The mood is dark and scary.
Playing with friends online is where it's at, co-op or versus. The problem with both of these modes are that unless you are with friends on your team, quite often you'll get paired with some douche nugget. You can all vote him off, but if you're with 2-3 douche nuggets, you might as well get the AI to play your cohorts.
Game is fun. I gave it only 4 stars though because as much fun as it is, it's the same thing over and over and over. You want to survive to make it to the safe house, kill zombies, help others, etc. It's fun, but apparently not fun enough for me to stop playing Dead Space to come back to it. If you love FPS games to death though, I'd say it's probably 5 stars, and the multiplayer is great. Just avoid those douche nuggets. |
