Left 4 dead is just the latest in a series brilliant games by valve.
The gameplay is easy to pick up but hard to master since the normal difficulty doesn't do the game justice those who have any experience in the genre will want to start out on the hard mode.Once you've done that be ready because whithin seconds you're gonna have zombies all over you, from all sides.The gameplay is truly frightning and intence but it's also addictive and fun. Valve proves again that simplicity is golden.
Graphics 9/10
A mix between half life and TF2 the graphics are both realistic and over the top.There a great amount of gore and blood in Left 4 dead but theres also a great physics engine behind it all that makes everything click.The framerate also manages to stay smooth about 90% of the time which is impressive considering the amount of zombies on screen.
Sound 10/10
A combonation of creepy backround noise the familliar zombie groans and loud guns means that theres never a moment of complete silence or rest. The 4 survivors also shout warning and talk back and forth to either help or tease one another.
Value 9/10
