It offers the experience of wading through a Tunnel of Love ride in the middle of the night while zombies are swarming you and a bunch of your friends. How so? Well, because you’re not paying £30 for just laser sights and incendiary ammo for starters that’s not the limit of what the game delivers. Now the game has arrived though and it’s our job to tell you that those worries and quibbles are unfounded, and that Left 4 Dead 2 is bigger and better than it ever seemed to be.
Until now that’s been an understandable sentiment as Left 4 Dead 2 had seemed to be a game which was built primarily on tweaks and adjustments, rather than the introduction of anything meaningful. “ Laser sights and incendiary ammo?” boycotters have cried, “ This isn’t the type of thing we want to pay another £30 for!” That Valve has packaged it into a full game and turned it around so quick should hint that it’s not going to be very good, say sceptics. The complaints against Left 4 Dead 2 have been many, with fans claiming that the content on offer is nothing more than you might find in an expansion to the original Left 4 Dead – Valve’s co-op zombie shooter which sees four survivors trying to fend off the infected hordes.
