Fans of the extremely popular Left 4 Dead game have been eagerly awaiting the release of Left 4 Dead 2, and they will not be disappointed. While the second entry in the zombie crushing series from Valve is very different in many ways from the first, it is a thrilling and extremely engaging game in its own right.
What’s New with Left 4 Dead 2
The biggest addition to the Left 4 Dead 2 game is in its use of weapons. No longer are you limited to only the most basic tools of survival. In Left 4 Dead 2, almost anything can become a weapon, from a baseball bat to a six pack of soda, not to mention a crowbar, machete, frying pan, police baton or whatever else happens to be lying around. You’ll need every bit of help you can get to ward off all those waves of attacking zombies.

Playing Left 4 Dead 2
There are great animations for this game, allowing view your to dismemberment and destruction of zombies in all sorts of new and interesting ways, and with five different campaigns full of life-preserving missions to complete, there’s plenty to see and keep you occupied in this game as well.

The motto for Left 4 Dead 2 might be “nowhere to hide.” This game seriously discourages holing up in a corner somewhere to regroup and pick off zombies as they wander by. In this game, you’ve got to keep moving, seek higher ground when possible, and get whatever assignment you are tasked with done. If you don’t, you’ll be zombie bait quicker than you imagine.

Single Player vs. Multi Player Left 4 Dead 2
With a similar core cast of four human characters as in Left 4 Dead 1, this game has some great opportunities for cooperative multi-player action, but you can have hours of fun playing this game as a single player, interacting with a team of NPCs, as well. Of course, there are some multi-player games specifically designed to let you and your buddies compete with each other throughout the Left 4 Dead world as well.
