Yahtzee is perfectly correct - the gameplay is linear (although not perfectly flat) and it does become repetitive, but the beauty is in the online gameplay aspect along with the "Survivors vs Infected" gameplay which will keep many people (myself included) awake into the wee hours.

This really is going to be huge, in the way CSS, COD and TF2 have become.

I don't think this will be as large as CS and CSS have been. Nothing ever will. That shit like tapped into the trench coat psycho buried in all of us.

This game is so awesome.

I'm quite tempted to buy this in the knowledge it will be a shortlived experience. Nothing wrong with that and it might be the kind of "party" game that I'm after that's playable in short bursts.

i got it game is good it just needs comunity maps cos the valve maps r boring after playing through them once the director is not realy noticable and u have to play the game on the hardest seting to get real enjoyment/ chalenge. but then regardless of how how well you work together it just seems random when you die.

so basicly to make the game fun we just need funky custom maps. prefrabaly large maps where u can palce exsplosives and what not alowign you to buld defencive positoins.

its the comunity maps that made dod and cs what thay are (aside from the base mechanics bing good) , basicly the realy good maps stick around and the shit ones die, when u play css and dods u only realy see maps that have stood over the years. having sead that i dont get why some of the amazing maps from origonal dod still rnt in the game. bahh

^ Wow, a Zero Punctuation comment. Zat you Yahtzee?

My favorite review in a while.. though I'm not buying the game until it's for sale on Steam for 9.99 next year.

Zombie Panic source is the right price for now!

wow he didn't really nitpick and sounds like he actually enjoyed the game. Must be his hardon for valve talking.

But I agree, killing survivors as zombies is amazingly fun and satisfying.

It was fun while it lasted, which was a couple of days, on expert.

Bioshock is $9.99 in some places already, given that, L4D will be sub $10 by Christmas.

Hilarious griefing engine. Yes!

A sure sign of approval. And the "RE-tard" line. Well delivered.

I played the demo to get a feel for it, liked what I saw, but not enough to spend even more cash...

I was bored and curious how one of ZP's reviews would be like to read instead of to be listened to, so I typed this one up:

It's definitely not the same without the pictures.

BEST ONE YET! :-D I about peed myself. Seriously

A gerbil in a speedbag!!!
