Left 4 Dead 2: Dizzy Highs, Bonecrushing Lows!

Over the past few weeks i have dedicated alot of my free time to the relative new release of Left4Dead2.

This game has had alot of publicity, both good and bad prior to its release, however for me despite good reviews, moaning gamers bothered by the relatively quick release of a sequel and any other comments, this game was always on my hit list of games over the christmas period.

Like the first one, this game has got everything you need to have fun with mates. It is one of the true co-operative games on the market that requires real camaraderie.

However, despite the good times you can have on this beast of a game, the lows are really low. I mentioned before about teamwork and friends... well both of those words may cease to exist after a bad run on this game. I can't actually count the number of times my blood pressure has risen on this game, the amount of times i've told my mates that our friendship might well be over, and the amount of times i have just switched my console off in rage and tried to suffocate myself with the nearest pillow!

The true success therefore in this game, must be the fact that despite the rage and abuse, i will continuously come back to play it. Just hoping that we'll be able to finally complete another campaign on expert, or complete an achievement i've been striving to get for weeks...

To be honest, the game itself is a work of art, with fantastic levels, great additions to the special infected zombies and an interesting new cast of survivors. My only real gripe is the lack of team work i've found online even compared to the first game, with people quitting constantly and lack of communication. However once again i keep coming back to it...

For anyone who hasn't played this game yet anyways, at least play the demo on XBL. It is a fantastic game and in all honesty i have only made two trips to the docs for the blood pressure thing... so yeah GET IT!!
