From Valve (the creators of Counter-Strike, Half-Life and more) comes Left 4 Dead, a co-op action horror game for the PC and Xbox 360 that casts up to four players in an epic struggle for survival against swarming zombie hordes and terrifying mutant monsters. Set in the immediate aftermath of the zombie apocalypse, L4D's survival co-op mode lets you blast a path through the infected in four unique “movies,” guiding your survivors across the rooftops of an abandoned metropolis, through rural ghost towns and pitch-black forests in your quest to escape a devastated Ground Zero crawling with infected enemies. Each "movie" is comprised of five large maps, and can be played by one to four human players, with an emphasis on team-based strategy and objectives. New technology dubbed "the AI Director" is used to generate a unique gameplay experience every time you play. The Director tailors the frequency and ferocity of the zombie attacks to your performance, putting you in the middle of a fast-paced, but not overwhelming, Hollywood horror movie. Addictive single player, co-op, and multiplayer action gameplay from the makers of Counter-Strike and Half-Life Versus Mode lets you compete four-on-four with friends, playing as a human trying to get rescued, or as a zombie boss monster that will stop at nothing to destroy them.

The first L4D game. Of course most would say that L4D2 is better... and I agree with them.

💌 Score: 9/10 👍🏻 Pros ✔️ AI Director ensures every playthrough feels fresh ✔️ Tight, exhilarating co-op gameplay ✔️ Distinct survivor personalities (Bill 4 life!) ✔️ Excellent soundscape and atmospheric tension ✔️ Endless replay value with custom maps and mods 👎🏻 Cons ❌ Graphics show their age in close-up textures ❌ Story framework is minimal ❌ Special infected AI can sometimes be inconsistent ❌ Occasional minor bugs during peak zombie hordes 🌦️ Introduction Left 4 Dead launched the frantic, four-player co-op zombie shooter genre—and it still grips you just as hard. I first dove into it alongside my younger brother in internet cafés (our only gaming hub back then), bonding over each survivor’s backstory and personality. Bill quickly became my go-to hero—his military grit and dry wit made him unforgettable. 🖥️ Visuals The game’s graphics hold up surprisingly well, even years later. Murky streets, abandoned storefronts, and blood-splattered corridors set a foreboding tone. Character models are solid if not cutting-edge, and weather effects—rain, fog, flickering lights—heighten the tension without overdoing it. 🎮 Gameplay At its core, Left 4 Dead is pure, unrelenting teamwork. You’ll scavenge weapons, bandage wounds, and revive fallen teammates while hordes of infected close in. The ingenious AI Director keeps every run unpredictable by tweaking enemy spawns, item placement, and pacing. It’s easy to pick up but richly rewarding when your squad nails a flawless escape. 📖 Story While there isn’t a sprawling plot, each campaign unfolds like chapters in a horror anthology. Simple objectives—reach the safe room, call the rescue—are framed by brief survivor banter that reveals snippets of their pasts. It’s light on narrative but heavy on atmosphere, allowing your shared experiences to become the real story. 🎧 Audio Sound design is a standout: distant moans, haunting screams, and the metallic clang of doors all keep you on edge. Survivor voices crack with panic or quip with dark humor, and the rustic guitar–driven soundtrack swells during finales, underscoring those nail-biting last stands. 🥂 Overall Left 4 Dead remains one of the finest co-op shooters ever made. Its blend of simple storytelling, memorable characters, and razor-sharp cooperative mechanics still spark adrenaline-fueled sessions. A few texture pop-ins and rare glitches crop up, but nothing that undermines the core fun: surviving together against overwhelming odds.

Playtime is not truly correct with how many hours I have played this game. Spent 100's of hours on friends accounts before I could get my own PC. My favorite game series. Highly recommended.

Jogo bem dinâmico, no qual você deve matar os zumbis comuns e "especiais" para passar de fase. Os zumbis comuns, caso você tome dano, deverá usar o seu kit para recuperar a vida. Já os zumbis especiais, caso te pegue, você precisará da ajuda de companheiros de equipe para se livrar deles. Então não é um jogo "solo". Para que consiga passar todas as fases/campanhas, deve saber jogar em equipe. Em resumo, um bom jogo de tiro, para matar zumbis e se divertir com amigos.

If you like shooting zombies this is the game for you. Also it doesn't have a crazy story line.
