Ultimately it comes down to whether you want a great multiplayer or a great single player experience. Far Cry is a bit more weighty and important, while Left 4 Dead is stripped to to its essentials. They both achieve what they set out to do -- just depends what you're looking for. (I played both on consoles.)Mitch Krpatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15987162934932391765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8074451.post-42957595481047041892008-12-10T04:44:00.000-05:002008-12-10T04:44:00.000-05:00Um..."Professional writer pokes fun at kids fumbli...Um...<BR/><BR/>"Professional writer pokes fun at kids fumbling attempts to write reviews"<BR/><BR/>Glad to see you are ashamed of yourself ;)<BR/><BR/>Left for dead or Far Cry 2 for Christmas entertainment (on PC)?mbphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09037758442729422620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8074451.post-9537587926984690112008-11-19T16:42:00.000-05:002008-11-19T16:42:00.000-05:00It's hard for me to be offended by user reviews.

I still cant stand the fact that most the stuff in this is from HL..<BR/><BR/>I mean did anyone else notice that the guys who made HL have made a mod under a new title / name and are selling it for $50? Or did only I spot that?<BR/><BR/>Seems unfair and over priced to me.<BR/><BR/>The full game would want to have ALOT more levels, the 2 demo levels are short, you'd want 20-25x that for a full game if not more other wise youl finish it in 4-6hrs.<BR/><BR/>When modding groups out there put out FREE stuff it makes this look stupid, altho it is pretty well done its still just that a mod... I seen some of the things from this in HL like those string/rope shooting zombies, thats so old.. I never had HL2 but I see ALOT of thing similar from HL1 and CS from back in the day.<BR/><BR/>Its probably worth $10 tho for a few hrs play. I wont give it a cent more from what Ive seen so far.."<BR/><BR/>ACC1, what you played was a demo, only a sample of what the whole game will offer. *sigh*Daniel Purvishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15678228002879207522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8074451.post-66859598253218594252008-11-18T16:49:00.000-05:002008-11-18T16:49:00.000-05:00Oh and of course, the comments are really bad and ...Oh and of course, the comments are really bad and I am amused by your assembly.Etelmikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06017669493751322863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8074451.post-83144434552125958952008-11-18T16:48:00.000-05:002008-11-18T16:48:00.000-05:00It's not GOTY material, but it's a classic.And it'...It's not GOTY material, but it's a classic.<BR/><BR/>And it's okay to say it has plenty of replay value as long as you value versus mode or co-op campaigns for shooters.

What could be a better incentive to buy a game than dozens of people calling it the game of the year or even the best game ever, and scoring it a 10.0? Can't blame them at all for giving people the forum. It's just good business. It's the consumers who get burned.<BR/><BR/>Scott, you do make the game sound pretty awesome. I look forward to playing it, even if it is the tenth game or so to be anointed the game of the year by the masses so far.Mitch Krpatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15987162934932391765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8074451.post-92097686345425158492008-11-18T11:29:00.000-05:002008-11-18T11:29:00.000-05:00"I am dead inside."Makes you perfect for Versus mo..."I am dead inside."<BR/><BR/>Makes you perfect for Versus mode then, dontcha think? /rimshotBen Abrahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04146790136740709664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8074451.post-1356928250397281252008-11-18T11:26:00.000-05:002008-11-18T11:26:00.000-05:00I definately think that a player should play a who...I definately think that a player should play a whole game before posting their review. It's unfortunate that the user review sections of retailer and review aggregators have become so exploited. I used to rely on user reviews but their value has been significantly diminished. <BR/><BR/>The site owners and moderators are to blame. Better administration, moderation, and management could fix this problem. Unfortunately, I don't think that Gamestop has a vested interest in improving the dialog between it's customers. <BR/><BR/>Bad user reviews asside, the Left 4Dead demo for Xbox 360 set a new standard for what a demo should be! The demo includes one of the best in-game cut scenes that I've ever seen and the first two levels of the game. The demo can be played as a single player or with 4player online coop. The matchmaking and lobby system are seamless. The net code is solid.<BR/><BR/>Last but not least, the gameplay is awesome. I can't say this enough. The cooperative experience in expert mode is unparalleled. Your team of four must absolutely stay together. It doesn't matter how good of a shooter you are, if you run ahead of the group, you're dead. If you fall behind, you're dead. Team mates get pinned or knocked down and you'll have to save them and then revive them. If you don't help a downed commrade, they won't be the only one to die. There is positively no way an undermanned party can make it through to the end.<BR/><BR/>L4D demo gamer may not have given the game's morality it's due. There never seem to be enough health packs and emergency pain pills to go around. Players are often faced with the choice of hording that extra med kit or handing it over to their wounded partner who clearly won't make it otherwise.<BR/><BR/>Thus far, my favorite experience came Sunday afternoon. My team mates and I were fighting our way down a street filled with zombies in the game's first level, 'the Apartments.' We were 50 yards away from the safe room that marks the end of the level. Someone set off a car alarm and 50 zombies swarmed our party from every direction. <BR/><BR/>I told everyone to follow me and make a run for the safe room but they were all caught up in the shooting. I managed to break out and get to the safe room, closing the door in the face of the 10 zombies that were chasing me. No one else made it. I could have faced a 50/50 chance of getting killed and gone back and tried to save them. Why risk it? They should have listened to me.Gatsbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00200645516281019172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8074451.post-71487154562321292492008-11-18T11:25:00.000-05:002008-11-18T11:25:00.000-05:00No, kiddo.
