Downloading as soon as I get home :) I need to see how it plays out with a pad. Buying it for the PC, but I have friends on all platforms so I might pick up a 360 version to.

Anyone know what's included in the demo?

According to my friends on Live, it's two levels, subway and apartment. I heard it was really fun. I too am getting the PC version but I'm curious how the 360 version does and will download the 360 demo as well just to play on my TV.

1.2 - Superb!

Very impressive!

The demo has 2 levels, Apartment and Subway as previously mentioned. You can play with 3 AI Bots as your team, or you can play 4 player co-op with either 3 friends, or search online for 3 other people!

Overall, very impressive. The number of Zombies on screen is superb, very creepy, and you can see how the co-op aspect will play in the game with saving team-mates, healing etc etc

I wasn't really bothered about Left 4 Dead, but now....if enough of my Xbox Live friends get this, I will too.

It's actually one-and-one-half levels. The second half of Subway was cut off.

Played the 360 demo recently and it was good. Fun, but not some amazing experience I was expecting. The movie feel is surprisingly well done, but the gameplay itself (I understand it is a 2 level demo, but still) was kinda boring. Move from point A to B, shoot everything and get to a safe house. In no way am I saying it's garbage, but it isn't the masterpiece gaming media would have you believe. And it's ugly.

As much as i respect your opinion I find it hard to agree with. 1st off the game looks really really good and 2nd it's simply amazing what valve has done here with co-op and b flick entertainment. There is more teamwork required here then in any other game I think I've ever played. This is going to be a sleeper hit and more then just a "it's a ok game".

ive been playing the effing hell outta the demo for the last week. to really get the best of the demo is to get some buddies, and play on Expert. that is where the game really shines. do it over and over again to see how great the AI Director works. the game so far is phenomenal on Expert.

I respect your differing opinion as well, but I stand by my statements. It WAS fun, but to be fair, I'm coming off playing the Killzone 2 beta and everything is ugly to me right now. But let's also be honest about Source...it's is old and ugly and L4D shows it (at least on the 360). However, the teamwork aspects felt no different than playing Team Deathmatch in XYZ Shooter. Communication is the key (as with anything TEAM based). Besides sneaking past a Witch or shooting the tongue off a smoker, it felt like any other FPS I've played. That's not a deal breaker, just a reality...for me at least.

At first I had no interest in this game, didn't understand why some magazines said this was a game to keep an eye on, and only downloaded the demo just to see how worthless the game was...

I can honestly say... I was stupid on my part! The demo for Left 4 Dead was a lot of fun, and everyone should try to play it if they can! I never really liked zombie shooter games, but this one just seems to have a fun factor that just can't be explained!

Dam good time to be a gamer!!!

Yeah people knock Valve a lot, mainly PS3 supports (Orange box) and almost rightly so, but they know how to put an experience together. HL2 is still one of the best FPS single player games out there. If not the best.

Need a new Engine though, tech wise they've really fallen behind. Still, play CS:S every week though, all about the gameplay sometimes.

15 - I think this game will be good BUT

I think its waaaay overhyped.. Dont get me wrong, I just played the demo a few times and i think its very solid its not quite the second coming a lot of gamers are hyping it to be. I just bought COD world at war and that game is AMAZING and deserves way more hype then L4D in my opinion. I see L4D as a solid shooter that will get boring after a month or so. Again, i dont mean to rain on anyones parade lol. I do think its a very solid game and Ill buy it, but i just think there are better games coming out or that are already out that deserve more hype then this game.

19 - Played the Xbox-360 version.

1st off the first thing that hit me was a clipping issue (they need to sort this), do not worry about collision detection with your colleagues, just run straight through them lol.

2nd this game is really fun, the AI is brilliant, you know the zombies are going to run at you but when they do it is still a surprise/shock, I mean they don't just come at you, they freaking hunt you big time, I only played on the easy mode but I will try the hard mode later.

3rd the game does look very good graphically but like I said the clipping really is not acceptable, I suspect this is why there is no
PS3 version because if it is a problem on the xbox-360 which is easy to develop for then I guess it was more of a problem with the PS3.

I am curious to know why there is no PS3 version because clipping is the only real issue, I just do not know why because it is only with the game charctors and not the zombies.
