Amazing coop game, just have a great time with your friends and kill hordes of zombies.

Absolutely fantastic almost perfect in so many ways there are things that make it a little less.

Played it mostly alone. :( In a time where zombie games were running rampant, this is one of the few you actually need to play!


Not to say that Left 4 Dead 2 is a bad game, but in hindsight, the boycott had a point. Something about this game's atmosphere just hits differently.

Left 4 Dead is a fun, but compromised experience. It's by no means bad, but it definitely feels undercooked and lacking in content, especially by modern standards.

Valve seemingly agree with this as they would almost immediately begin working on the sequel, in my opinion completely replaces the need to ever play L4D again.

In hindsight it definitely felt like I bought into a beta test for Left 4 Dead 2, but at the time I still had a lot of fun with it.

left 4 dead 2 but missing some features

Might as well just get left for dead 2. it has all the maps from this game lol.

juste left 4 dead 2 en moins bien sans mods sauf qu'on peu voir ses pieds

classic game with endless replayability

One of those games that I remember playing with my friends on XBL in like 2010 and then it was suddenly dead and I haven't played it since ):

there's no reason to actually buy this (just run the l4d2 maps with the l4d1 classic mutation) but it's pretty landmark anyways so i give it a 3.5

Liked the Left 4 Dead 2 characters more

funny how this game was itself left for dead after its sequel became the base game everyone plays

There's an argument to be had that Left 4 Dead is still worth playing, even though it's basically been recreated in its entirety in Left 4 Dead 2. L4D1 is much stronger as a tonal piece - no melee weapons means you have little in the way of comfortable fallback options, and you have to be conscious of every bullet. When you run into a Witch, you're making a much harder decision about how to handle her here. Less variation in gameplay modes means you're simply running for longer stretches of time from set piece to set piece, which adds that tasteful wearying sort of experience you want out of a straight horror game. These are all subtle differences, and chances are good that you'd like both games if you like one. Personally, I find all the maps I've played across both titles much stronger in their L4D2 incarnations, but I can respect someone who holds the opposite opinion.

COULDN'T FORCE MORE TO INSTALL ANIME SKINS FOR THIS GAME ISAAC HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA

A basically acceptable zombie shooter. No problems with it, I think people go a little too crazy for it.


honestly i like these characters better than the ones in the second game

better than the second game as it really kicked the genre into high gear but the warhammer games that came out later are better.
