Horrible sequel to a entertaining game.
This horrible sequel totally changes up the first game. You no longer have lives but instead there are now four interchangable characters where if one, or more, goes down you can resurrect them. Unfortunetly if all four of you go down it's game over.
In the first game if you die you come back, just minus one life and your back to you basic weapon. No big deal, weapon drops are frequent enough. I just hate that once all four of you are dead it's game over. This is worse on single player where you're dealing with AI.
This turns out to be a real drag because everytime I ran into a "boss" zombie he'd breathe toxic gas on my team mates and I'd find myself alone really quick. And once you're all dead all the progress you made during the level is gone too, including your character level ups. It becomes frustrating quick.
What makes the game worse is the annoying chatter of some of your characters. Apparently someone thought it'd be funny if I had to listen to a character use annoying "game speak" eg(just trollin', pwnage, pwn) with an equally annoying accent. I wish you could mute the character like you can on anyone else on XBOX live when they irritate you.
The game now features a level up system for you and your characters. This is interesting, but you no longer get weapon drops.
I beat the first game on every mode, got every achievement and really liked it. I'd recommend the first game, but I can not recommend this game at all. It's annoying, frustrating, and not worth the 400msp that I spent on it.
