Left 4 Dead

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.

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.

Reviewed 4 you

Left 4 dead...left 4 dead...left 4 dead. No im not copying Sid Shuman but left 4 dead was all that i could think about after playing it. This game is great at keeping you busy and great at keeping the fun up. The gameplay is simply amazing! When your handed a pistol or shotgun or machine gun or any other gun that the game has the first thought in your head is...let's go kill some zombie bastards. The game shines in almost every way accept for the story but that's only a minor inconsistency considering the game is just so much damn fun. Let's start off with the character's, you play as one of four lead characters. You can choose to play as either Bill, Louis, Francis or Zoey. None of which are terribly interesting but they all have some level of interest that will really narrow down your pick in character's my favorite character is francis. The attention to detail in the game is awsome. For example if you set off a car alarm zombie's are going to rush to your location and "swarm" you. The amount of zombies on screen is also quite awsome (think a little bit less than dead rising). The graphics are also great. I don't want to spoil the enemies for you so i'll only list three 1. THE SMOKER: The smoker is a zombie that seems to have had a recent nikoteen addiction which results in it consantly coughing. another cool feature about the smoker is that it has a gene simmons like tongue that grabs you and pulls you to your demise. 2. THE BOOMER: This morbidly obese monstosity spuse out a green liquid that attracts other zombie's to your location. You also better watch out incase the boomer explodes causing huge damage. 3. THE WITCH: The wich is a woman zombie who usually sit's in dark places waiting for unexpecting prey. She let's out a deafening cry that warns you of her presence. If you wonder to close to this zombie she will jump out and attack you leaving devistating damage to your health (and your pride). Well that about sum's up left 4 dead. It may not be my favorite game ever but it's defidently one of my favorites. So go out there and try not to get yourself left 4 dead in the harsh street's of this videogame.
