LEFT 4 DEAD 2 REVIEW SERIES

The second game to the series Left 4 Dead came to the players in the best way possible. With loads of new weapons, items and infected to fight, the massive number of improvements to gameplay that was already great and a core package that contains more content than its predecessor, Left 4 Dead 2 is not only an easy recommendation for any co-op gamer, it will again be a likely contender for our Co-Op Game of the Year.If you have ever wanted a game that would scare you or cause you to have to panic, this is the game.

LEFT 4 DEAD 2 REVIEW PC

I think the best way to describe the difference this year is simple: Left 4 Dead 2 is a PC game on a console, and it's just not as balanced for it as the first one. The co-op experience is still second to none, and despite moments of frustration, everyone I played with agreed the moments of awesome outweigh the frustration. It's amazing how far Valve is able to push the Source Engine on both platforms. The game is a visual step up from it's predecessor, with fancy new effects all around Hard Rain is particularly impressive during the monsoon. The game's controls are still adequate, as not much as changed with them since Left 4 Dead 1, but there were times our group couldn't help but curse as we got overwhelmed, feeling helpless to overcome the challenge. The new special infected combined with the Director 2.0 might just give the computer too much of an edge, and the controller might not be enough of a weapon to deal with it. While the 360 version plays decent enough, I think it finally starts to show it's weakness compared to the PC counterpart. Left 4 Dead on the 360 did incredibly well, and I think eventually we'll see the sequel do the same, but as of now it's fighting for online time with a myriad of other releases this year.

Support for mods and custom campaigns is included out of the box this time, so hopefully there will be a steady stream of new content.

LEFT 4 DEAD 2 REVIEW GENERATOR

The Versus and Survival modes make a comeback and are just as entertaining as you remember them, and L4D2 adds a new "Scavenge" mode, where the survivors must gather fuel for a generator while the Infected do their best to try and stop them.

Scavenge mode adds a new twist to the standard Versus game. It's incredibly difficult and casual L4D players need not apply. You buddy just get head-humped by a jockey? Better hope he's using voice chat, or you might not be able to tell he's in trouble. You don't get notifications when they are attacked by a special Infected, and no items in the world are highlighted, and you will not see any arrows directing you to them. You will no longer see your teammates' names over their head, nor will they be highlighted when they go around a corner. Did you think the blood splatter over your UI in Modern Warfare 2 was bad? Wait until you see the aftermath of a fire axe rampage.įor those of you who refuse to play on anything but Expert difficulty, Valve has added "Realism" mode, which only makes small changes to the game, but exponentially ramps up the difficulty. When you're backed into a corner, there's nothing finer than revving up the chainsaw and lopping off limbs, heads and torsos in a sea of ropy gore. From your Valve-standard crowbar to frying pans (I hope this is another nod to Dead Rising) and the mighty chainsaw, you can choose to equip yourself however you see fit. I would be remiss to not speak of the new melee weapons and what they add to the game. Meet Ellis, the best character in the L4D series. Whether that's a Steam bug or not is unknown to me. Solution? Bring friends! There appear to be a few lingering crash bugs affecting certain players (*glares at Jason*), and there's a rather odd bug that causes your Steam achievements to reset as soon as you exit the game. They'll also run off in random directions, or in extreme cases, stare at a wall blankly. More often than not, especially in a certain campaign level, your teammates will trigger the witch. While in the first game, you could reasonably expect to succeed with a few AI partners, that aspect has not been brought into the sequel. Unfortunately, with this challenge comes the realization that any bot players will become a liability. Expect to see whoever tries to help a Jockeyed survivor get nabbed by a Smoker, or a Charger come sprinting in while you're dealing with Boomer bile. The AI is much more evil, often using multiple special infected in tandem to split up your group. Between the new special infected (the acid-spewing, thong-wearing Spitter, the Jockey, who rides survivors off into the sunset, and the Charger, who can shove his target long distances away from the group and bash them savagely) and the upgraded AI Director, things can get unpredictable very fast.

The challenge level has been increased significantly.
