The big knock against Left 4 Dead 2 by many, was that it was too soon for a sequel and Valve should have supported the original through downloaded content. So before when get into the review itself, let's take a look at some of the new aspects of sequel.
One thing that makes the sequel so special and definitively sets itself apart from its predecessor is a more active director. The placing of zombies and items are more random, thus more challenging and now even weather is subject to change.
What will be the most noticeable to gamers the first time around are the fun-filled new zombies to kill. New special infected include the Spitter who spews green acid at you and the Jockey who latches onto your back, controlling your motor skills and usually directing you into harms way. The Charger is very aptly name, typically bull rushing into your party and eventually smashing one of you into the ground. There are a few more new zombies that you'll come up against, I just didn't want to spoil them all for you.
Melee weapons are also a welcomed new addition to the Left for Dead universe. Chainsaws, machetes and even guitars can be yielded to ward off zombie attacks. So as you can see, there is no shortage of fun to be had in Left 4 Dead 2, the new king of the zombie games.
