4/5 stars
Left 4 Dead offers some incredibly creative ideas and executes them well, but the problems with it are minor and can be forgotten once your knee deep in shotgun shells and zombie bodies.
the good-
*enemy AI is phenomenal
*friendly is acceptable
*takes everything a step further in cooperative gameplay
*sound effects are immersive
*in-game commentary is really unique and interesting
*the way the music lets you know whats about to happen is really cool
 *a neat system where you can play idle, (have an AI unit play for you) you can play with an xbox live guest
*friendly fire adds to realism (where realism in a zombie(or infected) game is rare(and where people scarcely put parentheses inside parantheses))
*while they have limited dialogue, the voice acting is really good
the bad-
*the guns in the game have no depth
*I would have liked to have a little bit more of a story even though it is meant  to barely have any story
*playing as the survivors in multiplayer is uninteresting because it is the exact same thing as campaign
