Well I have played Valve games in the past and this seemed really similar to Half life and Team Fortress, but more of a dumb downed version of them combined. This is a fun first person shooter game that's very fast and easy to play and just jump in it whenever you want. That's what I like about the game, it's a simple concept. The zombies and the Special Infected and the bigger guys (including the Witch) make it fun and add a sense of tactical effort that your team has to use in order to overcome the zombie invasion. The music is really great too which makes the player feel paranoid that a zombie can pop out of nowhere and the subtle hints in the change of music help you realize when the horde of zombies is going to come or when the big guy starts to come on the scene. All of those elements combined make it feel like a great game. However, I feel like it wasn't innovative enough. They added the molotave and the grenade which attracts the zombie, but as a whole the game doesn't feel "complete". As if it's missing something. The next game is going to feature many more weapons and melee weapons as well, so maybe that's what is missing from the first game. Overall, it's a good game that you should play if you already havn't played it. Good job, Valve!Read full review
I'd owned the first edition of Left 4 Dead since it was released on November 18th, 2008. Hardly a day went buy that I did no play it. When the free survival pack was released, I downloaded it immediately as well. So why buy this version of the game, which includes no new content? One reason would be if you have an Xbox with no hard drive. the survival pack is around 100MB, which would be a large chunk of an Arcade's 256MB of storage. Of course you can still play the other modes (campaign, versus, and offline single player) with the old disc even without the survival pack download. Versus mode is where this game shines the most, so some folks might not miss the survival pack. For me, the main reason to buy this copy was to tell Valve thanks. They made what might be my all-time favorite Xbox 360 game. They gave us the survival pack content for free. They have brought every applicable game tweak and patch on the PC version over to the Xbox version, when they could of just left well enough alone (though I would love to see the kind of stats that PC players get to see). Valve lived up to the hype on this one, as they so often do with their games (see also the Half Life series, Team Fortress series, and Portal). I sincerely hope they come out with a third edition of some kind, so I can buy it as well.Read full review
The game is paced almost perfectly so that you're always pushed to the edge. You'll run low on health. You'll run low on ammo or you'll run out entirely, requiring you to rely on pistols, which have unlimited ammo but aren't as effective as shotguns, assault rifles, and submachine guns. There are pipe bombs and Molotov bombs that you can scavenge, and you can turn propane tanks and gas canisters into weapons. The latter are particularly useful in the many "crescendo" elements in the game. These are points where you must initiate an action in order to open the way forward like having a van drive through a steel fence to open the route. The kicker is that the moment you initiate the action the zombie horde are going to come down on you like a tidal wave. The good news is that you have time to prepare and place down fuel canisters and discuss the battle plan. If a player falls victim to the zombie menace, a respawn mechanism reintroduces them back in the action as another survivor who has been found (though don't ask why the new survivor is exactly the same as the old survivor).Read full review
Great game! Always a classic to go back to. Online player base isn’t the best but even solo this game is good to play for anybody wanting nonstop action.

A fantastic game for people looking for a good split screen game! Not as good as Left 4 Dead 2, but a fantastic buy! Highly recommend it.
