Left 4 Dead Review

Left 4 Dead

About The Game

The game is about a Zombie outbreak and two weeks after the outbreak 4 survivors emerge and they are in fact immune to the virus. These 4 people team together to survice against the zombies. It is a first person shooter that sets players going through a set of campaigns and in those campaigns players will be running form safe room to safe room until eventually rescued this can be done single player or co-op. There is also a Versus mode which consists of 8 people in a server one set of 4 plays as the survivors and the other 4 as the special infected. An excellent game, plenty of laughs too.

What I Like About Left 4 Dead

I like a lot of stuff in this game it's fun, everything about the game screams fun! The Co-Op the Versus, especially playing as the infected. The main thing I like about this game again is mods, mods can be added to this game on PC version I mainly like the idea of new weapon skins and so on. I am forever playing the game on the hardest difficulty because the game is so hard and it's a great challenge to try and take down the zombies.

How Can The Game Be Improved

This game is very good most of the problems that were present have either been fixed or the community themselves have fixed them. I think the main thing with this game is the limited amount of weaponry and it needed a hell of lot more to keep players more content. I know I am reviewing this game and it is very old and there is 2nd Left 4 Dead available however this is the original and I found it a lot more fun than the 2nd one. The problem with weaponry was fixed in the 2nd game even with addition of melee weapons but I think the campaign the characters were far better in the original.

My Top 3 Tips For New Players

1. Play as a team! This is so essential in all modes as the game focuses on team work.

2. Use items efficiently - For example use med kits sparingly they don't come often especially on the higher difficulty settings. Another thing use pipe bombs and Molotovs carefully as these do cause friendly fire and can cause your team to completely lose if not used carefully.

3. This is an opinionated tip. In my opinion the Auto Shotgun is the best weapon, so I would recommend using this however the draw back is it has low ammunition so make sure you use it wisely and switch to your pistol when necessary.

What Features Separate It From Other Games

At its core this is another First Person shooter, which is great because who doesn't love them, but what I really like about this game is its focus on team work there are so many games that maybe multiplayer and you fight on a team but on this game it's rare to find someone who can carry the whole team, it will take all 4 of you to complete the game. This is something I think more games should focus on, it is apparent to me that co-op is something that is overlooked to me
