Amazon.com Product Description
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.

5 out of 5 stars Left 4 dead is amazing   November 18, 2008
This has been the best game I have played in a long long time. I can only compare it to when Doom II came out. Nothing since has been thins enjoyable.
The ambiance is good, the little details are also well thought out.
you limping when injured, taking time to heal, the music changing when a big fight is about to happen. Just beautiful.
This is a game that has been waiting to be made.
Hats off to the developers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If I had to only purchase 1 game this year I would trade in crysis, bioshock, spore etc etc for this one



5 out of 5 stars GREAT ZOMBIE MOVIE VIDEO GAME FINALLY!!!!!   November 18, 2008

I played through the first level solo with three Computer AI Controlled comrads and it was good. I then, twenty minutes after the rooftop battle, played through the same first level with my 12 year old daughter on two player co-op mode with two computer AI comrads and the game wemt up a whole three notches higher. I was attacked by the long tongue mutant three times and we all got threw up on by another infected mutant almost ten times. My screen was a mucus translucent green. The hordes attacked us more often in swarms than when I went through the game solo. 28 day, weeks, months,...hell whatever, these guys hit the nail right on the head with this type of game. I recommend this game to all uuber gamers out there. Oh, if you are the blast away and destroy everything in your sight type of player then you will wind up killing you team mates and die like Bill did in front of the hospital by the wirch that jumps out of the ambulance.. If you think you can go through this game minus the other AI or human controlled players then you are a certified idiot. You will die faster than the economy. Team work is paramount and I wish Capcom would take notice, because the melee attacks are Good in this game. Three strikes and a zombie is down. Smooth controls and a cool head are all you need in this game. I just hope they make the four player option offline a reality on the PS3 incarnation.
