Left 4 Dead 2 -- Initial Impression.

I have yet to actually play this game to form an initial opinion but this one is a no-brainer. I'm expecting nothing beyond more of the same. The game is developed and published by Valve. I'm going with the Xbox 360 version. The game is providing four new characters, five new campaigns, a bunch of new items and weapons, some new special infected, and a new online mode or two. I never played the original game offline. It was completely an online experience and I'll be doing the same thing with the sequel. All I'm really hoping for is a slight overhaul in the fairness of the game's AI director. Not that it goes easy on us and it doesn't pile on the special infected, just that it spawns less hordes out of closets and other already cleared rooms. My only real complaint with the original. We played the hell out of Left 4 Dead, and I fully expect to play the hell out of Left 4 Dead 2. Hours and hours of zombie killing fun to be had... and really, what's more fun than that?
