Left 4 Dead

zyryx's Left 4 Dead (Xbox 360) review

almost perfect

overall I love this game, the emphasis on teamwork is refreshing.  the A.I. is amazing and the "director" keeps repeat playability high. the four difficulty levels are almost perfect, easy for when you are just messing around up to expert where you better be on your game. online play is challenging, can be a real blast with friends, but it's hit or miss when playing with strangers, we all know how XBL can be at times. my only complaints are in design. I was disappointed in the tollbooth level... that tunnel could have been a real highlight of the game, much longer and MUCH more darker. I was hoping for a tunnel like in the Stephen King novel "the stand". a mile in total darkness save for your flashlight climbing over abandoned cars most of the way, slow and scary as hell. my other complaint is one I have for all games with guns. when you reload a half full clip, yet never lose the ammo in that clip. I would like to see in advanced mode you have X amount of clips with Y amount of ammo. if you change clips and still have 5 shots in that clip, you keep the same amount of ammo, but eventually you reuse that clip with only 5 shots. for expert the same thing, but if you reload with 5 shots left in that clip, you lose the clip and the ammo. I like the idea of that added challenge

Valve has been known for creating some of the most memorable games to grace the PC and more recently the Xbox 360. Left 4 Dead is the latest hit game to be released from the company and brings together the joy of slaughtering hundreds of zombies with the ability to share the fun with your friends. Never has killing the undead been so much fun in a video game.  Pros  Excellent cooperative multiplayerGreat atmosphereInteresting online versus play Cons Only four campaigns AI partners are not always...
