Left 4 Dead 2
The heart of Left 4 Dead 2 is the five campaign maps that take the
survivors through a wide variety of terrain in the Deep South. From
murky swamplands to a creepy carnival ground, from flooded suburbs to
claustrophobic city streets, every environment is detailed and
immersive. Clever design touches abound, some of which are clues that
show you which way to progress. It's deceptively easy to get turned
around, especially since you aren't the only ones who have been leaving
piles of bodies around. Left 4 Dead 2's environments help tell a story,
and as you travel through the remains of a massive government-organized
evacuation effort, you get a better sense of how it all went down. The
campaigns now string together to make one long adventure, and though the
oppressive, desperate mood seethes more potently this time around,
there is still plenty of levity and high-impact excitement. Well-timed
survivor quips make trudging through zombie-infested swamps a bit less
nerve-racking, and thunderous rainstorms make a tense final stand (the
moments right before your rescue) even more dramatic. The sound design
is a standout once again, filling the air with eerie strains and helpful
cues, as well as conveying the full range of the survivors' emotions.
This rich atmosphere is enhanced by the wider variety of choke points
and final stands, all of which give the campaigns their own unique pace.
