The trouble with this game is that it wasn't before L4D and LFD2. Because of this it will inevitably be compared to LFD2. In my personal opinion Back 4 Blood were first in the coop zombie shooter genre, LFD wouldn't have sold well. I know that sounds confusing.

You may be asking is Back 4 Blood better than Left for Dead? Yes... and no. No because many of B4D's special zombies are essentially copy cats of the special zombies from LFD2. There is a Spitter type, an exploding Boomer type, and more. Yes it's better due to the card system and plethora of gun types.

If you've never played Left for Dead 2, this game is a great purchase. If you have, know that this will not scratch your itch for Left for Dead 3. Buy it on sale, it is not worth full price +$50.00.
