IGN 9.0 for Left4Dead unfair, would be 6.5

If you don't like multiplayer, there's really no need to even be talking about the game then.

You don't buy TF2 and go aww no single player? You don't buy Portal and go aww no multiplayer? L4D is a multiplayer game, so if you don't like playing with people online, it's simply not the game for you, end of story.

No need to go on.

And there's an easy difficulty setting for a reason...

If I didn't like online MP or MP in general, I would've never bought Brawl; I just happen to prefer SP over it. And even if the game is multiplayer-centric, a decent single player component doesn't exactly hurt anyone, and vice versa; Deus Ex's online MP didn't detract anything from its single-player experience, for instance.

But then again, I don't have really anything else to add here. The demo apparently blows and it's completely Valve's fault if they lose sales because of it, some people like the game and some don't, and bashing a loved game is a really easy way to get attention online. I guess that's pretty much it.

Cheerio.

The demo didn't blow....but it was easier and very short...this is a multiplayer game that is much, much more satisfying if you play through a whole campaign with other people.

And Valve couldn't really make a whole campaign the demo, since that'd be like 1/4 of the game right there...since it is very, very replayable.
