Left 4 Dead

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 12 April 2009

Platform: PCEdition: Standard EditionVerified Purchase

Imagine a world full of zombies; now imagine that world with only a few survivors and you managed to end up being one of these fortunate beings now destined to fight off the hordes. Got that image securely stuck in your mind? Great... that is Left 4 Dead's basic structure; however that view completely fails to capture the adrenaline rush which you receive as you advance through the campaign mowing you way through the masses of recently deceased. The sight of seeing hundreds of bodies falling at your feet as you do your best to keep yourself and your companions alive long enough to be taken to safety is certainly an exciting prospect which you look forward to at the start of each mission.

The game itself is a mostly online multiplayer game which encourages team work as you keep each other out of harms and rescuing them from certain death which is inflicted by the different types of enemy you face. You can play it offline too which is a nice touch for those without internet access (albeit you still need to use steam to install it) but to really achieve the full experience it is best to access online. The only limiting factor is the small number of campaign missions which is a shame as the current ones are brilliant fun. It's not all doom and gloom, you soon forget the repetition of levels when you move onto the "versus" mode where you partake in a manic fight for survival as you not only play against AI undead but other players too!

As a game made by Value, we have grown to expect flawless game play and excitement throughout and they have certainly managed to capture this in their newest shooter which captures the spirit of a zombie apocalypse perfectly.

Team tactics galore

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 8 March 2009

Platform: PCEdition: Standard EditionVerified Purchase

You only have to watch the intro to this game to understand what a masterpiece it is. The game mechanics accurately reflect everything that the intro movie shows, from hanging off buildings and having to be rescueed by your friends, to setting off car alarms and drawing hordes of zombies. Tanks to constricting smokers, boomers and hunters, hordes and just single enemies hiding in cupboards that you don't see until they've knocked you down and eaten your ears - this game is great fun.

The difficulties scale so well, easy I can't vouch for, but normal is a good introduction to the game, and advanced is where the first day's playtime will be spent, but the real meat of the game is in expert difficulty. You cannot get by on expert without your team. The final campaign; Blood Harvest, will take you a good few attempts even with the most experienced team, and the soon-to-be-released DLC (free from Valve!) can only improve this game.

I have already recommended this game to three other people, they are all playing right now and loving it - I can honestly say I haven't played a better online game, a better first person shooter or a better team/first person strategy game.

My advice to anyone would be to buy this now, support the community and get yourself good enough to play expert, there aren't enough good players out there yet!

Oh and CROUCH! I cannot stress the importance of crouching enough!

PS. Please don't run off in front with the shotgun, strafing side to side standing up. Seriously, you will be shot by your friends/smokered/stumble over a witch, and it will be your own fault!

Another excellent release by Valve

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 4 February 2009

Platform: PCEdition: Standard EditionVerified Purchase

I have been a great fan of Valve products to date, starting off with the Half-Life franchise, Left 4 Dead has been a hit in a niche market where others have tried and failed.

It truly is Co-Op TEAMPLAY. This is not a single player game with four people playing the game, this is where it truly gives you stories you share with your friends about. You have to rely on others in your team to support you due to the way the mechanics of the game forces you to.

Left 4 Dead has the normal Co-Op story mode which while challenging-but-possible on normal mode for a PuG scales to a very intensive gaming mode when you switch up the difficulty.
Then there is the versus mode, intelligent zombies! This is where I spend a lot of my time and have a lot of fun.

Since it is Valve, naturally user generated and official downloadable content will be made available, however my only concern is whether or not the release on xBox 360 will delay PC releases of new content.

Dead Good, Left Wanting More!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 25 April 2009

Platform: PCEdition: Standard EditionVerified Purchase

As someone who's not very good at your average shooter, but enjoys co-op play, this game stands, no make that towers, above other games in the FPS genre. Of course, it's unique in the way it deals with co-op play where it really does make a big difference to success. Players who go solo during co-op games instantly detract from the sheer joy and scariness to be gleaned from facing the hordes as a team.

Personally, this has to be one of my all time favourites, though I'm relatively late in buying this (April 09) so the novelty has yet to wear off.

My only gripe has to be it's too short, but the modding community are fervently addressing this issue. I hope Valve continue to support this title in the future as this is a damn fine game by any standard and is best when played as intended; four players against the horde.

Well worth every penny!

Good game, best fun i've had in a while on PC

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 26 November 2008

Platform: PCEdition: Standard EditionVerified Purchase

Bought this on Amazon last friday and it came 4 days later, i have to say Left 4 Dead is brilliant, graphics are spot on and the gameplay is good fun all round, played it online with a friend in co-op mode and it was superb, we both enjoyed it and will no doubt be playing it together again for while yet, i didn't give it the full 5 stars because theres a slight niggle with the Firewall interupting games saying the game is malicious software, even so you would just click allow as you know its not malicious but its still a little annoying.
Anyway if you want a good fun game to play online with some mates or even a good single player shooter then this game is bluddy good fun, get Left 4 Dead you know you want to!!!!!!!!!!
