Left 4 Dead 2 Video Review

[Shawn Zipay]

Valve's Left 4 Dead 2 has just been released and the question on everyone's mind is whether or not the game is worthy of a full-priced sequel or if it's merely DLC in sheep's clothing. Total Gaming Network staff member, ChristianOfTheWired slashes and guns his way through the Xbox 360 version of the game to answer that very question.

Wow, i definitely would not have guessed that.

It definitely is amazing, a much better game overall than the first. I've finished two of the campaigns online with random strangers and it really is ridiculously fun, should be even better once a couple of my friends can organize something I wasn't really a huge fan of the first game but L4D2 is refined in every way, to put it simply.

Well they have done the right thing, improved and that is what a sequal is all about.
Not to dramatically change it but to improve on its floors.

I don't like how you hold your weapon right up in your face. Any way to chagne that?
