Amazingly fun experience, balanced and fast paced gameplay, plus co-op!

User Rating: 9.5 | Left 4 Dead PC
Left 4 Dead is the highly anticipated zombie survival/horror first-person shooter game from Valve. You play as 1 of 4 survivors, all mysteriously immune to the zombie infection; and in versus mode you can play as 1 of 4 Boss Infected characters, all with different special attacks.

In the campaign mode you go through 4 chapters, all of which end with a final stage where you fight off hordes of zombies, several tanks and plenty of other Boss Infected, which is sometimes hard and frustrating- yet fulfilling when you finally get it done.

Overall the game is very balanced and exciting, especially with friends (if only I still had any after being glued to my screen since the demo came out). Only a few minor complaints:

-No server browser available fiddling in console.
-Often times it never finds you a dedicated server, forcing you to locally host (leading to lag for everyone but you)
-Occasional bugs with special infected, usually the Tank, which will occasionally get stuck somewhere, or get stuck in an animation loop (climbing up/down a fence)- though usually it manages to get around (and through) it's environment with terrifying ease.
-Each chapter has basically the same set up- though the AI "Director" makes it bearable to play several times over.

HOWEVER! The list of Pros far outweighs the list of Cons, and this fast-paced Co-Op game is a must for anyone who loves zombies movies, zombie shooters, or shooters in general. Well worth the 50 bucks on STEAM, it's so much goddam fun! needtoshootmorezombies bai
