DESCRIPTION
Four weary humans work together in an apocalyptic world overrun by grotesque zombies, collectively known as the "infected," in this sequel to 2008's third-person shooter, Left 4 Dead. In addition to the new protagonists and five new campaigns, the game offers more enemy types to battle and adds a slew of weapons to improve your chance of survival. Joining the hunters, tanks, smokers, and boomers from the first game are jockeys, chargers, and spitters. Jockeys are short creatures that leap on the backs of characters and steer them toward dangers. Chargers are hulking brutes that run quickly toward characters and use their powerful arms to slam victims to the ground. Spitters spew out projectile acid that can also form deadly pools on the ground.
Each campaign area, ranging from a Coney Island-style amusement park to a Louisiana bayou, also contains distinct enemies to face. The "Dark Carnival" campaign, for example, features zombies wearing clown makeup, while "Swamp Fever" features creatures known as mudmen. New weapons and tools include a katana, baseball bat, grenade launcher, hand axe, Desert Eagle, military sniper rifle, chainsaw, MK17 assault rifle, and a defibrillator to revive fallen foes. In addition to the co-op campaigns and both the survival and versus modes from the original, Left 4 Dead 2 introduces a new multiplayer mode entitled "scavenge." As a survivor, your goal is to locate and collect 16 gas cans on each map before time expires, all while user-controlled members of the infected try to thwart your progress. ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide

“Left 4 Dead 2 is a terrific extension to the Left 4 Dead series. With all new zombies and the recurring of old ones, all players will enjoy being "Infected." On the other hand, playing as a "Survivor" can be competitive, thrilling, and scary. Personally, I enjoy playing "Realism" mode, in which teamwork is essential. I would definitely buy the third game in the series in order to explore the new locations.”

“I'm not so fond of Left 4 Dead 2 as much as I love the first game. The setting and location is personally not my style, the new special infected don't have as much versatility as the others do and the chemistry in the relationships between the survivors don't match up to the relationships of the survivors in Left 4 Dead 1. It's still fun to enjoy and my favourite campaign is Hard Rain due to the many witches there.”

But it's grown on me quite a bit and now I enjoy it more than the original. It's more difficult than the first one and changes more drastically when you move up in difficulty than the first, but that's what makes it exciting to play. ;) It's only fun if something goes wrong.
Anyway..The campaigns are great and they've since added the original L4D campaigns to L4D2 so you can play the old survivors in an old setting against new infected. :D
Worth the money definitely and probably one of my most played games on Steam. :3”

“I will first start off by stating that I love Zombie games, so fast paced never ending zombies, just do the trick for me. The only problem I have with this game, is the stupid AI, that is almost completely useless.
On the other hand, the game was designed to have fun with friends, so if you have a four player game going, then you are set to have some major zombie annihilation experiences.
The graphics is not the best, but then again it is the gameplay that matters in the end. I enjoy playing this game every once in a while, and the fun just doesn't stop.”
