With multiple multiplayer options both on and offline, extensive AI custom functionality, four character options, new melee weapons and more, Left 4 Dead 2 promises to become one of 2009's best shooters on the PC platform and set a new benchmark for co-op centric action games.

View larger. | Story Left 4 Dead 2 is set at roughly the same time as the original – just after the outbreak that turned most of the population into various zombie mutants. Players assume the role of four new "Survivors," each with their own personality and new dialog. The game leads these "Survivors" through the southeastern region of the US - from Savannah, Georgia through the bayou country, and climaxing in New Orleans’ French Quarter. Gameplay Just as with the original Left 4 Dead, Left 4 Dead 2 is a first-person shooter which pits players against hordes of zombie-like enemies. As you would expect in a scenario where you are regularly surrounded by masses of the undead, it is very good thing to have plenty of help, as well as weapons at your disposal, and Left 4 Dead 2 has players covered on both accounts. The game features several multiplayer options including 2-8 player online and offline support in several modes seen in the first game, including Campaign, Versus, and Survival, as well as the new Scavenge Mode. This new multiplayer option tasks players, in the role of survivors to find a limited number of fuel canisters hidden in a level in order to keep their individual generators going, while other players in the role of the infected try to stop them. In addition the game features very strong co-op play support, with 2-player support locally and 2-4 player support online. The game features a wealth of melee weapons and additional items handy for battling enemies up-close and personal. Along with melee weapons seen in the first game, players can look forward to wielding new weapons like axes, chainsaws, frying pans, etc. Firearms are also available, but seeing as zombie fighting usually requires a little elbow grease, melee weapons are the mainstay. In addition, players can carry other useful items, including a variety of throwing weapons and several different kinds of support items, like flashlights to startle enemies and light the way in dark environments and healing items like first aid kit and defibrillator kits. Customize with AI Director 2.0 Introducing the AI Director 2.0, Left 4 Dead 2's dynamic gameplay is taken to the next level by giving the Director the ability to procedurally change weather effects, world objects, and pathways in addition to tailoring the enemy population, effects, and sounds to match the players' performance. The result is a unique game session custom fitted to provide a satisfying and uniquely challenging experience each time the game is played. Key Features - Quality Co-op Gameplay - Left 4 Dead 2 features quality next generation co-op action gaming from the makers of Half-life, Portal, Team Fortress and Counter-Strike.
- AI Director 2.0 - Advanced technology dubbed "The AI Director" drives Left 4 Dead’s unique gameplay – customizing enemy population, effects, and music, based upon the players’ performance. Left 4 Dead 2 features "AI Director 2.0," which expands the Director’s ability to customize level layout, world objects, weather, and lighting to reflect different times of day.
- New Melee Weapons – Put a whole slew of melee weapons including axes, chainsaws, frying pans and baseball bats to use which allow you to get up close with the zombies.
- Meet "The Survivors" - The game features four different survivors, a new storyline and new dialogue.
- More Game - On day one, Left 4 Dead 2 features more cooperative campaigns, more campaigns and maps for the versus game modes than the original Left 4 Dead did, plus support for Survival Mode right out of the box.

Not as great as it could have been March 12, 2010 Steve (Florida) 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
This game is not as great as it could have been. The game gave me an error that was undefined after about two weeks of play time. In addition, the game also would like for me to have turned off my virus protection (like I would do that - I already lost a laptop due to turning off the virus protection).
Some in the gaming community were understanding when it came to the multiplayer (read this as 90% of the game). More did not. The "die hard" teams tended to vote people off the server when they saw the additional players added were new to the game. This lead to a long, long learning curve and, after getting the errors mentioned above, a quick toss of the game into the garbage bag.
The graphics in the game are good, but the errors were just too much to take for this game.
It's just a great game. March 4, 2010 It's a wonderful game. i have never played the first l4d, but this one is a co-op great game...the single mode player it's not great at all, but it has several multiplayer mods that makes you spent a lot of time playing, if you like gore, zombies and survival horror buy it. if you like to play as a team buy it,if you have no internet access forget this game !!
Not nearly as good as the first one February 28, 2010 eBay Lover (California) 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
The first Left 4 Dead was ground breaking and introduced some great advances and cool features. The sequel had high hopes but just didn't even begin to deliver. The rough spots in the original were not improved on much, such as breathtakingly stupid AI on your computer helpers, getting stuck on anything when trying to run, etc. The melee weapons were a nice improvement but otherwise the game is incredibly poorly done. The new monsters are not all that interesting though their BS potential is immense. Perhaps the simplest way to summarize it is this: I not only wouldn't recommend it to a friend, but I am sorry that I bought it myself.
Great game for people who love co-op gaming and killing zombies February 22, 2010 Fat Matt (Memphis, TN USA) Left 4 Dead 2 is a very satisfying cooperative survive-the-zombie-apocalypse game that is especially fun to play with friends.
This game took the formula from the original L4D then added new weapons (including melee), added new zombies, introduced new survivors, and changed the setting.
I thought the first one was great. February 18, 2010 Andrew Cooper (Nome Alaska) One of my favorite games of all time. The first Left 4 Dead feels more like a beta version to this.
I know some of the reviewers mentioned that this is just an expansion pack, but I thought to myself and wondered if they even tried the game. IMO, the game is more then an expansion pack. The Campaigns come together like a plot. You have many weapons to choose from and there not just the same old boring ones over and over. You could add a laser sight to them to make your weapon more accurate. Melee weapons were added which is a bonus for me, because the chainsaw just rocks! (Warning! Runs out of gas quickly when you get carried away). It has better physics then the first one, the pipe bomb is by far the coolest effect on here, body parts fly all over and guts come out. Added special infected like the Jockey, Spitter and Charger. Special zombies for certain campaigns that are a little bit hard to kill from the normal infected. Different missions to do, when planning an escape for an escape vehicle. I could pretty much go on and on about it, but I don't want to spoil any more of it. Believe me when I say that it's not an expansion pack, it's in all new different game.
Buyer Beware: If you do not like "Steam" and do not plan on installing on your computer in the future, then this is not for you.
