I bought this game due to the many positive reviews and the Game of the Year satus it earned. I enjoy shooters and thought this would be one hell of a game. But for me this game was not that great. I honestly do not understand what all the hype is about. The first thing that got me was that there is little to no story... Each level is independent and has nothing connecting it to the others. Each level is the same, but with different environments. Seriously how hard would it have been to connect these 4 stories into one and there actually be a goal for what you are doing? Maybe fight through all 4 levels, then get rescued? That wold have made more sense to me than being rescued in each level. I read somewhere that this game was made for mainly multiplayer. Really? Then why even add a single player campaign? I dont get the recent trend of game companies building games around MP anyway. Not everyone wants or even has access to online MP. I enjoy a good single player campaign where I can take my time and do things at my pace, which you can do here but theres no point in doing so. Speaking of the MP side of this game I dont have any friends that are online that have this game. And everytime I got into a MP game I was swiftly kicked out, didnt even get a chance to get a shot in... What fun is that?
On the plus side this game was somewhat fun, for not having much of a main storyline. It was pretty cool fighting hordes and blowing up vomiting Zombies. I just wish there was more to it. All good games have a good story behind them. The impression I got from this was to venture wildy into the streets and shoot whatever that moves, for no purpose, other than to survive. Like I said before the 4 stories levels should have tied in somwhere and the game should have had a proper ending. Then it would have earned a 5 star game of the year rating, in my opinion. With that said it is doubtful that I will be playing L4D2.Get more detail about Left 4 Dead.
