It will be hard to resist picking this upon its release on November 17th (Xbox 360 and PC). In the end, I didn't see anything in Left 4 Dead 2 to counter the opinion that this could have been done as an expansion rather than a standalone game, but with all-new levels, a few new enemies and the addition of melee weapons, there's a lot to like about it. Sadly, I had just picked up a chainsaw in a motel room (how very Scarface) and when I chopped her up without realizing what she was, I was covered in acid and promptly incapacitated.

Normally I consider myself to be the weak link on a team shooter, but this time my hands were pretty much tied.Įven with these encumbrances, I had a lot of fun with the game. I found myself alone a lot, and when a Smoker ensnared me, my teammates were indifferent to my cries of help (in Japanese, even). While one would wander off the road into the trees, another would sternly forge ahead and the other would be lagging behind. Now, either a boomer or a spitter could be used to create chaos for the survivors. I suppose it didn't help that the other three players were Japanese men who had clearly never played the original game. In Left 4 Dead 2, the special infected options were enhanced with the.
