Advantages: Beautiful to look at, listen to and to play.

Disadvantages: Single player game is present but pales next to multiplayer.

What can you say about such a perfect game? Well, if you are picky like me, you could say that it would make a perfect single player game. Maybe I am billy-no-mates but I find the online games against strangers to be a bit underwhelming. I used to spend many a happy hour playing multiplayer games across the network at work (during lunch of course) and I suspect if I still worked in such a place, this would be great fun.

But I don't work there anymore. So I am limited to the odd online game against friends, when we can organise them or playing using the better-than-average AI of the game itself against the computer-controlled players.

Graphically, Valve have surpassed even their own standards. My PC is 5 years old and still plays well with "everything turned on". Who else but Valve would think to include a "add film grain" option to the graphic settings?

The music is perfect and it is a measure of it's greatness that I leave it turned on.

What would make it better then? This may seem churlish (it is) but how about a true single player game without the team members? This is more a request than a complaint. Left 4 Dead was designed as a multiplayer game and that's what it is.

Maybe more variety in weapons and maybe let us carry more pipebombs/molatov cocktails?

Buy this now. Right now. Whether you have friends or not.

Summary: Guns, zombies, vomit, witches, mist, pipe bombs....what else do you want?
