"Left 4 Dead is absolute chaos. It is intense, fast-paced, thrilling, exhilarating, and exhausting. It is everything you could ever hope for a game to be and more - every single expectation I had for the game was blown away entirely. I was literally in awe over how fun and unique of an experience it offered and I have to say that it was honestly the best gaming experience I've had in my life.
We as gamers seem to hear this kind of sensationalism for unreleased games far too often, and believe me that I too have been the victim of such unwarranted hype - but I promise you that these are not empty words. This game is truly original and it offers up a pure gaming experience. Everything in Left 4 Dead is geared towards reaching that mindset of pure gaming bliss. It is challenging, and you will fail. You will scream, curse, laugh and cry, and love every single second of it."
This game is going to absolutely rock.
Left 4 Dead Hands-on Preview
To start off...
- Left 4 Dead is a First Person Shooter Co-operative Multiplayer game in which you play as one of up to four people (called “Survivors”), luckily immune to a virus that’s sending most of the population mad, pitched against an endless horde of psychotic infected people.
- There are no character classes, every player starts off on an even footing in terms of skills and weaponry, meaning success requires teamwork and quick thinking.
- At the start of each campaign of choice you begin with a basic pistol. Next to you are tables from which you can grab your choice of SMG or shotgun, and an explosive. Then you get into the action.
- Your goal...survive. Reach the helipad at the end of the campaign.
The 'Infected'
- Whilst players with automatic weapons against weaponless psychopaths with no thought of tactics may seem like a one-sided fight, it won’t be. The infected have one very clear advantage…
...numbers. BIG numbers.
