The anticipated and boycotted sequel to the zombie shooter by Valve Software Inc. is here. Well it's been here for awhile but I'm not just getting around to writing about it. This version isn't so much a sequel as it is a refining of a great game. I'm not entirely sure that they needed a straight sequel for this but I welcome any addition to a game that I thoroughly enjoyed last year, even at the 60$ ticket price.
New additions include shooting off crotches of zombies, melee weapons, spitters, jockeys, and chargers. Along with a new cast of survivors who are immune to infection.
The campaigns all flow together in a 20 chapters venture across the south. My favorite parts of the game are when Coach references how much he likes food. When you're in a the mall he says things like,"God please make the food court okay." At the dark carnival he says, "Cotton Candy: The King of Foods." and more, all awesome.
Charlie is a very cautious Left 4 Dead player, example, yesterday we completed the first chapter of an Expert Campaign on Realism and he had 40 zombie kills to my 130+ and Sean's 110+. I think he might just like to wander around the game like he's playing Myst.
Worth the money, coming out to around 30 bucks for me. I love it, want more of it.
9/10
