Minn Kota Editorial Reviews:
|
Set in a modern day survival-horror universe, the co-operative gameplay of Left 4 Dead (L4D) casts four "Survivors" in an epic struggle against hordes of swarming zombies and terrifying "Boss Infected" mutants. Developed by Turtle Rock Studios and Valve, creators of the Counter-Strike and Half-Life games, the latest AI technology allows for multiplayer games of one to eight players.A new and highly virulent strain of the rabies virus emerges and spreads through the human population with frightening speed. The pandemic's victims become grotesquely disfigured widely violent psychopaths, attacking the uninfected on sight. As one of the "lucky" few apparently immune to the sickness, you, unfortunately, are also trapped in a city crawling with thousands of the bloodthirsty Infected. Alone, you're dead. But together with a handful of fellow survivors, you might just fight your way to safety.Players can play as a Survivor or as one of four types of Boss Infected, each of whom possess a unique mutant ability, such as a 50-foot tongue lasso or a giant belly full of explosive methane gas. The gameplay of L4D is set across four massive campaigns. The zombie population of each mission is choreographed by an AI Director that monitors the human players' actions and creates a unique and dramatic experience for them on the fly.

Summary: A Little Disapointed
Comment: I was kind of disapointed in this game for two main reasons.
First, the CD you buy is only a key to download the game. It's kind of a pain. I like to uninstall and reinstall games as I need them and this makes it impossible. If I get virus and need to re-format I will loose the game. If I understand correctly, I will have to buy a new key. I also don't like the fact that I must have steam on my computer.
Secondly, the game is kinda repetative and lacking. There are only a handfull of weapons and only a handfull of zombie types. Even more disapointing is the lack of story and the repetitve nature of each level. "Run from A to B, wait for rescue, kill zombie army, get on escape veichle" I'd like to have more interaction with survivors, (there was none except for the guy in the church tower, and the other end of a radio).
Overall though, this is an entertaining game.

Summary: Zombie Killing awesomeness
Comment: Left 4 Dead is a rock solid zombie fest! First the technical stuff.
As usual Valve's Source engine can pump out some visually stunning graphics even if you don't have top of the line hardware. Even having an older machine with just under the recommended settings the game looks beautiful. The audio and music are great. Since every time you play through the game it is different the audio is always changing to build tension and apprehension that the next zombie horde is just around the corner.
Game play is simple and intuitive. Even if you are a new comer to the PC gaming world Left 4 Dead should only take a few minutes to get used to the controls. The built in tutorial is a wonderful and non-intrusive way to acclimate a player to the L4D control scheme.
The premise for the game is simple. You are a human trying to escape. The zombies see you as a tasty snack and want to eat you. You kill zombies or become the next value meal at the local zombie burger joint. Gameplay is squad based and you definitely need to use voice chat to communicate. Straying too far from the rest of your group usually ends in pain.
The object is to move from one safe house to the next until reaching an extraction point while avoiding the zombies. Help your teammates and keep moving quickly to the next safe house. Sounds simple but there is one catch. L4D will automatically adjust the level difficulty based on how good your health is and how fast you are moving. Move too quickly through the game and the final battle to escape will be one heckuva ride.
Enjoy the slaying!

Summary: Awesome!
Comment: I ordered this for my son for Christmas. All I know is he's thrilled with it so that's good enough for me!
Customer Rating:
Summary: good game
Comment: Not the usual shooter but a good game nonetheless. Game is in short segments but has a lot of replayability. Demands are high for computer specs. No save game option but not all that necessary in this type of game. Overall good game but I think over rated by the so-called experts.
