I'm kind of annoyed with this game. Not because it's bad, or really similar to L4D...but mostly because it isn't easy to actually play the game by yourself. I've only played twice for a total of 120 minutes or so... but both times I wanted to play the campaign, from the start. I couldn't figure out how to do that. I'm pretty sure the missions/scenarios follow from each other in somewhat of a chronological (geographical?) order, and I wanted to experience them that way. Couldn't figure it out. Sigh. Also, the director AI failed me last night (when I needed it most!). I was playing the Carnival scenario when I got lost and couldn't figure out where to go. The rest of the team was already in the safe house waiting for me and I was basically wandering around in circles trying to get to them. I really, really wanted a special infected to come and take me out. No such luck. After a a minute or two my teammates voted to kick me off...and that was the end of it. Sigh.
