    4.5 Stars out of 5 Stars

    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.

    Thats a lot of zombieZ

    The story follows four pill addicts hallucinating the zombie apocalypse as they stumble around shooting people.

    I joined a match. I got pounced by a hunter. My team ran away. Never has a game been more appropriately named. 10/10 would die alone again.

    Pros: Single & Online Co-op, Funny, Excellent graphics, Nice darky atmosphere, Challenging, Achievements, Masterpiece

    Cons: Lots of vomits in yo face.

    Addictive single player, co-op, and multiplayer action gameplay from the makers of Counter-Strike and Half-Life

    Versus Mode lets you compete four-on-four with friends, playing as a human trying to get rescued, or as a zombie boss monster that will stop at nothing to destroy them.

    See how long you and your friends can hold out against the infected horde in the new Survival Mode

    An advanced AI director dynamically creates intense and unique experiences every time the game is played 20 maps, 10 weapons and unlimited possibilities in four sprawling "movies"

    Matchmaking, stats, rankings, and awards system drive collaborative play

    Designer's Commentary allows gamers to go "behind the scenes" of the game.

    Can you survive the zombie apocalypse?

    In order to survive the zombie apocalypse, you will need many items before doing so: medikits, pain pills, flashlights, molotoves, pipe bombs, gasoline, propane tanks, and guns.Without these items, you will never survive.That goes the same for the incredibly addictive game 'Left 4 Dead'. In the game, you encounter zombies, hordes, witches, hunters, smokers, and tanks.The tank that I am referring to does not involve the army.The tank is basically a giant brute who looks like he used to be an ordinary man before he injected himself with tons of steroids.In this game, surviving the zombie apocalypse is pure fun.You'll be playing for hours and hours non-stop.Surviving the apocalypse hasn't been this much fun in a long time.

    WOW! Nothing better can be expected

    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...

    Awesome

    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.

    Storyline

    • Trivia
      In the original storyline there was a side element in which Francis and Zoey develop a relationship with one another. However, test audiences found their romance to be "distracting" from the main storyline and so it was ultimately cut from the final version.
    • Goofs
      Although throughout the 'No Mercy' campaign you are heading for 'Mercy hospital' and can see it in many areas of the game due to the huge logo at the top of the building, when you finally reach the roof top, the 'Mercy Hospital' logo is missing during the final battle and helicopter escape.
    • Quotes

      Francis: Hey, watch out for that steam pipe.

      Zoey: Man, I love Steam.

      Francis: Yeah, Steam's alright, I guess. I just hate the pipes.

    • Crazy credits
      At the end of each campaign you get movie style credits which begin with "(number) infected were harmed in the making of this game". Unless one of the characters dies during the finale in which case "In memory of (name(s))" appears instead.
    • Alternate versions
      Original German version was heavily censored for violence to secure a "Not under 18" rating from the USK.
