  • Melee Weapons
  • Longer Levels
  • Chainsaws
  • Lots of deformable zombies + scavenge mode + melee weapons = more badass zombie killing.
  • New campaigns are very well designed
  • Explosive new guns and deadly new melee weapons
  • Scavenge mode is a great shortform Versus mode
  • New survivors have more character
  • And new infected have fun abilities
  • Realism mode delivers a new level of tension.
  • Improves on L4D in almost every aspect
  • Three new Special Infected and Uncommon Infected are a welcome addition
  • Two new modes
  • Realism for the hardcore and scavenge for the multiplayerorientated
  • Extremely good replayability
  • Dedicated support from Valve (through patches and ongoing fixes)
  • Close attention to detail

The editors didn't like

  • Much more difficult
  • Seemingly constant flow of enemies
  • Less pacing control means less tension
  • AI teammates can be frustrating
  • A lot less narrative than I expected.
  • PC version had/has a glitch that eats your Steam Achievements
  • Slightly higher difficulty causes some frustration in the beginning
  • Zombie Clowns
  • Needs more weapons. Gameplay essentials essentially unchanged. Source engine looks dated.
  • No major leaps forward in gameplay
  • AI allies can still trip you up.
  • Bots have not really improved
  • They still cannot pick up explosives and have slow reaction times
  • Some levels can be lengthy and frustrating if your team wipes (forcing you to start from the beginning)
  • For those with the censored version
  • A certain atmosphere is lost

  • Abstract:  New friends, more zombies, better apocalypse. That's what Valve has promised, and that's what fans will come to expect when they finally pick up the sequel to one of the best zombie games ever made. Left 4 Dead 2 was developed to capitalized on the ma...

  • Abstract:  I can't count the number of hours I spent enjoying the original Left 4 Dead and after having fun with many hours of Left 4 Dead 2, I can tell that it's going to be my standby game in the coming months for when I don't know what I really wan...

  • Whether or not Left 4 Dead 2 is for you really depends on your level of exposure and affinity for the style of hardcore team-focused gameplay Valve is offering here. If you’re still interested in the gameplay, then you’re going to enjoy every...

  • Abstract:  I love zombies more than a grown man should. And shooters…well, I probably play more in a year than most people will over the course of their existence. And the developers at Valve? These are the brilliant guys behind the iconic Half-Life games that ha...

  • Incredible cooperative and competitive multiplayer is brilliantly designed around the new maps, modes and enemies
  • Wretched single-player AI makes solo game worthless and the original game’s charismatic subtleties will be missed.
  • The original Left 4 Dead made surviving a zombie outbreak more fun anyone thought possible. The formula was dead simple -- four survivors against an unending horde of infected -- but the stellar map designs and perfectly balanced combat made for some ...

  • Abstract:  PC, Xbox 360 My three companions and I move along at an even pace. The automatic pistol in my hand gives me no comfort. The street is littered with the remainder of the chaos that exploded into our lives. People seemed to go mad, attacking others. The ...

  • Abstract:  It seems that as every year goes by, the console market encroaches even further into the sacred realm of the Personal Computer. However, there is one area where the console infection will never reign as king, and that’s first person shooters. Especiall...

  • Abstract:  There's many reasons why post-apocalyptic scenarios appeal to us. Mostly it's due to our innate desire to be a part of something interesting, something unexpected that thrusts us into a position of authority amongst our fellow humans. It's the belief t...

  • More Zombies. More of everything, in fact. Levels are designed better and are longer. The AI seems smarter. It's still just as brutally hard on the high difficulty settings. It's everything we want in a sequel.
  • Although safehouses aren't placed poorly, it's still frustrating to have to replay whole levels from scratch when you get wiped. Sometimes it's not always easy to know where you're going, or even which direction you're facing in. Your...
