Four of my proudest works randomised every time just for you! That's right, YOU! I just have to hope it didn't randomly choose four pieces of my old Sonic fancharacters or anything.

Left 4 Dead 2 Demo

Wed Nov 4, 2009, 12:39 AM




Okay, so like, the Left 4 Dead 2 Demo is now public for people who haven't pre-ordered. If you have Steam, even vaguely like shooting things, or co-op, I really recommend you download it.

If you don't have Steam: [link]

Go download it. It's completely free, just install the program, make yourself an account and you're done. You then just go on to Steam, visit the store and search for Left 4 Dead 2 and you'll find the free demo. Then just download, right click it in the games list and play! 8D

Of course, if you have an Xbox 360, you can go download it on that if you like. I won't be able to play it with you, but if it doesn't run on your PC, it's worth seeing if you enjoy it on there I guess. However all of Valve games are heavily opitimised to run on as many systems as they can. In fact, despite all the graphical enchancements, some people say L4D2 runs smoother for them than L4D1.

Anyway! My name is of course JezMM on there, so if you search for me and add me as a friend we can play together and it shall be glorious. 8D Just make sure to tell me here too so I can look out for you. =(

Don't worry about not playing L4D1 either, while it is set in the same fictional universe, the first and second game's storylines are set at completely different ends of the country, so all the characters are as new to you as they are to L4D1 veterans. Not only that but L4D2 is basically "L4D1+", more of the same, but with even more stuff: weapons, zombies, campaigns, gameplay modes, and special infected types. Easy mode is also VERY welcoming, so don't worry if you're not so confident at shooters.

For any squeamish peoples:

- The game IS gory, in fact one of the new features of L4D2 is the fact that you can blow off zombie limbs and bits of flesh in a way sensitive to where you shoot. The general presentation is ever so slightly exaggerated though. Not exactly cartooney, but definately a bit over-the-top so it shouldn't take long to get used to it.

- The game ISN'T scary, even moreso when playing with friends. It's a much more arcadey experience than survival horror, though there is certainly an element of rationing supplies for survival also, especially on higher difficulty. Don't worry though, the first times you play, you are constantly given helpful messages on-screen to teach you the basics.

The demo is two levels long (most campaigns have 4-5 levels in them), so it takes about 20-30 minutes to play, 30-40 if you explore thoroughly.

If you're still unsure about making the jump, you can check out the wiki article here: [link]
Or enjoy the latest trailer here: [link]

SO YEAH. The full game is out on the 17th though, which is also when the demo will dissapear forever, take your chance to try without buying if you're curious!
