User Rating: 9 | Left 4 Dead X360
Left 4 Dead is one of the best games I have ever played! Being a zombie shooter fan (Resident Evil, Silent Hill...) This seemed like a natural choice! Honestly at the start I was slow enough to pick it up! I was bored after an hour! The teams AI annoyed me! A few months later (enter high-speed internet) I got XBOX Live. Left 4 Dead is now a whole new game! Having real people on the team instead of mindless teammates really changes things. I've only completed one Campaign so far (waiting for a friend to start playing) but I've played on all four. There is a very limited amount of weapons. Pistols, shotgun, machine-gun, sniper (of some sort), petrol bomb, timer grenade/molotov... There's also things lying around like gas containers. These never seem to be a problem though as it is all you'll need!
The enemies (Infected) have great AI, thanks to Unreal Engine 3! Respawning depending on your location, health, skill and other enemy locations. The 5 Special Infected consist of the Witch (Claws relentlessly), the Boomer (Vomits on you, attracting multiple infected), the Hunter (Screams, jumps on you and claws until death), the Smoker (Uses it's tongue to drag/seperate you from the team), the Tank (VERY strong). These 5 really make the game fun!
All in all a good single player game. Excellent multiplayer game. But online it shines! Especially with Vs. Mode (play as team or the infected) and Survival Mode (Obvious. Survive as long as you can).
Overall 9/10
