Left 4 Dead is a new action title from Valve, creators of the Counter-Strike and Half-Life games, that promises to redefine the co-operative genre as those titles did for multiplayer and single-player action games.
Set in a modern day survival-horror universe, the co-operative gameplay of Left 4 Dead casts four "Survivors" in an epic struggle against hordes of swarming zombies and terrifying "Boss Infected" mutants.
The Survivor Co-op Game Mode is played out across four sprawling campaigns, set in urban and rural environments. Each campaign has an over-riding team objective, and is comprised of five large maps. The campaigns link together to tell the story of the Survivor's escape to safety. The team of four Survivors may be comprised of 1 to 4 human players, allowing for single-player and multiplayer co-op games.
Next generation A.I. technology powers all non-player Survivor and zombie characters. This is facilitated by the A.I. Director, a pool of systems used to procedurally generate a unique experience by monitoring the players' experiences and tailoring the pacing and difficulty of action for each game. This makes for a different experience each time the game is played.
In Left 4 Dead's Vs. Mode players may play as a Survivor or as one of four types of Boss Infected. Each of the Boss Infected possesses an exceptional mutant ability - such as a 50-foot tongue lasso (Smoker) or a giant belly full of explosive methane gas (Boome) - instead of traditional firearms.

D/L the demo last night and I was so impressed. The cut scene actually drew me in so much it was like watching a really good Zombie movie. The survival idea is classic and like GOW2 playing hord where you need to stay alive and revive other team members.
I highly recommend the lights out and volume turned up. These Zombies might look like Night of the Living Dead slow, but they can move like 28 days/weeks later. Some might argue that zombies shouldnt run, and although I tend to agree, in this instance it works like a charm and soon you'll fing yourself surrounded my chaos.
I havent even tried it with a mate yet, so 5* rating is well deserved already. Its 1.2GB on Xbox Live, so make some space for it.
I cant even imagine playing this on expert, at the same time I cant wait.

This is how the game pans out;
Kill zombies, go to safe house, Kill zombies, go to safe house, Kill zombies, go to safe house, Kill zombies, get rescued
Do that 3 more times, and that's the game.
There is no storyline to it, or save feature, so if you want to get the achievements you have to complete a mission in one sitting (usually takes an hour and a bit).
Not recommended.
