http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/action/left4dead/review.html Linkified for great justice. EDIT: Damn, beat me to it.

Anyway this is about what I expected.  It doesn't seem to have the lasting power of other FPS games, yet it's still a good co-op game for the short time it lasts.  I wouldn't pay anywhere near 50-60$ for it though. Hype2Death REVIEW 8.5 Gamespot
I called it. Very fun game, but overrated to hell by the L4D fanboys
A lot higher then expected.
Hyped AAA so a SW flop

Who cares though. Getting this friday.
8.5 is the score of the 360 version, the PC scores arent up yet. FYI
PC version should get its own review.
I expected an 8.5 so I'm not shocked.Very fun game. Worth the $50. But the bad section makes me think that the game should've scored higher. There isn't much in there.
[QUOTE=''IshmaelSonata'']8.5 is the score of the 360 version, the PC scores arent up yet. FYI[/QUOTE]Given the mod community isn't taken into account. I'd expect the same score
[QUOTE=''IshmaelSonata'']8.5 is the score of the 360 version, the PC scores arent up yet. FYI[/QUOTE] Theres going to be nothing different about the scores, the main complaint is only 4 campaigns. It's not going to change right now.
Sounds good enough to me.

So it flopped.............

Still a great game
Yeah the hype train got behind this one, but still solid score.

[/QUOTE] You have absolutly no true idea how the mod community or how valve will react in the subsiquent months of this game comming out. Even though Valve has a good track record, and mod's eat everything up, look at UT 3. If you reviewed that with the sense of ''Well there is going to be a HUGE mod community and Epic will release tonnes of maps!'' then you would have given it a 9 or 9.5. Saying that now would make you look like a fool. Dispite the mod record and the Epic track record that game is going nowhere. Who knows if this one is going to be like that too.  This is why you make reviews of the present content of the game, and not it's persumed future value.

PC review still not up. While my Hype was AAA, it's still an amazing score.

[QUOTE=''Couth_'']I called it. Very fun game, but overrated to hell by the L4D fanboys[/QUOTE]Same here, I just never saw the appeal. To me, it just looked like a mindless zombie flood fest that would probably be fun at first, but would quickly wear thin and get very old, very fast. At least I was certain that it would for me, especially with no single player campaign. Still a decent score though, and I am sure that it will not affect the enjoyment of those who dig it.

Especially since it's getting AAA scores everywhere else. Once you leave the SW's board, L4D is a AAA game.
