Each \"movie\" is comprised of five large maps, and can be played by one to four human players, with an emphasis on team-based strategy and objectives.\n\nNew technology dubbed \"the AI Director\" is used to generate a unique gameplay experience every time you play. The Director tailors the frequency and ferocity of the zombie attacks to your performance, putting you in the middle of a fast-paced, but not overwhelming, Hollywood horror movie.\n\nAddictive single player, co-op, and multiplayer action gameplay from the makers of Counter-Strike and Half-Life Versus Mode lets you compete four-on-four with friends, playing as a human trying to get rescued, or as a zombie boss monster that will stop at nothing to destroy them.","187980\u002Fleft-4-dead-cover.jpg","187980\u002Fleft-4-dead-header.jpg","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.youtube.com\u002Fwatch?v=Z5g3mrK82VA","2008-11-17",null,122,"left-4-dead",500,[19,24,27],{"company":20,"developed":22,"published":23},{"name":21},"Turtle Rock Studios",true,false,{"company":25,"developed":22,"published":22},{"name":26},"Valve",{"company":28,"developed":22,"published":23},{"name":29},"Certain Affinity",[31],"Shooter",[33,34],"PC (Microsoft Windows)","Xbox 360",[36,51,65,80],{"id":37,"author":38,"outlet":41,"summary":47,"review_url":48,"review_date":13,"original_score":49,"normalized_score":50},70947,{"id":39,"name":40},5444,"Jason Ocampo",{"id":42,"logo":43,"name":44,"website_url":45,"score_format":46},69,"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FIGN-logo.jpg","IGN","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.ign.com\u002F","10","There's absolutely no doubt that Left 4 Dead is one of the most social and exciting multiplayer games that we've ever played.
