By Disqoburn (sofacinema.co.uk) Read the full review

Once you know how to jump, duck, shoot and reload, you're good to go. There's nothing complex or puzzling about this game at all, and it's a lot of good fun. The levels are never exactly the same thanks to the AI director, which will randomly spawn...

Left 4 Dead (Xbox 360)

By stuffmagazine (stuff.tv)

Zombies aren't known for their originality, but this terrifying slasher has a few aces up its torn, bloody sleeves

Terrifically fast-paced and frightening. Excellent team-based gameplay. No two games are the same

Not much fun for single players. Individual campaigns are short

Left 4 Dead Xbox 360 Review

By Simon Wigham (consoleob.com)

Despite its cinematic inspirations, Left 4 Dead doesn't try to be anything but a game. Essentially it's a zombie blaster, with the emphasis on co-op play, where any form of narrative was clearly an afterthought for the beloved developer: Valve.

Left 4 Dead occasionally feels too repetitive and is minimalist with its options, but has as much memorable moments as it does members of the undead. It's a well tailored co-op experience with some great design flourishes, that are a wonderful...

Left 4 Dead 2: The Passing

By Chris Watters (gamespot.co.uk)

A solid new campaign and the promise of weekly gameplay variants make The Passing a good choice for anyone hankering for some fresh Left 4 Dead 2 action.

Mutations mode offers fresh weekly content ; Witty new banter between survivors

Campaign feels very familiar

Left 4 Dead 2: The Passing Review | Xbox 360

By Quintin Smith (eurogamer.net)

Torchlight.

So, Left 4 Dead 2 add-on The Passing boasts at least one exciting new way for you and your team to get massacred. More appealingly perhaps, it also features a new gun, a new uncommon infected, a new Mutations menu option which offers a different game...

In case you hadn't heard (brace yourself), the upcoming downloadable content for L4D1 requires a player to sacrifice himself or herself for the group, and The Passing reveals the canonical version of who dies

Left 4 Dead 2

By Chris Watters (gamespot.co.uk)

With exciting new content across the board and plenty of it, Left 4 Dead 2 outdoes its predecessor and makes the zombie apocalypse an absolute blast.

New campaigns are very well designed ; Explosive new guns and deadly new melee weapons ; Scavenge mode is a great short-form Versus mode ; New survivors have more character, and new infected have fun abilities ; Realism mode delivers a new level of...

No major leaps forward in gameplay ; AI allies can still trip you up

Left 4 Dead

By Brandon Hofer (totallygn.com)

Left 4 Dead

By Duncan Geere (wired.co.uk)

Valve is a developer with an incredible heritage. In the 13 years it has been in existence, it has released very few games, but every single one has been huge. Half-Life, Half-Life 2, Team Fortress, Counterstrike, Day of Defeat and most recently Left 4...

Almost endlessly replayable multiplayer that is one of the best on the market

Suffers from being a little too difficult at certain junctures

Left 4 Dead is a co-operative zombie shooter. You team up with three other people (or fewer, if you don't mind the computer controlling some of the characters) and attempt to escape a city under siege by zombies. You and the other 'survivors' battle...

Left 4 Dead for Xbox 360

By Anmol Kapoor (ld2.ciol.com)

Left 4 Dead marks a redefining moment for the survival-horror genre

Adrenaline pumping co-op gameplay ; Unrelenting challenges ; Tight controls

A tad dense AI allies

The makers have managed to recreate four different trajectories of zombie movie plots, each ending in a scintillating and dramatic escape. Players will make their way through abandoned hospitals, infested sewers, and a deserted and totally ruined...

But each of these keep you grounded for a long long time. And of course, it's Valve, so you can expect their utmost continued support for the game, giving players new weapons, characters, and maps for free. Left 4 Dead marks a redefining moment for the...
