It's Left 4 Dead, Not Much Else (Crash Course review)
So Crash Course basically took me by surprise. I learned about it's release date the day before it came out. By chance I still had 640 Microsoft Points left, so I picked it up the next day. Crash Course really does nothing different, and is simply more Left 4 Dead, as you'd expect. It's meant to bridge the first and second campaigns together. The pilot that rescues you on the roof of Mercy Hospital turns into an Infected and the chopper crashes. The campaign itself is short, clocking in at around 30 minutes. This is kind of a bummer, because the campaign definitely felt too short after I had completed it. The map design was largely similar to that of the other campaigns, and there are no new weapons, characters, or Infected. There is new dialogue, and it's pretty funny. The first time I started up the campaign, I was greeted with Francis saying "Alright, I'm gonna tell you guys somethin'. I. Hate. Helicopters." Not to mention the fact that the mid level safe room writings are amazing. The DLC does come with 10 achievements, all of which are varied. The achievements include simple ones such as surviving the campaign, to more complex ones such as dragging a Survivor to you as a Smoker after they've been vomited on. There's even an achievement that requires you to kill 5,354 zombies in Crash Course.
Overall, Crash Course is a disappoint.. It's nice to have another campaign, but you can't help but think that the only reason this was released was to calm down the Left 4 Dead 2 boycotters. If you love Left 4 Dead, and I mean love it, you might find something to enjoy. But overall, it's not good.
Author's Note: Previously I mentioned how bad the glitches were in Crash Course. The glitches I mentioned have since been fixed
