Left 4 Dead

A childhood classic that introduced me to Xbox live multiplayer. Back when I first got this game, I really never played a zombie game, so this game really filled in that zombie itch I had. The story isn't anything special, but because I've played this game countless times, every character is as memorable as any video game character could be, and each level that I revisit brings back so many good memories. Killing boomers for the first time will always be one of the funniest childhood moments I had playing a video game, and don't even get me started on the damn witch. Me and my brother would constantly freak out once we heard the infamous cries seep from the dark, zombie-infested environment. Such good times. A nostalgic game that holds up, even in today's standards.

I'm just going to do a short review for this one, as though I did appreciate some of what I saw in "Left 4 Dead" it's really not the game for me.

A decade after its release, I was playing "Left 4 Dead" using backward compatibility through my Xbox One. I played through all of the first story campaign (through the town to the hospital) in single player mode and gave up when I couldn't last long enough for the helicopter to arrive on the roof. I had a couple of goes, but I'm afraid my gaming time isn't sufficient that I can afford to get stuck for an extended period of time and not make any progress. I know the game is designed to be played by four human players together, and I'm sure that if I had that option it would have been easier to progress, but I don't really enjoy online play, either co-operative or competitive.

Gunplay and level design was good. Graphically it's starting to show its age a bit but that is to be expected. I'm sure there's much to admire with "Left 4 Dead" but it's not for me.

This game is something which will never lose its passion and love i have for it. The Valve industries has produced an excellent game which is hard to deny. The characters such as Boomer, Hunter, Smoker, Tank and Witch are very fabulous creations that has enough abilities to scare you to your limits. The survivors Characters of Bill, Francis, Louis and Zoey fits the best to the game to fight and survive against the zombie apocalypse. The sound effects are brilliant and the making of other features such has horde and infected noises are more than enough to feel you chill. This game has nonstop thrill and once you get the interest to play it then you will be addicted to the game. Left 4 Dead! You Rule...

This is an epic, atmospheric, and fun game that ended up being my favorite shooter game. The special infected are a fantastic addition to the game! Still, l4d2 is way better, as it exceeds expectations in every way imaginable. The second l4d is my favorite video game of all time.

This game walked so its sequel could run! Don't get me wrong, this is still an enjoyable game, but its sequel surpassed it in every way imaginable!
