Heard about it, seemed interesting...just haven't given it a shot.

What game is the gameplay comparable to?  (as far as controls, etc.)

Is the online multiplayer worth a crap?

It's got a single player component, but the game is really all about multi-player.  It's a 4 (Left 4 Dead) player co-op styled like a horror movie, where the four players make their way to a a rendezvous point to escape a zombie apocalypse.

In addition to standard run-of-the-mill zombies, there are "special" infected with the ability to completely incapacitate one of the survivors, which means that teamwork is mandatory.

There's also a versus mode where one team of four controls the survivors and one team of four spawn as special infected.

It's a Valve game, built on an updated version of the same game engine as the Half-Life 2 chapters/Portal/Team Fortress 2, but the basic mechanics of the game mean that it doesn't play exactly like any of those.

Too long.

I just wanna hear either "D00D, it's like Halo" or "d00d, it's totally like CoD"....or if it's "d00dster, it's exactly like FarCry (GMAFB)"

Left 4 Dead = Resident Evil + Gauntlet + Doom

It's a first person shooter that's pretty realistic and very basic in terms of controls. You shoot, you melee (very helpful), you jump, pick stuff up, and the d-pad lets you use your flashlight, heal yourself or others.

I've played through 3 of the "movies" so far. Freaking amazing. Witches, tanks, oh my!

I have it on the PC

Problem is my brother who is going to school in Arizona shares the same Steam account with me and he paid for the game, and it only lets one person use it at a time

I played the demo though, and it was fun, but I could not imagine myself playing an entire game of just shooting zombies.

Does it really matter on the PC? It's not like anyone uses a headset on anything but the 360. May as well use Bots. Atleast they don't shoot you in your ass.

I guess not all PCs ship with a mic, but the last two I bought did, and I never used it until ingame voice chat started getting big.
