And in The Parish, you have to make your way through a maze of fences while zombies climb over the top and onto you. Visibility is severly limited, and it is a true shock to suddenly be attacked by a group of zombies. Then, you have to go all the way back again, retracing your steps. For example, Hard Rain starts by having you fighting in true L4D style going from A to B. There are 5 campaigns in the game, each with it’s own ‘wow’ factor and unique quirks. You take control of one of 4 characters, who are the unlikely group of comrades fighting their way through the zombie horde with a variety of melee weapons and more conventional weapons and tools. And do you know what the best part is? It takes every part of the original game, improves it and adds a slew of new features to boot to ensure that you will be playing this game for a long time to come.įirst of all, let me explain the general premise behind L4D2. However, don’t take this as a sign that Valve hasn’t put in a lot of effort to make this the best zombie shooter yet. But Valve, renowned for taking their time over their work brought out the second Left 4 Dead too early for some. From any other developer, this would not have been such a big deal. It is only a year since the last game, and the question on everyone’s minds is whether this game is worth it, after the prequel came out only 12 months ago. Then there's creeps like The Smoker with its frog-like tongue that can strangle those out to harm it.Well I was still very much active in L4D1 when L4D2 was announced. Zombies can move slowly, like Night of the Living Dead, or quickly, a la 28 Weeks Later. teammates merely following your lead (and if you're hurt, you can't request to change formation with 'bots as you can with human players). In fact, playing with real people is preferred as you can better strategize and work together instead of the A.I. While this doesn't sound like a long game, gamers can play Left 4 Dead solo, with artificial intelligence (A.I.) handling the other survivors (called 'bots), or better yet, with 2 or 3 other online players for both the PC and Xbox 360 versions of the game. The main game is divided into four scenarios, each lasting about 60 to 90 minutes or so, but the time it'll take depends on how the survivors - the attractive Zoey, a biker Francis, an army vet Bill and an average guy Louis- tackle the level as a few alternate routes and objectives can extend the adventure. Players can also heal each other and save their progress at safehouse spots and rescue points. By working together and coordinating efforts, players will traipse through dangerous locations – such as a subway tunnel, countryside, airport, loading dock and hospital – and will need to help each other to stay alive (example: only a teammate can help another survivor if taken down by a zombie). Published by Valve, the creators of Half Life and Counter-Strike, comes this modern-day survival horror game that challenges four "survivors" to stay alive despite attacks by hordes of the undead and mutated creatures. Now there's LEFT 4 DEAD, a new zombie thriller that combines both genres into an intense – yet mature – action experience. We've seen "survival horror" video games, pitting man against deadly creatures in scary environments, and we've seen multiplayer-focused first-person shooters with an emphasis on co-op play. The characters barely talk in the campaign. Oh and there is no sensuality and no sexuality. This game isn't bad and is one of the greatest zombie games. Some people may say there is drug reference because pain pills can be taken to boost the characters health. A very large zombie called the Boomer explodes in a cloud of blood and bile that attracts a horde of zombies when you shoot it. Blood and gore are not that bad you can blow off limbs but I don't see any blood because it is so dark most of the time. You can hear scary piano music in the background and the muffled sobs and screams of a zombie witch. You can not harm them but they do get mad at you. The only time I hear swears are when I accidentally shoot the other survivors. Yes it is violent but you have to remember you are killing zombies in self defense. You use a variety of weapons such as Pistols, Shotguns, Assault rifles, hunting rifles, Malatov cocktails and pipe bombs. You go home and decide to look into it more. Blood and gore, intense violence, and language. You go to the store and your son asks for this game, you look at the back and see the "M" rating. Some parents may hesitate to buy this game for their kid(s).
