Games like this that were better than this:
Left 4 Dead 2.
Done.
Left 4 Dead 2.
Done.
Solid comparison between L4D/L4D2 and DOOM/DOOM II: the tweaks made between games were minor, but monumentally impactful. I'll always love Louis more than any of the L4D2 characters though.
Left 4 dead? Should have been left for dead.
i like this 1 better than 2 idk why i just do
Melhor atmosfera que o 2.
Still a little disappointed that Valve followed up the incredible Orange Box with two zombie shooters that were fine.
A game that introduced me to a little thing called Xbox 360, it was a really fun experience and hope there will be a third game someday.
Very fun game. Can't get enough of it.
One of the few games where you and your sibling shared the xbox.
nice
Fun. Great multiplayer.
Good, but I didn't play much.
Obsolete nowadays thanks to its sequel, but still made the gameplay that would last a decade
when i was in halls of residence at uni we all had phones in our rooms that could do conference calling to other rooms. since not everyone had a mic headset, we'd play left 4 dead with the phone handset strapped to our heads via headbands, all on one conference call. that was a fun time.
This game just feels so good to play. Everything is fast and fluid. What it lacks in story (and I'd say a game like this would be bogged down by one), the characters make up for in quips and personality as you play.
One of my biggest gripes comes from the maps. I had forgotten just how bland and lacking in personality most of them are. You could basically mix and match any of the 5 stages from each campaign and it wouldn't feel that out of place. There are obvious exceptions, but just in general I feel like 80% of maps are just generic buildings, streets and dirt roads in woods. I guess it makes sense that before I replayed this my first thoughts when the game came up were the cornfield and hospital levels.
And I know it's a primarily co-op game, but it punishes players way too harshly if they want to play solo. Ai is just so bad, and they don't even use pipe bombs or Molotov's. And on top of that, the game acts as if you're the only player when it comes to being killed, as opposed to playing with others where you have a chance to be revived from a closet. Couldn't they have just had the Ai carry on without you for a while and potentially rescue you? Or have you get an "extra life" and assume control of another player if you die, since that'd still be harder than just playing with at least 1 other person anyway.
But yeah, it's just a fun zombie killing game. It just so happens to be outclassed entirely by the second game in every aspect, so there's absolutely zero reason to play this one these days unless you're the kind of person who wants to have a fresh playthrough to log on Backloggd, like I am...

4.5/5 because it it's missing all of the left 4 dead 2 content
Adictivo como pocos, y su hermano mayor ya es la perfección completa, lo que demerita está versión del juego.
Si nunca has jugado Left 4 Dead, recomendaría que jugaras la segunda parte. Solamente si tienes curiosidad por ver cómo se sentía y jugaba está primer parte, adelante, pero en opinión personal, no vale la pena gastar dinero en éste.

Fast zombies? Check. Non-stop tension and intensity? Check. The quality of gameplay we expect from Valve? Check. When it comes to co-op multiplayer, Valve is consistently ahead of the curve and excellent at making games that force players to work together.
beautiful
i played the fucking shit out of this game when it came out. one of the best multiplayer shooters
Deftly balanced multiplayer shooter. Tight level design. Great camaraderie between the characters. Wish there was more content.
A balanced team coop shooter with superb level design that makes teamwork your main key to survival. The cast, writing, and interactions is great between characters. The only problem with this installment is the lack of extra content.
me screaming with the gang
y should you play the first one, when 2 also has it?
The memories of playing this PvP, with best friends, in the golden era of Xbox live, they´ll never die
tons of fun playing with my dad
Fantastic zombie game
This was the game of choice when I was in middle school, my friends and I would play every day when we got home.
The first iteration of an amazing concept that was bettered in every way by its sequel. In retrospect, it was honestly a bit scummy for Valve to ask for $20 each (as I recall, might have been more) from you and your friends when L4D2 was just a year away, but it's still a great game regardless. However, there is literally no point in playing it these days (unless you're a speedrunner or something, I guess), since L4D2 has all of L4D1's content.
I'm gagging pills
