LEFT 4 DEAD

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to fight in a zombie apocalypse, Well here’s your chance.
Valve’s newest game, Left 4 Dead, puts player’s in the perspective of one of four survivors. The survivors are Francis, who is a biker, Zoey,who is a collage student, Louis, who is a junior system’s analyst, and finally Bill who is a former Green Beret. The game takes place in, as you probably guessed, a city full of zombies. The game has four campaigns which are No Mercy, Death Toll, Dead Air, and Blood Harvest. But don’t worry each campaign has five levels. So you get twenty levels total. Each campaign takes about fifty minutes to about one hour and ten minutes. But I guarantee you will be having so much fun you wont even notice the time go by. There isn’t that many weapons but they pack a punch. Dual handguns, Uzi, shotgun/ auto shotgun, auto rifle, sniper rifle and pipe bomb and Molotov cocktail. This game has a single player, online co-op, and a VS mode. The single player is alright. You play as the survivor of your choice and the others are AI. The highlight of this game is defiantly the online modes. The co-op play is probably the best I’ve seen in awhile. It requires you to work as a team otherwise you will be zombie food. Staying together as a team is key if you go off by your self you’ll probably get killed off. At key points of the game you’ll have to summon the horde which is a big group of zombies and you have to survive it to move on to continue on through the level. At the end of each campaign after you call for the rescue vehicle you and your team have to hold off a huge horde. This is where the teamwork is most important, so before you call for help or summon the horde, strategize with your teammates to get a plan set. For instance, me and my team were at the end of Blood Harvest and we had to survive in a farm house. Well we made the plan up to hold one of the rooms up stairs, Two on the door and the other two holding the windows, and it was a great success. Just to let you know, when the escape vehicle is there that doesn’t mean the zombies are going to stop coming. Sometimes its more difficult to get to the escape vehicle then to hold off the horde. Finally the VS mode, which is like the co-op mode but the special infected are played by human players, which makes it all the more challenging. Look me up Jaws444 and we can go and kill some zombies. Definitely play the co-op first before attempting VS. All in all this is a great game that I definitely recommended.
