Left 4 Dead

LEFT 4 DEAD: THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UGLY
BY: NELSON HERNANDEZ III


Left 4 Dead was one of the most highly anticipated games of late 2008. Fans everywhere couldn’t resist the urge to buy this awesome game. The franchise is still going strong and has many new and exiting features that were never even dared to try in the past by other people. For instance, it makes great use of the two character types: Zombies, and Survivors. Zombies have various classes (Boomer, Smoker, Hunter, and Tank,). And those classes have different abilities. For instance, one of the zombie characters is called a Boomer. Its ability is to launch vomit at its prey, and when killed can explode and spew bile everywhere (The bile and vomit temporarily blind the person, and attract a hoard of regular zombies). It’s a pretty cool ability if you ask me. The best part is that each zombie has their own ability. Also, it has a great campaign levels and extraordinary details and graphics. There are four campaign levels and each has five chapters. The campaign isn’t the only awesome feature. The multiplayer can be played online or split screen on the console. The online can be a versus match, where its four humans against four zombies, or campaign were four humans can play a level. All together, this game gets five hungry smokers out of five.
