I don't play video games much due to work and school, but this game is just ridiculously addicting. My fiance's little brother introduced it to me when we visited an internet cafe, and without realizing it, we spent 4 hours playing the game. I went back there to play it a second time, and promptly bought a disk to play on Steam at home. Wikipedia offers a very comprehensive account of the game play, production, and history: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left_4_Dead_2 -- I will try to go over my experiences with L4D2 in summary. So, about the actual game! L4D2 is mainly a multiplayer game in which you shoot hordes of zombies (called "infected") that come racing to find you and the other three survivors you're traveling with (the other three can either be PC-controlled, other Steam/LAN players, or, if you're willing to figure out split screen configs, two player on one PC w/ a Xbox 360 controller plugged in: http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=745113&highlight=Split+Screen). Depending on what mode you're playing, you can win in different ways (for example, reaching the different safehouses, which completes a stage, and ultimately finishing a campaign by completing the tasks the game requires you to do to signal help or break through to escape). L4D2 is predominantly played online, where you can play differing modes (campaign, survivor, versus, and scavenge). Co-operative play is strongly encouraged, if not essential-- there are special infected that have the ability to grab, gorge, charge, spit, slice, or smash you to death... and without the help of your teammates, you will certainly become incapacitated, and eventually die if not revived in time (again, stay very very close to your teammates). Much of the fun is unlocking the achievements on Steam. This aspect of gameplay makes for a more interesting set of decisions while going through the levels. It's important that you meet the system requirements for the game-- if you can run the game on a 32 bit system, it is probably better, since it takes up less RAM while playing (1GB min. req. for 32/86x v. 2GB min. req. for 64x). I am actually playing L4D2 on a MacBook using Bootcamp and Windows XP SP3 to take advantage of the graphics card. The game works flawlessly with great graphics thus far (I've played mainly campaign and one session involving playing as the special infected). I highly recommend this game for anyone who enjoys first person shooters and has always wanted to work co-op, yet have a good opportunity to shoot many an enemy (unlike in Day of Defeat, Counter Strike, or Team Fortress, where you're restricted to only shooting the finite number of players available). I do not recommend this game for the family, little children, easily impressionable teens, or anyone who is sqeamish about blood, gore, killing, or a zombie apocalypse. Otherwise, this game gets a 9.8/10. The missing 0.2 is due to the fact that there's no way to save unless you reach a safehouse. But that's just me being nit picky...Read full review
What I like most about this game is the fact that it's a zombie game. It also has a variety of multiplayer game play and very interactive. This is very much so worth it when it's on sale (Which usually means that it's only about 5 dollars for windows. I play it on my mac and it's still amazing! The mac version runs very smooth and everything works perfectly. Although a bit old now the story line is still pretty awesome and when it's on sell it's a pretty good investment.
A action packed Zombe game can also enter the internet and play games with fellow gamers on line has levels hard to easy you pick which level you want to play good graphics, made by the leading software company if your into action gaming this is for you, go out and kill alot of zombes now.
Down in the bayou of Louisiana, all hell has broken loose in this second entry of the multiplayer zombie-fest. Players assume the role of four new survivors, each with their own personality and new dialog. The game leads them through the southeastern region of the US -- from Savannah, Georgia through the bayou country, and climaxing in New Orleans' French Quarter.This co-operative action horror FPS takes you and your friends through the cities, swamps and cemeteries of the Deep South, from Savannah to New Orleans across five expansive campaigns. You'll play as one of four new survivors armed with a wide and devastating array of classic and upgraded weapons. In addition to firearms, you&'ll also get a chance to take out some aggression on infected with a variety of carnage-creating melee weapons, from chainsaws to axes and even the deadly frying pan. You'll be putting these weapons to the test against (or playing as in Versus) three horrific and formidable new Special Infected. You'll also encounter five new "uncommon" common infected, including the terrifying Mudmen.Read full review
It would load but since it is linked to Steam,No way not on my machine again. Most likely works fine but will not use it. Sorry. Looks nice though.
