Left 4 Dead 2

Although my previous post was a few days ago I decided to also write a review about Left 4 Dead 2 so here it is.

Left 4 Dead 2 is based around 4 survivors just like the pervious game, only this time it is 4 different survivors, Nick, Rochelle, Coach and Ellis. The gameplay is pretty much the same as Left 4 Dead.

Weapons:

The basic weapons like pistols, machine guns, shotguns and sniper rifles all make a return, again you can dual weild but now theres more selection of weapons including melee weapons. The Machine Guns now include Uzi's and Silenced Uzi's aswell as the previous selection. Shotguns now include a Tactical Shotgun. Pistols now include Magnums and you can duel wield the standard pistols like in the previous game. You can now use special weapon upgrades like laser sights which increase accuracy, incendiary packs which give your bullets an added fire damage and frag rounds which are like using a shotgun. Pipe Bombs and Molotov's also make a return because lets face it, who doesnt like burning and blowing things up, you do? thats great cause that means you will love the grenade launcher, yes I said it, a grenade launcher, you can use it to make a path between a horde and such, basically just use your imagination and you will be fine, downside is that you have to find another grenade launcher to get more ammo. The melee weapons, which take over the pistol slot, include things like Chainsaws, Fire Axes, Katana's, Machete's, Baseball Bats, Cricket Bats, Crowbars, Frying Pans, Tonfa's and Electric Guitars.

Health:

Health now has more options like a defibrillator which allows you to revive a dead team mate and adrenaline which gives you a slight strength and speed boost aswell as the standard health packs and pain pills.

Director Mode/AI/Infected:

The Director mode as mentioned in my Left 4 Dead review has been improved, you now get more item spawns and better spots for them, the spawns are also improved, now they dont just seem to appear out of walls. The AI has slightly been improved, now they dont just run off to kill everything they will actually stay near you and wont aggro a witch untill they actually get close to one. The infected have been updated to include new special infected in each campaign and the old ones make an appearance like the Tank and Witch but the new ones are Spitters and Chargers plus some others.

Overall Left 4 Dead 2 is similiar to Left 4 Dead in a lot of ways including the multiplayer options and such. I would recommend playing this.

Until next time, peace
