Left 4 Dead Review (IGN)

[joshuaventura18]

I love this game it is so fucking good

[BanjokazooieBeta]

lol.... get it for pc. nuff said

[slowdude]

PC > 360.

[Fallout3fananza]

I need extream help with this because my account got hacked and I sent steam a picture of my cd key and everything to prove that I own the game but there just not helping!

[MrMrfazle]

the multilayer is fucking addicting

[Spluttergubben]

i love this game so i give it 11 outta 10

[MrDiston12]

@Spluttergubben lol right on

[Dominator1212]

3.8 outta 5 to me

[ThomasINDs]

Compared to today, what he says about there being limited scenarios is now invalid. There are TONS of custom campghins out there now :D

[primus202]

nice nazi joke

[Robothamster101]

this game is really fun and VS mode is the best, although it came out 2yrs ago its still a very good game

[Hellfiremh]

left 4 dead has a story if people cant see it then maybe they shouldnt be playing it

[EpicWalkthroughs]

HAHAHA at 1:29 hes talking about how bad the game is with bots but he him self is playing with bots

[TheSunzuki1983]

I bought this game a year ago when I got an xbox 360 and I played it for about a year. One of the best games i've ever played.

[richy4123]

mate this aint scary except for the zombies (me sis thot)

[JapDaZomby]

The campaigns are way longer than 30 mins, especially if you're playing versus online and you don't die straight away.

[DarkFalconFilms]

can anyone tell me if this is scary im not allowed to get a scary game cuz of my sister

[thestarwarsgeek]

@DarkFalconFilms

Depends, I never found it scary, but to younger people. It will be scary.

[doodoodudex]

@DarkFalconFilms just lock your room door, if theres no lckable door tell her to go the freik away

[lanceknightmare]

I feel like ign missed the mark on this one. Yes, this game is enjoyable online. But, the problem isn't the online play with friends. The main problem with this game. Is online play. With random people that you don't know. There objectives are mainly to show off to the other people. Fighting for kills and rushing every level. Sometimes kicking you if you stop to enjoy the level.

[legomad666]

Yes its sad theres alone 4 levels but l4d 1 and 2 i can play over and over and not get bored of it. In left 4 dead 2 its better for achivments such as geting the knome out of the fair. My point is its a great game.

[JonHakkers]

the reviewer is reallllllly excited.....

[dresskid]

i think that L4D2 i better...

[JordenSpax5]

It is better alot more weapons maps and crap but seriously, l4d 1 is sad. No gore, no melee weapons etc. Its just sad.

[nufflebomb]

@dresskid i like L4D1 better,the campains in L4D2 suck

[psychomantis108]

np

thats what I did XD

[psychomantis108]

probably google can you run it that site really helped me remember if its red dont imediatly assume you cant run it if you can fit your thumb into the gap between pass and where yours is then yes you can run it if its abit further maybe

if theres a gap the siz of a pencil or something then no chance

[hmlo123]

whats the song in intro

[psychomantis108]

go into the left 4 dead files and try and find it in music its called when the monsters go away or something

[Undeadguy95]

I have played this games seens its realesed date and i still play it

[nine9live5]

from 0:00 - 0:04

velvet revolver - slither

[rbatheNORSEMAN]

Did he say the zombies are the new Nazi's? What a faggot. Who brings up Nazis unless you're playing CoDWaW's Nazi Zombies mode.

[cmdusty01]

i know wat u mean pal. i was like WTF shut up

[rbatheNORSEMAN]

@cmdusty01 I know dude. And whoever gave my comments a thumbs down, give this one a thumbs down too, 'cause suck my cock!

[cmdusty01]

i gave ya a thumbs up :)

[rbatheNORSEMAN]

@cmdusty01 haha thanks.

[Sinic4]

Zoey is a spoiled princess? WTF is this guy saying? She's nothing compared to a "princess", Rochelle is the damn spoiled princess, Zoey is a tomboy. If they don't say that to Rochelle I'm gonna laugh. :D

[Sinic4]

Oh and this guy dumb, each campaign takes about 1 hour, he's saying it takes 2 hours to beat all campaigns, it takes 4 hours. -.-

I hate IGN sometimes. :/

[Filo011]

can this be played on xbox live?would be awsome if it was

[sirshmooppy]

yes don't buy it now get left 4 dead 2

[MetalDude87100]

@sirshmooppy l4d2 got a lower review on xplay

[Sinic4]

Yep it is.

[rbatheNORSEMAN]

Uh, yeah. But, if anything, get Left 4 Dead 2. Or, both Left 4 Dead 1 and 2! haha

[thestarwarsgeek]

@Filo011

Uh, YES.

[filamboy18]

how long is this game ?

is it only good on multiplayer /

should i buy this ?

i dont have xbox live :(

[blazedelite]

na wait until left 4 dead 2 to come out, its fun but without xbox live you will get really bored

[FlamingHotKittens]

The game is extremely short. Takes you about 2 hours to beat and you can tell that it's made for multiplayer. But if you have 2 controllers and a couple of friends split screen is hell of fun.

[urukzpower]

2 hours? if you play on easy, even every campaign takes 1 hour each, so that at least 4 hours, when rushing. and as you can hear, the layout changes every time

[EasyEAV]

i love this game

[liambannin]

I have never played left 4 dead before, but i might buy the new one, this looks pretty fun, a proper multiplayer game.

[PabasamDee]

This friggin reviewer sounds like a zombie.

[1257bassplaya]

this game is the reason i want an xbox 360

[deadlydevil1234]

buy a pc instead u get much more FREE content + u can download custom campaigns made by people outside valve pretty sweeet

[1257bassplaya]

ok ill take your word, but i have this thing

thing about pc games, i think its not 'genuine' enough than console, what im trying to say is that i just like controllers

[InsaneShane23]

hmm I cant w8 for left for dead 2

[1257bassplaya]

hellzya

[Visser0x]

No one hardly talks in left 4 dead but good game.

[oSuicideComando]

this is definatly a game thats best when you play with friends, otherwise it doesnt have the same effect if your on your own.

[drealgrin]

still playing and LOVING IT

[Gamer45413]

does anyone else but me hear a tank die when the plane crashes

[skiny998]

now that i replay it.. it sort of sounds like it

[RiftRaft123]

This game was very boring and very repetitive. Everyone lied talking about how its all different and shit and I got bored after the first 10 minutes. I was like man this is boring. Shoot shoot shoot killing zombies to the end of the game with the same weapons and stuff. Glad I only played it at my friend house becuz I was actually considering buying this.

[UltiMario1337]

Dude, you're a fag. Of course if you only played 10 god damn minutes you'd be bored. Like EVERY SINGLE GAME OUT THERE, it starts slow. USE YOUR BRAIN.

[RiftRaft123]

Dude!, your a fag. Most of the good games kick ass after the first ten minutes. (CODs, HALOs, GTAs, Mass Effect, Assasin's Creed, Gears of War) But every mission on this game was just shooting up zombies with the same weapons. I mean GD put some excitement in it. I fought the special zombies too the damn witch and shit. It wasn't fun. DAMN TAKE THAT DICK OUT YOUR ASS, I HAVE THE RIGHT TO MY OPINION.

[Visser0x]

it starts out very fast pace.

[yopoiz]

Louis and Zoey r da best

[AliminiumHydroxide]

agreed

[gearsfan165]

the only thing i hate is all the glitchers its so fucking annoying especially in survival i dont get how ppl have fun glitching its so boring to just sit there it takes no skill at all either its pathetic i rly get pissed when 5 year olds r like "hey man u know that glitch for the boathouse, oh u dont well i do" its so annoying they think its cool that they know a glitch or something

[sk8luv333]

dude there retarted to them a "scenerio" is a chapter cuz seriously it takes me about half an hour to pass 1 chapter.....

[hmlo123]

wats the first song

[nickRLR]

slither by velvet revolver

[evo35400319]

gettin this tomoz

[WhyteLis21]

which is better pc or xbox version besides the graphics

[BrenBot1995]

PC!!! and u should get a 360 controller to play it as well. the only bad thing about L4D on the PC. is u have to download it no matter what, but u do get loads of updates and modes.

[darkbro32]

Why would you use a 360 controller. A keyboard and mouse is the best control scheme for fps

[BrenBot1995]

well he suggested xbox so im guessing hes a console gamer. i have trouble convincing my friends to get this game for PC so i tell em' to u a 360 controller

[darkbro32]

Ye fair enough. But it just baffles me why you would want clunky controls :P

[Ironfruit]

I can see, slightly, where he is looking from. I do prefer the PC mouse and keyboard, but some people like the 'heavier' feel you get from using a controller. Though, the 360 controller is flawed at best.

[liambannin]

......... *laughs at failure*

[darkbro32]

Why laugh at the truth. Fps are made for pc. Even if they dont realise them for it.

[gearsfan165]

hey guys im planning on buying this game soon and i love survival mode but not a lot of my friends have it so if anyone wants to play message me but im only looking for ppl that will actually play and have good teamwork and I HATE EXPLOITERS and if u dont know wut that is its ppl trying to glitch and cheat by getting like 25 min on survival

[FatMan1191]

im going to rent this 2morrow it looks crazy as hell

[themazindude]

this game is so awesome when you play it with your friends it never gets old

[friedbisquits]

i wish i had xbox live!!!!

[DarkGalakinator]

im getting l4d 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Stinky244]

DONT! They just milk your money with it! 1 was good but 2 came too early and promised additions for never came. Are you really going to waste another 50+ bucks on a game based on promises that will never arrive?

[KnightOfDaFunk]

you forgot the black guy or is not politically correct to mention that hes a zombie movie streotype huh?

[midprod]

I did NOT like this game and Im a huge zombie fan, this was just "Oh look Im being bum rushed by 50 million zombies again" you turn a corner "Oh look Im being bum rushed by 50 million zombies again" its so repetative, and is it just me or am I the only one that thinks slow shambleing zombies are scarier and cooler?

[YoshiFan100]

i areg so much zombies are sopost to be mindless dead undead shambling flesh seaking guls and the only way to kill them is a bullet in de head and the zombie be dead and not blow the living fuck out of them i say ramaro should make a zombie game it would stick to most likly be good i want the reaction to be shit there coming not damn its runing towrds us and he brout friends

[midprod]

EXACTLY! I say Romero and Max Brooks need to collaorate to make a zombie game! Im thinking the latest GTA game meets Romeros Dawn Of The Dead, now THAT would be kick ass!

[KingOfZilla]

well thats why we have dead rising. yeah that be excelent, the two greatest minds of zombie media working together! now thats somthing to dream about. speaking of which i hope they somehow get ramaro or tom savine to work on the world war z movie. that'd be a dream come true.

[KingOfZilla]

no your not. i think the slow shambleing zombies are scarier because you dont hear them and they don't scream like a twilight fan. yeah this game doesn't look to good and i dont have any intent on buying it or the sequel for that matter.

[UnrealWeapons]

if it is moving slow lol u can just run circles around it, fast moving zombies make you think on your feet.

[gearsfan165]

so far in every review ive seen that show the credits it always says in memory of francis

[gamingdonnie]

Wow the beginning he is so racist.

[jvandervalk]

takes more like 4 hours to beat the single player mode

[Skittles9o7]

how many players is the co-op? 2 or 4?

[44pres11]

The co-op is four players.

[SuperG838]

would this game run on a laptop?

[CCMKBProductions]

Yes, but it would be hard to use.

[Tehl33tcorpse]

Superg838 yes of course it would, provided your laptop met the requirements....

[Karateworm]

If I run orange box on my PC fine. Would this run ok?

[777677467767469]

i think so... cuz em both work well on mine.... :D

[jensbolle]

Versus mode 4 life!!

[protossoverlord09]

left 4 dead rocks!!!!!!!

[jonagwoo]

hahahaha

[stompee500]

lol i still cant believe this is made with the half life 2 engine..its old but its a freakingly awsome engine to actualy support this.

[KillinU4fun]

its actually a bit tweaked version of orange box engine

[Searlze101]

is this splitscreen co op?

[jonagwoo]

yup

[jeffferguson69]

dude call of duty 4s graphics are amazing and the game is old too

[Er0y]

They're not "amazing", but I must say they are much better than mediocre games like Halo 3.

[stompee500]

cod 4s graghics are good but there are some aspects that let that down..if the building wants to be good than the ground texture needs to be crap..

[delequint]

yea and the guy above you jeffferguson69 says their not

[WalkAroundDude]

What the fuck?

Don't put your name on shit that isn't yours, buddy.

[delequint]

graphics are shit and every body looks like plastic compare this fps graphics to cod 4/5 holy shit

[stompee500]

dude..valve never wants a game they make to be realistic..things like half life 2 and especially tf2 were only made for fun..its not graphics its game play retard..

[delequint]

omg the people are plastic look at the hand ha ha they basicy took nazi zombies from cod made every body plastic got rid of recoil and made it into a game with a very short campaign you twat

[stompee500]

dude this is mch better than nazi zombies...i dont care about the fucking plastic...

[Painkiller300]

Nazi Zombies came out with World at War Which came out after L4D. so technicly your whole argument is invalid.

[Inframus]

lol, true

[Museman05]

Thank you stompee, finally someone with sense on youtube!... the point of this game is to sacrafice gameplay for graphics which in my view is a winner, i would rather play n64 games like goldeneye with my mates than something that looks like the mona lisa because lets face it, theres only so much you can do with a painting. This game is excellent, a good laugh and just because it doesnt look like a diamond doesn't neccessarily mean that it isn't one.

[Tehl33tcorpse]

You mean sacrifice graphics for gameplay right?

[Museman05]

Yeah graphics for gameplay lol. cheers man!

[Tehl33tcorpse]

Is this game worth buying? Never played the demo i only got told about it once you could no longer download it =I so not sure if i should pick it up or not, is it worth the money?

[itubeyoudont]

well depends.. are you stupid?

[Tehl33tcorpse]

Erm, no I'm not... (Most of the time)

[Museman05]

Yes it is worth every penny, exspecially online!!!! its a good laugh with a few beers.

[krzyxbne]

im interested in this game. i know its been out for some time now.

anyways, ive tried COD4 and the thing i dont like about it is that you cant play splitscreen on live unlike gears of war and halo3.

my question is, can this be played splitscreen on live?

[camboallen]

yes it can

[drphilmcshizzle]

should i get this or fallout 3

[Naruoc]

........ get this if you rely on multiplayer. hands down

get fallout 3 if you want single player, lots of missions and sercets to unlock

[frantixsx]

fallout 3

[rocketballa4life]

do they make mgs4 for xbox? cuz if they don't, it would suck to be an xboxer

[EpiclsME]

Wow PS3 is crap, u dont know wat ur talking about. Are they making Gears 2, Banjo Kazooie, Left 4 Dead, Blue Dragon, Fable 2 or any of the Exclusive DLC's on Xbox Live Marketplace, such as for Fallout 3 or GTA4 for PS3? No? PS3 is absolute crap, go play MGS4 for your PS3 cause thats all you got.

[Karateworm]

I don't normally get stuck into fanboyish stuff. But you are spouting complete and utter rubbish....

[CCMKBProductions]

Xbox rocks

[garin1]

damn i love this game!

[GoldenValorForm]

did he say 28 days later was a zombie movie?? HA yea right, good joke!

[Iwes2k9I]

GoldenValorForm 28 days later is a zombie movie... and is a pritty good one

[GoldenValorForm]

no it's not, xombie's are undead corpses, and in 28 days/weeks later, they are INFECTED not undead

[darkestmerc]

there are many zombie movies where they are 'infected' not undead. Resident Evil is a great example of this.

[GoldenValorForm]

then they are not zombies, the deffinition is a corpse brought back from the dead and is in a state of re-animation, if they are not undead, then they are not zombies, they are only infected

[darkestmerc]

your not listening to me... THEY ARE NOT REALLY ZOMBIES but they are considered to be zombies. Like I said, Resident Evil is a great example of this, this game is an example of this. They are written down and considered zombies infected or not.

[xDroidArmyx]

this game is good but can get boring pretty fast. not much content to this game. its fine the first couple of times but can get old fast. problem with this game is that you almost have to play this game with friends to have fun. by yourself it gets boring

[RoadToDawn51]

Wow.....when you asked that question, your name suddenly became ironic.

But I don't see reason to give you thumbs down just for asking a question.

[TerryAdam1993]

cause ps3 is gay

[RoadToDawn51]

....*facepalm*

*reads again*

....*facegun*

I had no idea this video was flooded with x-bot fanboys. I love the 360, but there's no reason to disapprove of another's tastes. gtfo

[laffrenere]

Any new expansion levels for this game on the horizon that are downloadable, or that you can purchase on cd?

[nancyboy07]

no but you dont need it

if youve ever played it youll see why

its so much fun you dont even need more scenarios

[What360Game]

Ah, yes, there is.

[Benc1213]

no it will never be for the ps3

[efeez1986]

Sounds like wishful thinking to me. Valve has already said that EA wants to make a port for the PS3 so I wouldn't say never.

[Ryanw231]

thats kinda fuckin negative they already said it was on june 5th 2009

[Cowlicker14]

Nope, PC,360 only sorry bro

[SayAnything8]

this game look great

[DJhedgehammer]

4 scenarios with 5 sub-chapters.. and 30 minutes per scenario..?? was this guy playing on normal or something? i swear it took me (on multiplayer normally) around 3 to beat each scenario (blood harvest being my personal fav!!)

[feind232]

yea dude the least amount of time it took me to beat a scenario was about an hour and 15 minutes, this guy must have been rushing on easy

[thepoopman]

Could this guy be more dry?

[DJhedgehammer]

i kno...

[gomerA7X]

get both duh

[xyrmomx187]

soooooo......The hard question is

Gears of War 2 of Left 4 Dead

[Skaterdude9594]

Gears 2 lasts longer...

[somekindofafroperson]

the limited scenarios isn't as big of a deal as they said. valve promised constant updates both to console and computer which will include brand new scenarios and this will be a constant thing sort of like what the did with the pc tf2 and what they will soon do with the console version.

[someotherguy1337]

yeah, who knows maybe there will be a veichle based senario or something like that

[feind232]

they said they would update the xbox version of tf2 but im still waiting on that sandvich...

[somekindofafroperson]

the forum only said that they were making a new map for both computer and the xbox and the guy from valve didnt say anything about the character updates. i hope the come with it though

[TheLastSpartanMC]

It got a (insert LEft 4 dead ign review points here.)

[xPHANtastic]

2 hours of gameplay? Thats only if you are playing on easy. If you were playing in expert it would take longer than 2 hours.

[mrjoecool]

omg this guys voice is SO BORING i want to commit suicide just listening to him ,its SOO forced it makes me sick. Why cant he just TALLLK, like how he would with friends. What makes them pick these reviewers, i could fart out a more intersting voice. But, this game, looks mentally good, i just hope it has splitscreen.

[bigkilla1994]

idk if i want to get it now....if i got it on the pc then maybe but idk

[MoonLoaf]

What kind of review doesn't include a score? Goddamn IGN sucks cock.

I think the pc version is the best option here because of the endless possibility of mods... the xbox version will have to wait for DLC to come out...

But, 2 hours only???!!! :(
