Left 4 Dead 2 For Playstation 3 Views
Left 4 Dead 2 revives the zombie apocalypse with a breath of fresh air, new excitement and plenty of nonstop action. Last year’s multiplayer zombie killing bloodfest was plagued with dull level designs, lack of gameplay modes and an affinity for utilizing glitches to achieve victory in Versus mode. Thankfully Valve has fixed all of those problems, to great effect, and made Left 4 Dead 2 one of the best multiplayer games of the year.
Unlike Left 4 Dead that saw you going from one safe house to another and ultimately hoping aboard an escape vehicles, the campaigns in Left 4 Dead 2 all work together and offer a sense of continuity that the original game lacked in the campaign. It is hard to say that there is any sense of a story in campaign mode (other than just killing zombies), but the game does a good job of explaining what happens after you begin a new campaign level and your getaway vehicle from the previous chapter mysteriously disappeared or if things out of your control (like your vehicle running out of fuel) occur forcing you to begin a new chapter to replenish your source of a getaway.
The levels in Left 4 Dead 2 are a lot more vibrant and alive than the previous game and more often than not you will sometimes stop just to admire the decadent beauty in the design. One of the best chapters, titled Dark Carnival, pits you in the middle of an abandoned carnival. What makes this level so exciting to play are the ways for which you can interact with your surroundings. Various minigames, like Whack-A-Mole, Target Shooting and a Testing Your Strength hammer swing are all around and can be played to award you with various prizes. Further on into the campaign you will soon scamper across the tracks of a roller coaster (while functioning) and fight your way through the Tunnel of Love. Its locations and interactions like these that make every campaign fun and engaging to play through.
Other than Scavenge mode, there are plenty of other new things that make Left 4 Dead 2 feel more polished and improved. Players can now equip incendiary or explosive rounds to guns to set enemies on fire or make them explode. These are found randomly throughout the levels and can be placed on the ground for everyone to use. Defibrillators are also new which allow teammates to revive dead Survivors, in exchange for a health pack, so deciding whether to carry a health pack or a defibrillator pack could be a life-or-death decision. Boomer bile helps in diverting zombies away from you (similar to the pimp bomb minus the explosion at the end) and adrenaline packs give you added movement and strength for a short period of time, suitable for intense moments when you are fighting enemy hordes, however these adrenaline shots replace pain pills so picking them up could be costly as well.
