Released earlier this week, the Left 4 Dead demo is now available to download from the Xbox Live Marketplace. I downloaded it last night, but have yet to try it out. I am glad that a demo has been released before the game is released; if the demo is as good as I think it will be, I will definitely look into picking this one up. Post your thoughts on the game below.

good demo but online is laggy
edit: okay its fun but a lot of things need to be fixed. graphics arent that great. you have your crosshairs for aiming and cant go into iron sights which is gay. and the fact you cant save yourself if you get pinned down or grabbed by the zombie with the tongue. also if you get sorounded your screwed because you cant get away. but ill still get it, because i love going on zombie killing sprees.

haven't heard much about this game, but a friend at work was just telling me earlier today that he's excited about it. we share alot of gaming interests, so i'll probably be trying the demo either tonight or tomorrow.
EDIT: demo is garbage.
in fact, if the finished product is anywhere NEAR as bad as the demo, i'd be ashamed to say it's a 360 game. jesus... the controls are primitive, the graphics are absurd, and i spent about 15-20 minutes of hearing NOTHING but "i'm reloading!"
this IS an EA game, right?
did this really come after dead space? seriously?

Considering the number of zombies on the screen the game holds up rather well, and it looks great. True the game runs rather dark, especially inside rooms but it does add to the atmosphere. Ive played the demo 4 times, twice alone and twice online. I think the game could use a little more story to it but Its only a demo, for all I know there could be more when you reach other safe rooms. Anyway, I like the fact that not once have I played the same set of enemies so far, and that you have to keep moving at a moderate pace or youll get overrun by more waves. I dont like that you NEED to rely on someone to help you if youre pinned but it does add to the team aspect of the game, and the ability to heal and give people items is awesome. The bots are very smart, and after playing GOW2 and having that idiot Dom (or reject bots in private matches) pass me up more times than I can count when I need a revive its a welcome change of pace. Bots that actually HELP you. The achievements also look like fun, so Ill probably gamefly this one.
Lol, I was all like OMG survivors!! when I first heard crying (even AFTER watching the opening movie) and then I walked up to her with my flash light all up in her face, yeah...it wasnt pretty but it sure was quick...

Valve made the game but EA is the retail distributor, much like the Orange Box.

I tried the Demo last night, and well, keeping an open mind about it all, I think that this might be a good co-op adventure. Granted, the tactic is just plain ol' run and gun but also watch everyone else's back too boot.
I have to decide, either this or CoD: WaW. I wish I could get both.
