    You know what? I am laughing at the people that compared KF with L4D. I know, L4D has better graphics, but KF is a totally different game!

    Overall:KF is a very fun game with fine graphics assuming that it's made using the unreal engine 2.5, a lot of weapons available, a great non-linear game, but sometimes repetitive, very cheap!

    8 word summary: A non-linear, underrated game, it's a true bargain.    … Expand

    Reading a lot of reviews written by people who didn't like the game, I can honestly say that they played it completely wrong.

It seems like they are missing a key element that makes this game fun and more than worth whatever they payed: friends. This is a coop game in every sense of the word. Yes, you can go ahead and play it alone, but, like these other people, you will not enjoy it all that much. This game shines in every respect when you're playing with friends or even just one friend. The game itself is also really great; it's satisfying to pop the heads of zombies and there is a wide selection of guns from the trader that you'd be hard pressed to not be able to find a gun that suits you. People are complaining about the graphics... Why? This is in no way a bad looking game. It's not a great looking one either, but the graphics is in no way shape or form deserving of criticism. This is a very underrated game and it's ton of fun to defeat waves after waves of zombies with your friends. It's extremely challenging, but, of course, there are different difficulty levels. This game is GREAT.… Expand

Fantastic maps and awesome features make each round a different experience. There's the run and gun, which usually gets you killed, or the weld the doors and direct the horde approach which goes down a treat. About 60 or so achievements which gives you something to aim for if the perk leveling system isn't enough...Just a fab game, and a low price too.… Expand

    This game kicks butt for 20 dollars it goes a long way. i have left 4 dead also but this game is amazingly different in its own way. Some how it is more fun to play than left 4 dead i enjoy the 6 player co-op as we battle different creatures with odd additions to there body. i mean come on a chainsaw for a hand how cool .

The monsters are very well-made, however, the Patriarch, whom is the only boss, becomes repetitive. Killing Floor is very easy to learn and can even get intense at times when your teammates are dead.

    This game can be said is only good to selected people.

This is a major turn-off for most people. If you like a challenge & plenty of teamwork, this game is for you. It also test the skills of the player as there is no cross hair and you have to look down the sights. A plus side to this game is that there is a "perks" system will player can level up, making their character more powerful, depending on the "perks" & the weapons they choose. It may seems boring & difficult to play at first but it sure gets a lot easier later. Players can also choose their difficulty which is a plus for new players.

    This game is very underrated. The fact that you just have to kill zombies, go to the trader and get back to the fight is just very addicting. You cant say much about the graphics, as its an old game. The guns feel so good when you shoot. Especially when someone slow mo when your pulling off an headshot. Thats very satisfying. Best zombie horde game ive ever played.

    not all perks are created equal (i'm looking at you Berserker & Sharpshooter)- but this game is seriously good. Exceedingly few games have been with me for more than 300 hours, but I'm still having a blast with KF aside from some nagging balance issues (which are being addressed right now, if news announcements are to be believed).

    Very fun, old school FPS style game with an excellent co-op survival mode. It's not perfect, but the developers are always improving on it and listening to the community. The only thing that annoyed me about the game was the idiots blocking the trader, but I'm sure that will be ironed out eventually.

    Killing Floor is under rated, Mostly because it is related to games like, Left3Dead( or people like to think it is) Killing Floor could use some more advance features, and tune ups to thier A.I. maybe even a single player story line. But, over all, it is an amazing game.

    Killing Floor is a zombie game that lacks brain and own ideas. In the main part it's simply a Left 4 Dead clone with boring maps and graphics. But Killing Floor's emphasis on tactical gameplay, the solid coop mode and the cheap prize make the game worth a look.

    Tripwire Interactives Killing Floor is what you would expect of a polished mod, but doesn't exceed expectations as a retail game. It's good, but unfortunately far from perfect. A nice addition to the survival-horror genre though, and it has an attractively cheap price tag.

    While the single-player experience is pretty much non-existent and there are still a large number of bugs that have to be contended with, there's enough of a foundation here for players to enjoy. Hop online and kill monsters for Queen and Country.
