Any thoughts on this game? Everyone's telling me it's awesome... just not sure wether to pick it up or not...

Haven't got round to it yet. It'll be a while.

I've heard that Laft 4 Dead is a great Multiplayer game.

You'll probably need friends.

If you have a PC, you really should get it there instead.

That being said, TF2 provides a lot more gameplay variety. Get the orange box first.

Eh, it's really not that fun. It can get really unbalanced at time, and single player gets really boring, despite the AI Director.

This is basically what you should listen to.

L4D is really fun, but also fairly short. The multiplayer is great, but only if you have three other friends that play the game. Pickup games are really bad IMO (whereas TF2, CS, etc are functional).

Bumping to offer my opinion of the game.

The game is really fun when you play it with friends, and it can be a riot online, but it can also be a pain in the ass too. It's extremely frustrating when a player on the zombie team decides to put a dumpster or a trolley into the sewer cover you need to exit out of or the elevator you need to get in making it impossible to beat the level.

If you play with people you know, than it's fine, but otherwise it's a broken game.

The multiplayer set up for is this game, in my opinion, was constructed quite well. Yet, the main campaign being so f***ing short that is a little annoying. Since, I payed $53 dollars, that's a fare price I guess. It's just without Xbox Live you may not find it as enjoyable, but if you find it around the area of cheap-cheap prices get the game. You'll enjoy just blowing the heads off of some good zombie A.I. Also, I agree with Game Informer's idea for replay ability as being high, since, everytime you play through a level of the game were the enemies come from has changed as well as the location of things.
