*/Yet while unquestionably excellent and powerfully addictive, Left 4
Dead never becomes intoxicating to the point that you realise you
haven't eaten all day and you've got a review due tomorrow. A single
ninety minute campaign is generally enough to slake your thirst for
blasting zombies -- for a few hours at least -- and should be easy
enough to organise between a group of friends.
And friends are what you're really going to need if you want to get the
very best out of Left 4 Dead. Playing with the bots the game is a shadow
of its potential greatness and the higher difficulty settings will
remain strictly off limits, but get three friends together with
microphones and Left 4 Dead is possibly the best multiplayer game ever
-- not something that we say lightly.
Tactics are hastily arranged, cries for help as boss infected attack are
screamed down mics, panic sets in and heart rates rise as wave after
wave of zombies appear. The palpable feeling of accomplishment you get
after finishing a tough campaign together is something that no other
game can offer.
It's fair to say you can judge a game by its "remember the bit where"
factor. You're talking to friends about a favourite game, when a memory
of a particularly awesome moment you've shared pops out and reminds you
all just how great that game was. Left 4 Dead is full of such moments.
It's an ever changing, ever challenging and ever tense multiplayer
masterpiece which will captivate for as long as you've got friends to
play it with./*
*Cheers guys!
