Amazon.com Product Description
Set in a modern day survival-horror universe, the co-operative gameplay of Left 4 Dead (L4D) casts four "Survivors" in an epic struggle against hordes of swarming zombies and terrifying "Boss Infected" mutants. Developed by Turtle Rock Studios and Valve, creators of the Counter-Strike and Half-Life games, the latest AI technology allows for multiplayer games of one to eight players.

A new and highly virulent strain of the rabies virus emerges and spreads through the human population with frightening speed. The pandemic's victims become grotesquely disfigured widely violent psychopaths, attacking the uninfected on sight. As one of the "lucky" few apparently immune to the sickness, you, unfortunately, are also trapped in a city crawling with thousands of the bloodthirsty Infected. Alone, you're dead. But together with a handful of fellow survivors, you might just fight your way to safety.

Players can play as a Survivor or as one of four types of Boss Infected, each of whom possess a unique mutant ability, such as a 50-foot tongue lasso or a giant belly full of explosive methane gas. The gameplay of L4D is set across four massive campaigns. The zombie population of each mission is choreographed by an AI Director that monitors the human players' actions and creates a unique and dramatic experience for them on the fly.

Good Overall Game
This game my whole family liked. Not only to play online but playing against each other. Not many games are more than one player and we like to play multiplayer games.

Nightmares
This game doesn't have that much to it and doesn't have many weapons, I'm not a gamer really and I beat it in 9 hours. That being said, it gave me nightmares the A.I. is insane nothing is in the same place twice, even the good stuff, and I was nervous playing the game trying to avoid death even though it wasn't that easy to die. I never got a change to play online but the actual game's A.I. seemed real enough to be just as good.

Simply an amazing game!
The team based gameplay really sets this game apart. Your AI control squad mates are needed to make it through each level and the game forces you to help one another. It all comes together magically to make this game special instead of annoying.
