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 pop… More >>
Well the truth is. It is the wrong version of left 4 dead. I needed the one for Xbox 360. I will be sending this one back

I think this game is a over-hyped, been there-done-that kind of thing. Really, where’s the strategy in all the mindless killing of zombies? Yeah, if you just want to shoot something over and over its fun but if you want more in the way of game content and innovation then look else where. Valve games are all over hyped with HL2 as the exception. I have been playing PC games for years and I can’t believe so many fan boys here buy into it. There is so much more to PC gaming with Fallout 3 being a great example of a real game. My honest opinion about LFD is that it’s nothing but a updated version of last years “Hell Gate London” but done better. Good Luck.

My one star is merely for how long the installation and WAITto play the game took once I got it and not the actual game itself. I have a 512K Connection and it was the longest wait ever on a game installation.
The only drawback I can see to this game is the lack of variety in weapons. The things like Molotov’s, Gas Cans, Propane Tanks are VERY cool.
The Gatlin guns are fun 2 although not quite as useful as you would imagine if the hordes happen to be comnig fro a direction the gun won’t point 2 lol
For a horror movie fan like myself it’s a great game. I’d say the hunting rifle is my personal favorite especially when zooming in and going for head shots it looks like something right out of the new Dawn of The Dead or Romero’s Diary of The Dead. (the hospital level really reminds me of that movie). I would say if you enjoy PC shooter and horror movies or even just into Zombie Flicks or 28 Days Later then this IS the perfect game for you.

One thing straight. I have not tried MP. No time, no energy.This is a review of the SP version, which I guess that is NOT what people are buying this game for. It should have been promoted like the CS series, and my expectations would have been diffrent. Alot of times with other games MP mode bites the big one, and the SP is the “main” promotion. BTW CS allows SP too with bots, just no fun. But I wouldn’t buy that as a SP game.
Quite possibly the stupidest game I ever played. Storyline, none existent. Run around shoot. No time to “sniff the roses” for video effects with AI always closing in around you. A mindless game for people with low attention spans, and no creativity.
Don’t get me wrong. I have loved every Valve game. No other maker is more deserving of the title of greatest games ever made. But this? Makes me sorry for buying it AND presupposes me to doing without in any new release from them. It tooks YEARS for HL2, and many years later, still using the same old tired graphics. You heard right. Tired graphics. No physics or particle effects can make this game look good. Kind of reminds me how suckered I fealt after buying Doom 3. But I would gladly trade graphics for an interesting game, which this is not. 2 GTX 280′s SLI, 790i mobo, 3.5 GHz quad pumping with Multi core enabled in game video options maxed out.
Something tells me this game is just buying the void between HL2 Episodes 10 and 11. Talk about milking a good thing. I went for the hype, and I guess I would like it better if I had NOT expected too much. Can’t even resell it because the key is permanently mine. Kudos if you get Steam going without firewall intervention.

Valve promised new characters, new weapons, new campaigns, new achievements…. and then they decided to release L4D2. Admitted in an interview, they started working on L4D2 IMMEDIATELY after L4D (this game) was launched. The lobby system is still bugged, and we are still waiting for the SDK (to allow user-made content) even though they were promised a long time ago. STAY AWAY FROM VALVE. They lie about what they have in store for their products.
