As a human survivor, you spend just as much time protecting, helping and healing teammates as you do yourself - everything from sharing resources to pulling them up off of a ledge. The game more than promotes teamwork - it demands it. The language is much more frequent than the first, although the F word is never used.įRIGHTENING SCENES: The zombies can look scary, but the scenery is much lighter than the first and the game is filled with comic relief.įor adults and teenagers that are comfortable with gore, this game does provide much more than a visceral experience of running though a zombie apocalypse: a positive message is found within. LANGUAGE: Constant usage of "Shit", "Bitch", "Damn". This game, like the first, has pretty strong violence in total. The opening scene shows stylized and more graphic violence than the actual game does. However, The violence isn't so brutal that it's disturbing like the first game. You can use chainsaws, machetes, bats and guitars to bash zombies in and also use guns to show some more gore in general. VIOLENCE: In this game you constantly run around shooting and blasting zombies apart as their limbs fly off, their bodies are blown to bits and more. Before the uncut version came out, IGN Australia reviewed the censored game and found that it had been “butchered so badly,” it wasn’t “worth the plastic the disc” it was printed on.Left 4 Dead 2 is a great zombie survival game in total with amazing game modes, more than a dozen campaigns and more! But is it appropriate for your child? In this review I will tell you, sorted into 3 Categories: Valve released the uncut version of L4D2 in Australia way back in 2014 after the R18+ rating for video games went into effect in the country. In Germany, the game’s cover art features a hand with all fingers intact instead of one with mangled digits, as well. Players can’t dismember enemies even while using weapons capable of doing so in the uncut game, and they can’t set the infected on fire either. Those playing the censored version won’t see a drop of blood after killing an enemy, for instance - in fact, bodies of the infected just disappear after dying, often even before they hit the ground. To be able to make the game available in Germany and Australia, Valve had to remove elements commonly found in survival horror titles.

Those who already have the German version of L4D2 in their library can download a free DLC on Steam to be able to play it with blood, gore and all the effects that were previously removed for local release.

The developer has announced on Steam that it recently asked German authorities to reevaluate the survival horror game and, as a result, can now make its uncut international version available for sale in the country. Germany is getting the uncut version of Left 4 Dead 2 at last, over 11 years after Valve released the game.
