Left 4 Dead 2 is a First Person Zombie Shooter made by Valve Corporation. The game features several small campaigns you can play alone or with up to 3 other players. Left 4 Dead 2 also has some awesome vs. Multiplayer and Coöp gamemodes.
So what is this game all about? Well, you play as one of the four characters and you try to get to the 'safety room'. Sounds easy right? Unfortunately for you, the infected people out there want your flesh. Yummy. Fortunately for you, you can find Medikits, bombs and several weapons to help you. You have to survive 5 stages of chaos, abandoned places and zombies of course.
If you still think this sounds easy, i have bad news for ya. Every once in a while a Special Infected, a zombie with a special ability, will show its ugly, undead face and it will try to kill you. A Smoker will grab you with his tongue, a Jockey will jump on you and ride you and a Spitter will spit toxic vomit at you. At the end of each campaign, you'll have to survive the horde untill help arrives.
When you're finally on that helicopter/car/boat you can breath again.
The game also features several vs. Multiplayer gamemodes like Versus and Realism Versus. In these gamemodes you play as the Zombies or the Survivors and you'll have to kill eachother. To be more specific, The Survivor have to stay alive and the zombies try to kill, eat, and rip your body to pieces. Welcome to the nice world of Left 4 Dead! And last but not least, Realism.
One of the coöp gamemodes, and very fun but also hard. It's just like normal Campaign, except that zombies have more health and you can't rescue dead players. Where is the freaking defilbrator!?

Verdict
--------
Left 4 Dead 2 is a must-have for every First Person Zombie Shooter fan. It offers a lot for €20, like several campaigns and multiplayer gamemodes to try. Left 4 Dead 2 is a great sequel to Left 4 Dead, featuring more campaigns and gamemodes than the first part of the franchise. Give us Left 4 Dead 3, Valve!

If you want to clear every campaign, you'll be killing zombies for at least 50 hours. Just another fine day at work!

Score: 81/100

But almost no difference from any other zombie shooting game. I mean.... team up, get guns... shoot moving stuff (not your team) and walk to way-points. L4D1 was fine, L4D2 pretty much offers more of the "same" IMO.
