    Kind of a "meh" experience. It was fun to see the new survivors, and the witch in a dress.. But there was nothing much else that stood out. The L4D1 survivors say nothing about Bill's death, they seem rather happy too. It's strange. The new "gamemode" isn't much of a gamemode as it is a rehash of previously made ones, I don't see much potential in it. Overall, it was Kind of a "meh" experience.

Let's just wait and see what they'll do the for L4D1 Passing DLC. Expand

    It should of just been DLC. Nothing's changed, theres some new mechanic's but other than that, it's basically the same, artsy Co-op FPS. The reason why L4D is good is because it's one of the few games where the Co-op is "Good". Your team is actually needed rather than some 10 year old following you stealing all the First-Aid-Kit's and RPG Ammo.

    An excellent, meaningful addition to Left 4 Dead 2, and worth the 560 Microsoft Point asking price.
  2. Mutation mode is tons of fun for the Infected as it allows you to truly feel dominating, but the real adrenaline rush is for the Survivors, who have to communicate and have fast reflexes in order to survive.
  3. I'd suggest that if you managed to make it through the entire game the first time around, then you owe it to yourself to purchase The Passing. Sure, it's short, but the mutation mode is set to add a heap of gameplay over the coming months, so get on board sooner rather than later.
