This is how Zombie games should be made!
User Rating: 10 | Left 4 Dead PC
If you've ever watched some of the classic zombie movies such as Dawn of the dead then you can pretty much expect a nice transition into video games with Left 4 Dead. You get to choose from four playable characters known as the "Survivors". You must make your way to safety while fighting off hordes of undead. The AI in the game is extremely good and will either beef up or lighten up on how many walking dead will attack you. It gets really interesting when one of the four specialty zombies attack. You have the hunter with the long reaching tongue and when killed smokes, the boomer who can shoot vomit on you and attract more zombies to you or explode when shot. The tank which can take a great deal of damage before dying and throw large chunks of cement. Finally the Witch, who announces her presence with an eerie small girls cry. When you find her though she can instantly down any of your party and is extremely fast. Overall the game hits everything on the head and delivers what I consider a long overdue experience in zombie survival games. Sadly The only downfall to the game is the shortness. Broken up into four chapters the game is extremely short but thanks to clever mechanics and the ability to play as the undead in the multi-player Left 4 Dead is one of the must have games for your collection.
