Every aspect of Left 4 Dead has been refined and tweaked to perfection. It’s addictive and atmospheric, and it contains undoubtedly the best co-op gameplay we’ve seen yet.
The single player part of the game will barely take 4 hours to complete, so you are better off getting a game like Fallout 3 or Call of Duty. For your online needs however, look no further than L4D. As of now, it’s the best online coop game we have played on the Xbox 360, or any other system for that matter.

O primeiro jogo que joguei no meu antigo XBOX 360, foram centenas de horas de diversão com meu irmão e primo, um clássico, melhor que Resident Evil.

I'm a bit nostalgic for this game. In 2008 when it was released I got really sick and this game kept me entertained for weeks while I recovered. Is it a perfect shooter? No, there is no such thing. I've heard some want to compare it to COD just because it's a FPS. This is not COD. It's funny how tunnel visioned people become, wanting every game to be like their favorite game. It is it's own thing. That would be like comparing **** to mangos: both are fruits but completely different. There's also complaints about lack of story. Seriously? It's not that kind of game either. The whole point of left 4 dead is that each campaign is its own episode, like a movie. I found it unique and wanted to replay it to get a different experience. Someone complained about zombie AI. Exactly what is it you want? This is a zombie shooter. This game gives you variety unlike other zombie games. Sure you play the same levels, but the hordes will come from different areas, and special infected are well circulated throughout the levels. You never know what's around corner. This is a fun game, not a deep game. It's not supposed to have dozens of cut scenes, super deep characters, tons of dialogue. It's pure action fun. I enjoy its simplicity. Yes, the loading screens are long. I don't mind because it gives me time to cool my heels, get up and grab a soda or something. There's witty banter between your team during the campaign. I do think it might've been cool to have included in game the character backgrounds, where they came from and how they found each other. The game just doesn't call for it, though.
The only frustrating element I found was the NPCs if you play solo. Don't get me wrong, I did not have online access when I first got this so I played it solo and still loved it. But sometimes your NPCs are useless when you are incapacitated or they fall off a building and die.
I have a soft spot for older games. It was all about simple fun, not trying to make every game into an epic RPG-like experience which in my opinion slows and stunts the fun **** like this. If Left 4 Dead tried this I think it would be a different game, people would've compared it to Resident Evil or something and would've gotten lost in the shuffle. Instead, it stands out.

Looks like a straight run and gun horror shooter, but it's filled with ideas which will be copied for years. [Feb 2009, p.68]
Left 4 Dead transcends the black and white of 'single player' or 'multiplayer' – suddenly there's a realisation that four players have amalgamated into a single, unified body during play. It's an incredibly exhilarating feeling, and other games offering co-op modes that amount to little more than running and gunning together suddenly appear a little juvenile. Left 4 Dead has indefinitely raised the bar for true co-operative play.
If you are even remotely a zombie movie fan, this title deserves a chance as many zombies will be killed in the playing of his game; and that is always a good thing.
The online-focus and lack of plot are sure to rub some people the wrong way, but FPS-fans and zombie aficionados have never played anything quite like Left 4 Dead. It is a near-perfect mixture of decayed ambiance and relentless pacing that pushes the boundaries of sanity to the breaking point.
Yes, shooting hordes of zombies is fun, even more so with three other friends. But the game doesn't have anything to offer beyond that simple activity, and it most likely stop being relevant the moment someone makes a zombie FPS with a little more depth.
Played with my 2 other best friends. Always had one cpu playing which made it hilarious. I always said this was my favorite game all time. The random generated levels made it so fun to keep playing.

A cult classic for zombie games. The maps/missions are very fun, the zombies can easily overwhelm. The best zombie for me is the witch as the first time it started crying I foolishly started going to it and it got me off guard. Can get quite repetitive and not being able to aim down site is quite annoying. Just a good, basic zombie game.

Left 4 Dead is a decent enough game. The gun-play is competent, the graphics are solid, and the game is very fun to play. The problem here is the severe lack of content. But the game is still a blast to play with friends. L4D2 is much better though, and I would definitely recommend that over this. If you still want to get this for whatever reason, I think max price would be 12$. I know that sounds like I despise the game, but the content you are getting here is sorely lacking, and 12$ is a fair price for a game with amazing core mechanics, but lacking in meaty play value.

im suprised a company like valve a company who made games like half life 1 and 2 and Portal come out with such a half assed game , this is such a bare bones game basically there meeting musta went some thing like this "i got a idea lets make a game with zombies and make it 4 player co-op" any thing els "no thats it dont need bosses or a story , well make it beatable in alittle over 3 hours and just toss in a few guns and call it a day." this game should have been released as a budget game for like $20 . cause thats about what it looks and plays like . this game the way it is probubly woulda been great 6 years ago on the originla xbox i mean the graphics already look like the belong there. its just way to short i mean to beat a game in 3 hours just shouldnt be . even on the hardest diffuculty me and my friends had this done in 4.5 hours . after i beat it on both normal and the hardest diffuculty which was 2 days i had no desire to want to play it again . its like ok why would i want to its the same thing through all 4 lvls run to a vehicle kill the same zombies over and over with a grand total of 5 higher type zombies like the tank and witch which arnt difuctlt to put down. this just feels so rushed and just slapped together. this game is at best a rental and thats if you REALY REALY REALY like killing zombies . this game was a waste of $60 and valve should be ashamed for charging that much for this half assed game.

I hardly ever re-sale my X360 games but after a couple of weeks I immediately brought it back. It's interesting how valve tried to make a game that's made to be repeated but it doesn't work like that. The campaigns last around an hour each at most, versus is dull, and although the "Director" changes zombie and horde spawns, it doesn't do much else. Not so impressive when it's put like that, is it? Gunplay is pretty bad, just hip-firing forever. Characters have some charm, but Francis? No. Hate him. This game isn't worth your time. Poor gameplay. Poor plot. Poor graphics. Get out while you still can.

Summary Fight together...or die alone. 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, wildly violent psychopaths, attacking the uninfected on sight. One of the "lucky" few apparently immune to the sickness, you, un...
