Valve, Zombies & Guns? 'nuff Said 02/12/2008

User recommends the product

Advantages Co-operative Gameplay at its Finest
Disadvantages Offline Experience is Sub-par

We've nearly made it to the safe room, back-peddling and guns blazing. I can hear the onrushing infected, so I throw down a defensive Molotov at the mouth of the bridge. I'm injured and without a medpack, so they'll easily chase me down. Through the flames dozens of the horde emerge, alight but still standing. Surely we'll make it now. One of my team mates is pounced on by a Hunter; I beat it off and pump three shotgun rounds into its chest. I haul my downed comrade up and we continue the long limp to the safe room. 100 yards to go. The ground starts to tremble. Our opposition have a Tank ... more

Advantages Zombies and crazy jumping zombies
Disadvantages No story, but who cares when it plays like this

Left 4 dead. No title has ever made more sense for a game. I'm limping along down a path, one team mate has already been killed and the others are severely injured, suddenly the music that we all dread plays in the background as a mass onslaught of zombies surrounds us. The last safe room is just round the corner, my two friends are pinned to the floor as I use every bit of skill left in me to make it alive. As I close the metal door of the safe room I can't help but feel guilty for not helping my friends in the moment of need. But then again? I made it alive. And that is what Left 4 Dead is ... more

Advantages A great, gory shoot 'em up
Disadvantages Not enough campaigns, not enough blood

I’ve never really enjoyed survival horror games, in spite of my life-long love of horror films. All those Resident Evils were just too complicated – too much stupid stuff to do between bouts of zombie killing. All I really want to do is shoot thing – puzzles, save points and missions are not my bag. Which is why Left 4 Dead is one of my favourite shooty games. It’s beautifully uncomplicated. You and your teammates have to make it from point A to point B, and that’s it. Yes, there are zombies (or rather, ‘infected’) who want to stop you, but you’re not trying to cure them, find out why they’re ... more

28 Days Later meets Playability 01/12/2008

User doesn't recommend the product

Advantages Zombie kill overdrive, essensial co-op play, friends a plenty
Disadvantages Limited weapons and enemy types, lack's scare factor and atmosphere

Left 4 Dead is a co-operative (and I will emphasis on that), survival horror, first person shooter that lets you take control of four main characters. Bill - A Vietnam veteran Louis - An office worker Zoey - A student with a passion for horror movies Francis - A biker They find themselves the sole saviours of a city completely infested with zombies and they're only goal is to survive and escape, you're not given any back story or what's caused the infection, it's simply kill or be killed. Okay, it's very cliché, but at least it's sticking to basics in a horror film perception. These are types ... more

Left 4 Dead 10/03/2009

User recommends the product

Advantages Great co-op, addictive play, scary at times.
Disadvantages Poor versus multiplayer, can get

Left 4 Dead is a First Person Shooter game created by the game studio Valve, the same people who brought us Portal, Team Fortress and the epic Half-Life series. Needless to say expectations of this game were extremely high... ------- Story ------- The events of Left 4 Dead are set in present day America, when a contagious virus has broken out and a zombie horde has spawned itself across the globe. It is your job as one of the four immune survivors to run away as fast as possible. The game has 4 different chapters, each with a different setting and each chapter is divided into 5 different acts; ... more

Welcome To Hell... 11/05/2009

User recommends the product

Advantages Great graphics, fantastic gameplay and online multiplayer
Disadvantages Not enough levels..

Have you been left for dead? Well thats the case for Zoe, Francis, Louis and Bill, survivors of an infection that has taken over the city, and turned 99% of the population into zombies. Your objective, first and foremost is to stay alive, armed with a pistol, machine gun or shotgun and a medpack. Your second obective is to get to a safe house, and get through the hoardes of zombies that would love a taste of your flesh. However, there aren't just your plain old zombies, there are "special infected". These are the big boys of Zombies ; The Boomer ; a morbidly obese zombie covered in boils who's ... more

Ahh, how everyone loves shooting some good ol' fashioned Zombies! 30/06/2009

User recommends the product

Advantages Endless mindless fun, Zombies!, Nice level creation
Disadvantages Bit repetitive at times

...and that's what this game is ALL about; pulling out Shotgun, standing there, waiting for these stupid Zombies to walk close enough to you so that when you fire, bits go everywhere. Don't you love our society nowadays? You can be one of four characters in this game: Zoe, Louis, Francis and Bill. (Zoe enjoys being the only female, and you can too!) Choose one of these lovely fellows as you slowly stroll through 4 scenic campaigns: No Mercy, Death Toll, Dead Air and Blood Harvest. Your weapons: at the beginning of each level, you can choose from an Uzi or a pump-action shotgun (and you are ... more

Left 4 Dead....very dissapointing 24/06/2010

User doesn't recommend the product

Advantages Novel AI, Great online
Disadvantages Average gameplay, only 4 "levels", pointless without Xbox Live

I had high expectations of this title. The awards it won, the fact it was made by one of my favourite companies of all time Valve and the hype surrounding it. I was expecting more from is a fairly above average title. The premise of the game is you play as one of a team of Survivors in a Zombie Infested area. The object of the game is to basically Survive! The game has 4 “movies” to complete. Each Movie is split into 5 parts and can be played in any order at any time. It makes the game feel like it has a loose structure and it gives players no real urge to rush to find out what lies next as ... more

wacth out the infected are coming!!! love this game! 25/08/2009

User recommends the product

Advantages exceptionally easy to get into, great to play as multi-player
Disadvantages maybe some extra chapters wouldn't hurt

Left 4 Dead was recommended to me by a friend and now I'm passing on my recommendation of an absolutely fantastic, fast-paced, action-packed zombie destroying game! Can you survive the zombie apocalypse? What I really love about this game is that you're thrown in right at the deep end, with no need for control and goal instructions, there are no unnecessary, boring story-telling cut scenes.....all you need to do is survive! You are thrown into a world where the infected have taken over and equipped with some pretty effective weapons, your job is to survive four chapters, that are each split ... more

Zombie at its best!

User recommends the product

Advantages Zombies,Zombies and more Zombies.
Disadvantages none

This is a first person view game at its best. There are 4 players to choose from. Francis (voiced by Vince Valensuela), a tattoo-covered biker. Zoey (voiced by Jen Taylor), a college student and horror movie enthusiast. Louis (voiced by Earl Alexander), a junior systems analyst in his company's IT department; and Bill (voiced by Jim French), a former Green Beret and a Vietnam veteran. Through out the game your charactor has a wide enough selection of guns. Each player starts the game with a M1911 pistol. It has unlimited ammo and is the only weapon that the Survivor can use when they are ... more
