bullett Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 Just been playing the PC demo of this. OH MY GOD! Brilliant, another valve triumph. It just a great fun game playing the survivors in one of those zombie movies. I was actually tense whilst playing it as we headed to the exit and then died before getting swapped with zombies because someone attracted them by setting off a car alarm...

bullett Posted December 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 No one playing this one? Full game is even better than the demo, more variety and I'm yet to team up with any idiots. Very cinematic and tense with that real, we must survive vibe especially in the last few seconds before rescue comes. I'm on the PC if anyone wants a game of co-op.

billy2shots Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 Dad wanted it for x-mas, he said this or another game. He always asks my sister for box of chocs or slippers then asked be for a £30 game. This year he didn't ask for a game so i got him a couple of other things. The day i bought them he called me and said you could get me Left 4 Dead or another one. He told me they were only £5 in Game so i popped down to the shop. The other game he said is £5 but no shops have it, and Left 4 Dead is £30 so as i got him other things he will have to wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom_hargreaves Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 It's only decent to play when you're doing it co-op. Also towards the end of completing it I was getting pretty bored with doing the same things. It's a very good play through once, but the longevity isn't there. It's also a bit on the short side. Can be beaten in around 6 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntW Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 I don't really think the point of the game is to beat it in 6 hours though. Certainly not if you are trying to get the achievements. Play it for what it is, a highly entertaining shooter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom_hargreaves Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 Most of the achievements are attainable without paying them to much attention and just acquiring them through normal play. The point isn't to beat it in 6 hours, but playing with 3 other human players against zombie A.I. is a walk in the park to be honest, even on the higher difficulty levels. Add a few hours if playing solo, because the computer A.I. has carrot-like intelligence in parts. Which don't kill enough zombies leaving you to do most of the work. Or causing you to be killed at stupid times when a human player would have easily revived you etc. I agree it is highly entertaining and I loved it. Just the longevity isn't there to keep me coming back for any lengthy period of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
