Closing Comments
Whether or not Left 4 Dead 2 is for you really depends on your level of exposure and affinity for the style of hardcore team-focused gameplay Valve is offering here. If you’re still interested in the gameplay, then you’re going to enjoy every aspect of the sequel since it’s improved in all areas, from available game modes to strength of character and personality to replayability and its visual style. After playing, you’ll find it impossible to go back to the first game. Though plenty of other games offer co-operative gameplay against mobs of computer-controlled foes, no other game emphasizes teamwork as strongly as this, and few other games are as satisfying when you’re able to pull through successfully, particularly when competing in Versus mode against four human-controlled boss zombies. If you saw the original and were always curious to try it out, then by all means get the sequel. It is, without a doubt, the better game. Yet despite all the advancements and additions, it’s still very familiar, and something meant to appeal to those who are already sold on the concept. If you’re someone never cared for the game, Left 4 Dead 2 isn’t going to change your mind. Even so, it remains one of the most distinctive co-operative titles out there, and allows for some of the most nerve-searing team-based multiplayer gaming on the market.

Gametrailers review...8.7

So far so good.



9.0 for a game with virtually no story, it PROVES just how damn good the gameplay is on this game and its fun fun fun all the way.

Imagine if Left 4 Dead 1 & 2 actually had a full story to go alongside the already awesome gameplay, their scores would be immensly high.



AAA Confirmed!

Why does L4D need a story?  Some things are better without them.

Was Tetris Worlds better because they tried to put a story on that?

What about Bomberman Zero?  Was that better because they tried to add a story to it?

Would Super Mario Galaxy be better if they gave it Paper Mario's story or would that story destroy the pacing of the game?



I have to decide whether to get this or Modern Warfare 2 for my brother for Christmas. Hmm...
