Left 4 Dead 2

 
 

SUMMARY:

Left 4 Dead 2 (Nov 2009) is the follow-on to the original 2008 coop zombie-survival smash hit. This game focuses on a new group of survivors struggling to escape from the city while avoiding becoming dinner for ravenous zombies. As compared to the original, L4D2 continues with excellent environments and includes some game balancing, along with new weapons and new “special” infected zombies who can make short work of your group if you are not working together. On the XBox 360, of which I have played exclusively, L4D2 includes outstanding split-screen offline coop! If played solo, the game fills out your group with A.I. controlled team mates. What can be frustrating is the lack of ability to issue your A.I. group orders. At times, they can run off and get into trouble, but most mostly they will stick by your side. - Hunt’n
