It was hailedas one of the greatest multiplayer games, one of the greatest zombie games, andone of greatest games of the decade. Due to its new and thrilling gameplay,critics and consumers alike were able to look past its glaring faults. Exactlyone year later, Valve released Left 4 Dead 2. Its announcement was initiallymet with calamity from fans of the original, and thousands were outraged. Thegaming community was outraged at this rushed sequel, and many viewed it as anexpansion. However, everyones worries were soon cleared when the game wasreleased. This sequel is precisely everything a sequel should be, and more. Itimproves on every aspect of the original, quenching everyones thirst for atrue sequel. Graphics/Audio Left 4 Dead 2 steps it up in the presentation field. There is anoticeable update from the original title. The environments, survivors, andinfected have all been greatly enhanced, visually. The game now has chaptersthat are set in nighttime and daytime situations. The inclusion of sunlitlevels is an extremely welcome addition to the series, for they provide aninteresting new take on scenery and keep the players interest high. One glaring problem with the first game was the severegraphic-quality reduction when playing split-screen. Fans will be pleased toknow that even these graphics have been immensely improved, providing a moreenjoyable experience for those gamers who take pleasure in sharing atelevision.While the scenery in the original did vary, Left 4 Dead 2provides completely new locations for every single one of its twenty-threechapters. Whether youre making your way through a swampy village, sprintingatop a carnivals roller coaster, or fighting through a shopping mall, you willabsolutely never get bored playing this game. Every level takes place in atotally new and creative environment, which shows how innovative a developerValve is. As previously mentioned, the four survivors have also beenrefined in nearly every way. Their facial expressions, lip movements, armgestures, and body language have all become quite noticeably more lifelike. Dueto their wardrobe, it is also easier to distinguish them from each other. Finally, the voice acting and script have been improved tenfold.The voice actors for Left 4 Dead 2 are surprisingly better than the firsttitle. Ellis stories are hilariously spoken, and Nicks reprimands areingeniously well done. Coach, though he is a clear copy of Punch-Outs DocLouis, offers more witty and clever lines, along with Rochelle. The foursurvivors are more unique, deep, and all have more personalities than theprevious four. The increased character depth definitely provides a moreenjoyable experience for all. Story If you have played the original Left 4Dead, you would understand how Valve dealt with the story. Or rather, how theydid not deal with it. In the first game, the complete lack of a story and plotwas something that immensely bothered myself and many others. Fortunately, thismatter has had more attention brought upon itself, and Valve made it their jobto add something of a plot to the series. Although the story wont win any awards, the inclusion of one isenough. The four survivors now have back stories, and their own histories. Eachcharacter is now totally unique and we finally know their backgrounds. Anothermuch-loved addition is the story of the campaigns. In the first Left 4 Dead,all four campaigns were completely separate from each other and started at adifferent point. In Left 4 Dead 2, however, all five campaigns are brilliantlytied together and flow smoothly from one into the other. This addition, unquestionably,pushes the sequel high above its predecessor. Similarly to the previous game, the in-game plot involves you andthree other survivors battling and hacking your way from Point A to Point B,ending in a safe zone, or being rescued. Again, this has become even moreenjoyable due to the intertwined campaigns. Gameplay Although the gameplay from the original Left 4 Dead was highlypraised, Left 4 Dead 2 took everything and made it bigger and better. Perhaps the most noticeable change is the amount of weapons inthe game. The original title simply had six firearms and two grenades. InLeft 4 Dead 2, the total count reaches above thirty, with five times as manyweapons. Similarly to the last game, the firearms are based on a two-tiersystem. The weaker and less powerful weapons include the pump shotgun andsubmachine gun from the original title, as well as the chrome shotgun andsilenced submachine gun. The pump shotgun is essentially the same as it was inthe first Left 4 Dead, as is the submachine gun. The chrome shotgun sprays itsammunition out tighter than the pump shotgun, and each shell deals more damage.The silenced submachine gun deals more damage at close-range than the standardsubmachine gun, but suffers from low-accuracy and annoyingly high kickback.With each guns pros and cons, it is clear that there is a much larger emphasison preference than there was in the original. This is even more noticeable inthe higher level of firearms. The game offers three assault rifles: the combatrifle, AK-47, and the M-16 assault rifle (also known as the assault rifle inthe original). All three possess their own qualities and characteristics, suchas varying levels of accuracy, three-shot burst, kickback, stopping power,damage, reload time, and amount of ammunition. Additionally, there are twoother shotguns: the combat shotgun and the tactical shotgun. The combat shotgunhas very low kickback and is very effective against special infected. Thetactical shotgun, also known as the auto shotgun from the original, releasesmore bullets per shot. Also returning is the hunting rifle, which stands besidethe new sniper rifle; both of which vary in power and reload time. Yet anotherfirearm added is the grenade launcher. This completely new weapon deals anenormous amount of damage to an infected, and is great for taking out largegroups. In addition to these weapons are the pistols, which include a standardhandgun and the magnum, which deals out far more damage than the other handgunbut cannot be dual-wielded. With the wide selection of firearms, Valve hasbrought in much more variety and replay value to the game. There are also two new types of ammunition one can use with theirweapons: explosive ammo and incendiary ammo. The explosive ammo will explodeanything it touches while the incendiary ammo will ignite the infected that itis shot at. Additionally, throughout the game the survivors can obtain laser-sightupgrades, which greatly improve accuracy on all firearms. The pipe bomb and Molotov cocktail return from Left 4 Dead, but anew inclusion in the series is the boomer bile, also known as the bile bomb.Throwing this onto an infected of any kind will instantly draw the commoninfected to them. Now for one of the greatest improvementsto the series: melee weapons. Left 4 Dead 2 introduces the cricket bat,crowbar, frying pan, electric guitar, axe, katana, machete, nightstick, andchainsaw as methods of one-hit kills to all common infected. These meleeweapons are extremely powerful, and will never break. Only the chainsaw willeventually be replaced with a pistol, after running out of gas. Melee weaponsare unbelievingly fun to use, and one will certainly use them nearly as much asthe standard firearms. As in the previous game, health packs and pills can be used toregain health. While the health packs can be used to regain eighty percent oflost health, one can choose to carry a defibrillator instead. These can revivea fallen survivor who has lost all of their health to the infected. When used,the newly-revived character will have half of their total health, fifty. Pills,which are used to temporarily restore some health to a survivor, are joined bythe adrenaline shot. When used, the player runs faster, can heal and revivefaster, move quickly through water, reloads faster, and gains healthtemporarily. Again, Valve has given us many more ways to enjoy Left 4 Dead 2. Lastly, Valve has added three brand new special infected to theseries, while revising the previous five. The Boomer, Tank, Smoker, and Hunterhave all had their appearances modified and look more gruesome, while the Witchis the only one with any major changes. While the witch acts the same at night,during the daytime she is completely different. It is during this time when sheis known as the Wandering Witch, due to her traveling slowly across thechapter. Due to the fact that she is standing, it is much harder to tell herapart from a common infected, but is easier to sneak past and kill. In additionto these five are the Jockey, Spitter, and Charger. The Jockey is a short,humped infected that will jump onto a survivors back and lead them into dangeroussituations such as a Spitters acid, a bunch of common infected, or a Witch.The Spitter will shoot balls of stomach acid out of her large mouth which willexpand into a large pool upon hitting the ground. She will also leave behind asmaller pool of acid after being killed. This acid is extremely dangerous andcan kill a survivor quite quickly. Lastly, the Charger is a new specialinfected that closely resembles the Tank. With one massive arm, it can throw,charge, bash, beat, punch, and grab survivors. This makes it a huge threat, andshould be taken out quickly with top priority. Replayability Left 4 Dead 2 has a total of twenty-three chapters that spreadacross five unique campaigns, as opposed to the previous games twentychapters. The campaigns Dead Center, Dark Carnival, Swamp Fever, Hard Rain, andThe Parish are all somewhat longer and more difficult than all the campaigns inthe first game. Depending on the difficulty, completing all five campaigns cantake six to eight hours, which is roughly two hours more than the originaltitle. While this is still fairly short, the game makes up for it with theonline multiplayer. The campaign can be played online with three other players, andVersus and Survival return with the new Scavenge mode. Survival remainsessentially the same as it was in the last game, while Versus allows one totake control of the three new special infected (in addition to the old four).This has been made even more thrilling and fun than its previous incarnation,and will certainly be one of the most played modes. The completely new Scavengemode is a nod towards the finale in the games first campaign, Dead Center,where four players must collect sixteen cans of gasoline and fill a generatoror car with them, all while avoid the four player-controlled infected.Whichever team wins the most rounds becomes the final, true victor. In additionto these is the Realism mode, which is extremely challenging. Weapons do muchless damage, Witches kill in one hit, the blue outline surrounding the othersurvivors is gone, and it is harder to spot firearms. As in the last game, theonline is one of the main focuses of Left 4 Dead 2, and everyone should at onepoint try it out, for it will provide a satisfying experience to all. Final RecommendationLeft 4 Dead 2 is simply one of the greatest games of the decade.It improves on every single detail of the original, and everyone who loved thefirst will love this one even more. The effects of the boycott are evident, asthis game has received four times as many pre-orders than the original, and hassold nearly as much as the original did over a year in only two months. Andwith promised downloadable content, it appears as if Left 4 Dead 2 will becomebetter and better. Though a relatively new series, its fresh take on the zombieapocalypse and exciting gameplay will be adored by gamers for many years tocome.
