Left 4 Dead 2 - Review

Expanded and Perfected on the original
from Mildura, VIC, Aus
Pros
Hugely replayable
Superb graphics
Unmissable multiplayer
Cons
Not much story
Best Uses
Adults
Online Gaming
Perfect for 4 friends
Expanded and perfected on the original sums up this game for anyone familiar with Left 4 Dead.
A must for any appreciator of online gaming. It is also a gentle pathway into online for those more accustomed with single player pursuits.
An uncensored version (such as UK or US retail copies) is a must. Censoring removes the graphic violence which (in this game) is critical to gameplay. In game atmosphere is based on graphic horror and is hence this atmosphere is broken down down by the lack of graphic horror.
Single player gamers will miss a connected story while progressing throughout the campaigns. However, after the first play-through (and there will absolutely be additional play-throughs if playing online) the story elements will no longer be missed.
A hysterical amusement with friends and a deep and enjoyable challenge online.
Bottom Line: 5/5
