Advantages: Great fun online, Beautiful Graphics, Good Gameplay

Disadvantages: Single player is very weak, No real storyline

I bought Left 4 Dead as many of my friends had been talking about it and how we could all play together killing some zombies :)

I was expecting good things of the game as it had been reviewed highly and had praise from all over. The game isn't to everyones taste as not everyone fancies running around blowing zombies head off, but, even with that, the outstanding thing with this game is how it manages for people to come together, to actually talk to each other and build relationships.

Since buying this game I have made about 10 really good friends, people who I met whilst in the middle of a game trying to save our backsides from the swarms of zombies. Graphically, the game is beautiful, managing to take up to 8 players on a map with hundreds of zombies running around.

The gameplay is very straightforward and you have basic controls such as fire, reload, use object, butt with weapon, and grenade buttons but it works well and allows a good team to strategically fight their way through the hordes.

Left 4 Dead does have a single player mode but it is rarely used, the average player might play it once but then the real focus would be on the multi player since it is so much more pleasing playing with real people.
At the time of buying I paid £29.99 and as with all Valve games, the price has not dropped considerably.

Summary: It's another great online focused game from valve if you can overcome the gore!
