Left 4 Dead Crash Coure - Review

I've purcahsed the GOTY edition of Left 4 dead on PC from Gamestation.
I thought it would be good to try out the crash course DLC but was kinda disapointed.

On with the review:

Graphics: Not much has changed with from the Left 4 dead 1 graphics. However I feel that the graphics while not the best are acceptable for this game. The scenerey is still the same city like area and narrow corridors. Overall Visually it brings nothing new to the table.

Sound: The sounds haven't changed from the original left 4 dead 1.

Gameplay: The gameplay remains the same. It would have been nice to see valve make an effort by adding meele weapons, or Left 4 dead 2 mechanics to the game. Only thing it does add is a little more of a challenge, but those who are pretty much experts at the original camaigns this will probably come across as a waste of time. I feel that newer Left 4 dead players will find this DLC intimidating due to the Tank appearing too early on in the game, and having only tier 1 weapons makes it harder to defeat the tank.

Lifespan: A shockingly short campign mode with only 2 chapters. Means that the fun from this campign will disapear quickly. Overall having 4 pleayers will make the fun disapear even faster. It would been nice if Valve would have included more chapters to keep the campaign going for longer.

Price: PC games can get this pack for free but I feel that Valve is being unfair to Xbox users as they have to pay for it.

Overall: I wouldn't pay for this DLC, so I advise Xbox users to stay away as it's not worth the price tag. For the money they want you could spend it elsewhere or save it. For PC gamers though it's definitly worth the shot. But don't expect it to be fun for long. I believe Valve could have done better.

I give this DLC 6/10
