That is why they had to hold back somewhat on the visual flair.
It's an awesome chaos that really immerses me in the situation.ĭuring the development Valve actually reached the limits of what the memory in Xbox 360 can handle due to the constant mayhem on screen. They attack from above and below, from right and left. Undead run along the ridges, climb fences, and tear down doors. At 1920 x 1080 the zombie mayhem looks rather tasty despite being based on the five year old Source Engine (Half-Life 2).Īt times there is tons of stuff happening on screen. It's naturally rendered at higher resolution, it also allows for the heaps of meat to stay around longer on screen, as well as some other fancy stuff console players will have to do without.

Predictably the PC version looks noticeably better. This is splatter at its finest.Īnd that takes us to the inevitable comparison of the PC and Xbox 360 versions. My heart goes out to my German friends who won't get to see this. The physics engine has been updated and you will see heads, torsos and limbs flying in all directions. One satisfying detail is that an explosive zombie genocide no longer results in a red fog anymore. I'm thinking of the unease we felt at the crying witch in the love tunnel, the panic we felt as we were chased up the roller coaster tracks by 30 undead, and the black humour as Ellis, the redneck, blew up a group of clowns while making his way down a slide. It provides plenty of memorable moments at the very first play through. Out of a total of five wonderfully entertaining chapters my personal favourite is Dark Carnival that consists of an amusement park and the surrounding area. The excitement reaches new levels as my group take respite in a gun shop in the very first level, Dead Centre, and mount a laser sights on our guns. A fairly mundane improvement, but one that truly matters. The variation of the arsenal on hand in Left 4 Dead 2 is on a whole new level. What that the perhaps weakest aspect of the original has been sorted. I have come to develop an intimate relationship with the chainsaw in particular. But there are also Molotov cocktails, pipe bombs, grenade launches, chainsaws, katanas, axes, frying pans, and electric guitars (!). Shotguns, carbines, sniper rifles, sub machine guns, pistols in all shapes and forms. The infection has spread across the country and the only medicine is lead, and lots of it. The story takes place at the same time as the events in the first game and we get to follow a new group of survivors down south. But we can lay all of that to rest now that we can see the final results.

Fans claimed it was just a dressed up expansion. Some say the sequel has arrived much too fast. It's been exactly one year since we first got to know Louis, Francis, Zoey and Bill in the midst of a zombie apocalypse.
