Left 4 Dead… Again!
So in preparation of Marcos getting the first Left 4 Dead, I pulled it off the shelf to replay it which I haven't played since L4D2 came out. Now I remember why I liked this game so much!
If I compare the 2 games, L4D2 has improved graphics and is harder to play, and I do like the characters with their own quirky remarks. With larger mobs and more special infected, their version of bosses who randomly spawn, except for the witch level in the Hard Rain campaign, it is easy to say L4D2 is superior and more intense.
But after I popped in the original and the opening movie started playing, I got pumped for it like I did when I first bought the game! There's just something about it that makes it more enjoyable for me. The all too short opening movie is exceptional! One of the best I've ever seen and could easily be made into an animated movie with these graphics. The music and sound was superb, great visuals and intense atmosphere. I almost forgot how much it puts you in the mood to play the game!
After the new patch, update, to L4D2, the opening movie was much improved, adding more of a storyline than the original L4D2 intro which was scattered clips without a story. But even with the more movie-like video, it still pales in comparison to the original L4D movie intro. The original movie really gets you pumped to play, and when you do start, you get a real feel of being IN a movie!
It's been a lot of fun playing with Marcos, trying to survive the zombie apocalypse, and I'm glad he got the original! Co-op on these two titles is the best thing they could have done! I'm glad they did it!
I like L4D2 a lot. I love L4D!
