  QuakeCon 2007: Left 4 Dead Hands-On

  

  Left 4 Dead Would Have Undoubtedly Been A Finalist For Multiplayer Gameplay Of The Year, If Not For The Fact That Valve Recently Just Announced That The Game Has Now Slipped To Early 2008. Still, It's Hard Not To Be Completely Engrossed In This Cooperative Multiplayer Action Game That Has You Playing Alongside Three Other Players As You Try And Battle It Out Of A Zombie-Infested Los Angeles. It Really Feels Like You're Trapped In A Movie Like 28 Days Later, And The Game's Desperate Firefights And Awesome Scenes Of Dozens Of Zombies Rushing You Hits Something Primal In Your Brain. You Play As One Of Four Survivors Who Is Somehow Immune To The Zombie Disease. That's The Good News. The Bad News Is That The Zombies Want To Eat You, And You Have To Battle Work Together To Fight Your Way Out Of The City. You Can Play As Louis, The Retail Manager Of A Big Box Electronic Store. Then There's Zoey, A Teenage Girl; Francis, A Biker; And Bill, A Grizzled Vietnam War Veteran. Each Of These Characters Can Use Every Type Of Weapon In The Game, So They're Fairly Interchangeable. At The Same Time, Each One Makes An Impression Thanks To The Incredible Facial Animation In The Game. The Heart Of Left 4 Dead Is The Fact That You'll Have To Battle Against Incredible Odds In Very Familiar Urban Settings To Get Through The Game. You Can Carry A Primary Weapon, Such As A Shotgun Or Assault Rifle, As Well As A Pistol That You Van Use As A Last Resort. We Started Out Each Level In A Safe Room Where Our Characters Could Change Between Different Weapons, Refill On Ammunition, And Pick Up Health Packs. Each Character Can Only Carry A Single Health Pack, By The Way. This Game Is So Incredibly Atmospheric, Cinematic, And Engaging That We Didn't Want To Stop Playing. Left 4 Dead Uses Valve's Source Engine, So The Graphical Look Is Comparable To Half-Life 2 And Counter-Strike: Source, But It Looks Even Better Thanks To The Fact That It's Set In Such A Familiar Setting. As Good As It Looks, Though, We're Hyped On The Actual Combat, As It Really Feels Like It's Going To Be The Definitive Zombie Game. Even Better, We're Told That The Game Has An Incredibly Amount Of Replayability, As There Are Different Situations And Wild Moments That Can Occur Each Time That You Play. This Is A Game To Most Definitely Keep An Eye On, And It'll Be Released Early Next Year.
