Zombies have once again invaded our world. The infected have reached the south, and the heroes of Left 4 Dead 2 have only one mission: stay alive. The highly anticipated 1st person shooter hit stores on November 17th, and has already received high praise from many people within the gaming industry.
The game takes place throughout the murky south, most notably in the New Orleans area. It follows four survivors, (Ellis, Coach, Nick, and Rochelle), as they cut their way through millions of zombies. Wielding all the original weaponry, the creators also added the melee weapons feature, meaning that such weapons as the axe, machete, guitar, frying pan, and samurai sword are available to cut enemies down to size. As for the enemies, there are two distinct zombie classes: the common infected and the special infected. The common are just regular zombies, but the special infected take a great many forms, including an overweight zombie called a boomer, a steroid filled zombie known as a Tank, and a creepy teenage girl zombie who cries out to her victims known as a Witch. The gameplay hosts some of the most realistic visual effects seen on a video game, and the audio from the zombies and your surroundings is so real that you are constantly hanging on the edge of your seat as your playing. The game is run by a computer program known as Zombie A.I. 2.0, which makes every aspect of the game different every time you play through. The game hosts five campaigns, and several multiplayer functions, which allow the player to either fight alongside other players around the world or to become a special infected zombie and attack other players through any of the five campaigns.
Whether you enjoying killing zombies left and right, or dominating the human survivors as a blood-thirsty zombie, this game is a must have this holiday season. Featuring spectacular special effects, top of the line computer programming and action packed horror fun, I rate this game a 10 out of 10, for it defies the odds and has not disgraced the original, highly praised Left 4 Dead game, but has instead built upon its enormous success.
