#LEFT 4 DEAD 2 CROSS PLATFORM FREE#

Story-wise, The Passing sits between the Dead Center and Dark Carnival campaigns and has Coach, Ellis, Rochelle and The Other Guy trying to lower a bridge so that they can cross in their stolen rally car.

Does Left 4 Dead really need more cityscapes? Worse, the fact that it’s essentially needless and quite lamely introduced makes it readily apparent that The Passing really is little more than fan service – it’s a quick and messy cameo rather than something entirely new. Why do they call them 'Road Works' if it doesn't? They may have less charisma and appeal, but in the past few months we’ve grown tolerant of the L4D2 survivors - so reminding us about the vastly preferable Bill, Francis, Louis and Zoey honestly feels a bit cruel. Instead, The Passing feels like a painful reminder of just how much more fun and interesting the initial cast was – one that comes just as we’ve got used to the new crew. Unfortunately, that key feature couples with the delayed release date to create The Passing’s first problem – that it doesn’t feel like a torch has been passed from the original survivors to the new team at all. It may have ad-hoc zombie hordes and random rainstorms that make it a little bit different every time you play, but underneath it all it’s still the same old levels and they still get old, fast.įortunately, the long promised The Passing expansion has arrived to help stretch some more life out of the game for those who still play it – and it comes with the added bonus of featuring the cast of the first game too!
