Left 4 Dead

super repetetive

the whole concept of the "revolutionary" zombie AI director is that it will give the game supposedly infinite replay value by spawning zombies in different locations every time you play.

no cigar. there are four "campaigns" (each can be easily beaten in fourty five minutes or less) and each is almost exactly the same as the last. there are only four weapons to choose from and needless to say the gameplay gets boring pretty fast for quite a few reasons. after you've beaten the four campaigns which you can easily do in a rental period, theres really no value left unless you want to rack up the tedious (one requires that you kill 53,595 zombies for a whopping 20G) and in some cases absurdly difficult achievements

this is definitely not the best game of the year. it's not even the best zombie game as Dead Rising has far more variety and replay value. so what is it? a cheap popcorn action game good for a few hours of play. don't buy it.
