Set in a modern day survival-horror universe, the co-operative gameplay of Left 4 Dead (L4D) casts four "Survivors" in an epic struggle against hordes of swarming zombies and terrifying "Boss Infected" mutants. Developed by Turtle Rock Studios and Valve, creators of the Counter-Strike and Half-Life games, the latest AI technology allows for multiplayer games of one to eight players.A new and highly virulent strain of the rabies virus emerges and spreads through the human population with frightening speed. The pandemic's victims become grotesquely disfigured widely violent psychopaths, attacking the uninfected on sight. As one of the "lucky" few apparently immune to the sickness, you, unfortunately, are also trapped in a city crawling with thousands of the bloodthirsty Infected. Alone, you're dead. But together with a handful of fellow survivors, you might just fight your way to safety.Players can play as a Survivor or as one of four types of Boss Infected, each of whom possess a unique mutant ability, such as a 50-foot tongue lasso or a giant belly full of explosive methane gas. The gameplay of L4D is set across four massive campaigns. The zombie population of each mission is choreographed by an AI Director that monitors the human players' actions and creates a unique and dramatic experience for them on the fly.

Double plus good game:
Left4Dead is a good borderline great game. It is fast paced, edge of your seat exciting, with engaging characters, good visuals, and great music (soundtracks are often overlooked in video games). However, it does get repetitive. There are only a handful of levels and once you've been through them, which happens after 4-7 hours of continuous play, it gets to be same old same old. You can change it up on multiplayer and play the zombie cast which is outstanding but that too gets to be old hat after a while.... more info
Awesome buy:
Bought this used on Amazon. Game was great and in great condition as stated. Cant go wrong with good ole zombie killing. For those that are frustrated with more complex games such as Call of Duty, this game is perfect for you to just pick up and start blasting away. Multiplayer is awesome with friends!
Xbox 360:
Man you guys came with the quickness on shipping out the game, and it was a mighty cheap price too. Good lookin' out - Thanks!!! Tight shooter game and the storyline flows smoothly. If anyone is looking for a bad@$$ zombie shooter they should grip this one up.
Left 4 Dead:
One of the best multiplayer zombie games out! It was worth $60 when it first came out, and it is certainly a steal now. It provides many hours of entertainment. The only thing that is lacking is that online play in this game verses the second game. There are not enough 'specials'. The campaigns are excellent, and gameplay is seamless. If you like first person shooters, killing zombies, and playing with friends then this is a great game for you. If you do have the money I would recommend the second game, but... more info
