After a long wait, Left 4 Dead 2 has finally arrived and man, I got to say it is pretty hard. I got punished playing the game on normal. There are some pretty wild set pieces like a full on zombie bloodbath in the middle of a rock concert. There’s also a great bit where you have to retrieve a pack of cola for a holed up survivor which sounds like a simple task until you realize you can’t fight while carrying coke. There’s a lot of “wow – that’s cool” moments. I’ve played straight to the Swamp campaign, it is was the level I liked the least. Mostly because of a ridiculous amount of lag. At times, it was simply unplayable. Not sure whether it was Xbox’s network, or even my own, but I felt like I was back in the old days on dialup.

More to come … if you any of you have it … what do you think so far? Worth the price of admission?
