Set in a modern day survival-horror universe, the co-operative gameplay of Left 4 Dead (L4D) casts four "Survivors" in an epic struggle against hordes of swarming zombies and terrifying "Boss Infected" mutants. Developed by Turtle Rock Studios and Valve, creators of the Counter-Strike and Half-Life games, the latest AI technology allows for multiplayer games of one to eight players.A new and highly virulent strain of the rabies virus emerges and spreads through the human population with frightening speed. The pandemic's victims become grotesquely disfigured widely violent psychopaths, attacking the uninfected on sight. As one of the "lucky" few apparently immune to the sickness, you, unfortunately, are also trapped in a city crawling with thousands of the bloodthirsty Infected. Alone, you're dead. But together with a handful of fellow survivors, you might just fight your way to safety.Players can play as a Survivor or as one of four types of Boss Infected, each of whom possess a unique mutant ability, such as a 50-foot tongue lasso or a giant belly full of explosive methane gas. The gameplay of L4D is set across four massive campaigns. The zombie population of each mission is choreographed by an AI Director that monitors the human players' actions and creates a unique and dramatic experience for them on the fly.

 One of the best multiplayer games for any console. September 29, 2009
mp101 (USA)
Left 4 Dead, is a great game. There are so many first person shooter games in the world being played (multiplayer) and i have to say I was once addicted to modern warfare...well now things have changed.
positives: The game is very addictive, and fun, its fun to help out teammates, i think thats something valve has accomplished is the expectation of living is keeping your teammates alive. Other fps games like call of duty modern warfare, you really dont care that much how another person is doing or what their health status is because the game itself doesnt give you those details. In other fps games you are on your own and if you decide to help out a teammate that is up to you. In left 4 dead, it is manditory that you work as a team in order to win, and I think thats what makes a great multiplayer game successful is the good gameplay mixed with teamwork.
negatives: The campaign is a mixture of "sigh" and "meh" because the campaign is so repetitive, there is no actual storyline and the game doesnt really take you from beginning to start, you can kind of decide what levels you want to begin and end.The graphics are not the greatest or best, but that shouldnt be an issue because in the end gameplay dominates graphics. The zombies or "infected" they call them are not really that scary or intimidating. This is a plus for me because I dont want to be totally scared when im playing a game. I do however think that the cartoonyness of the zombies is unique. I think if valve had gone f.e.a.r, silent hill or DOOM on gamers, people would be frightfully scared to play the game. That is just a personal preference though as I have played games like f.e.a.r., silent hill series and have never gone back!I figure people have so much crap in their life why add more? Another thing is the bots. The bots are really boring to play with, they are in a way lifeless, but I have to give credit to valve on trying because i know it is not always easy to create a.i.
Overall left 4 dead is a great multiplayer game. The game has 4 options. Survival. Versus.Co-op.Single player.
The majority of the time you spend with this game will probably be versus or survival. I was skeptical at first because i always look at the graphics in a game, which is not important, and turned out to be that left 4 dead could end up being the greatest multiplayer game this year.(thats counting out gears of war,call of duty, halo, etc). Go ahead and pick up your copy today, you will not regret it.

Left 4 Dead is a excellent game overall (4 1/2 out 5 stars). Single player campaign is excellent, but the multiplayer is what makes the game awesome. Only complaint about this game is only four campaigns and a limited amount of weapons and zombie types. Anyone that buys this game will have a blast. Highly recommend to anyone who enjoys first person shooters.
 Got Scammed... September 4, 2009

The quality of the product sold to me was terrible. I did know Valve Games required a CD Key just to play the game. And there is a Limit of one CD key per registration and this product was used. So this resulted in me wasting 25$ because the game did not even allow me to install it due to the CD key restriction. Selling Used Valve games is a fraud and should be Illegal. So what i bought was just a useless CD.
What fun!! August 24, 2009

If you like shooting things then you'll love filling zombies full of holes. One of the most realistic looking games I've played and the physics of how zombies move and react is excellent! I didn't think the online play was all that great but single player is the best and gamers are starting to make their own mods for it.
 Should Win "Most Overrated Game of the Year" August 24, 2009

Listen carefully and you'll hear the zombies say, "Brains". That's because this game lacks any. Even though this game is rated for 17+, it doesn't surprise me that all the positive reviews come from momma's boyz, barely entering puberty.
You get 20 short, short, short, levels.
You kill endless swarms of zombies.
Wash, rinse, repeat.
Should be a $10 game.
No need to enjoy any eye candy because most of the rooms you explore are empty, plus you never get a chance to look around since a swarm hits from nowhere every 5 min. You just want to get to the next "safehouse", a joke as it is just a small room where you heal and load up on ammo, then jump back out into chaos.
There isn't any replay value unless you are the type who can play pong from sun up to sundown. How many millions of zombies can you kill before it gets boring? Pretty quickly if you have "brains". Serious Sam got away with killing hoards while not making it boring with astonishing huge and spectacular levels. Plus the baddies were never exactly the same. L4D has the same exact zombies all the time. Even the bosses get boring.
Cannot sell this game used to anyone, unlike FEAR, since it's Valve; You get associated with the activation code.
I won't even get into the logical and technical issues of this game....
