Game Description

Left 4 Dead is a FPS from Valve, creators of the Counter-Strike and Half-Life games, and it aims to redefine the co-operative genre as those titles did for multiplayer and single player action games. L4D is set in a modern day survival-horror universe, and the co-operative gameplay casts four "Survivors" in an epic struggle against hordes of swarming zombies and terrifying "Boss Infected" mutants. Valve's next-generation A.I. technology, allows for games of 1 to 8 players. 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 takes place across four massive campaigns. The "zombie" population of each mission is choreographed by an "A.I. Director" that monitors the human players' actions and creates a unique and dramatic experience for them on the fly.

THIS GAME IS AWESOME

Left 4 Dead is the best zombie game of all time! I personally love it more than Dead Rising and Resident Evil 5 combined. Sure playing single player sucks because of useless AI. Now that the sequal is coming out everyone who didn't get a chance to play this game can get it cheap. Sadly if you don't have X-box live, you shouldnt get this, its best played with a full team of players, the bots will drive you insane!

Left 4 Dead

I love this game so much! First, it's just plain fun and addictive, with insane 4-8 player zombie killing action! It also has AMAZING A.I. (some might say a little too amazing) ,and very tight controls! The only downside is it's lack of some content, but I'm sure Xbox Live will have more and more downloads for it.

Left in shelf

Lets start out with the basics. Left 4 dead was a highly anticipated game from the creators of half life. It did great and was alot of fun. But every game has problems. For one. The storyline is basically, your a group of 4 survivors (Hence the name left 4 dead), now go blow up some zombies! The characters are more average people then other zombie games which is (i guess) an upside. Resident evils bigger than life people made the game less realistic than it could have been, and Dead rising's Frank west, i believe, was photographer that dosnt fit in with the game all that well. But the gameplay gets repetitive after a while and eventually dies down into the stack of games that you havnt played in months. Another downside is the fact that they give certain audio whenever a "Special" type of zombie is around. Completely eliminating the surprise of a zombie popping out of nowhere. And the worst thing, ONLINE PLAY SUCKS!!!! 4 people are survivors, as many as you want are zombies, and voice is disabled so you cant communicate. Another downfall of the game is the fact that the place that your fighting zombies in is dark the whole time, and it makes it tough to see the zombies. Overall, the time that you play it that doesnt get boring is a thrill ride and doent stop until the boring stop at the station. You get off, and forget you were on the ride.
