Prepare to Fight the Horde! Left 4 Dead 2 Review
What better way to crack a smile than to pump some zombies full of lead! This game is simple survive the zombie outbreak. You are one of four people (Ellis, Coach, Rochelle and Nick) using all available weaponry to get through 5 campaigns. There are pistols, shotguns, rifles and the occasional grenade launcher to pick as your primary weapon. Then you have anything from a frying pan to a chain saw to use and a melee weapon. Your goal is: slaughter zombies.
This game was done by valve, so if you have played ANY Half Life game you know just what's in store for you. The controls are rather easy to learn, and the gameplay is rather linear. Go from safe house to safe house, amassing an artillery and some medical supplies. After a while the game gets repetitive and it becomes a chore to keep fighting the hordes of zombies. The chit chat from character to character is amusing. There are points in the game where it gets frustrating, but nothing is to difficult to handle.
A great rental indeed! If you are looking for a decent shoot em up with a zombie twist, that does not require hiding behind a wall from 4 hours and calling out commands to your team. Then this one is for you!
I give this one: 4/5
