all games are not created equal

This is a bit of a odd comparison but both games are survival horror and have zombies.  Althogh Resident Evil series have a way more complex story line than Left 4 Dead.  Truth is that Left 4 Dead is more fun to play.

 

What do most of you do after you beat a Resident Evil game?  You let it sit there to collect dust, some of you do play it again in a harder level setting.  After you played it through and through, it no longer have any replay vaule.  Left 4 dead is designed differently.  It's main focus is to get you to play the game with 3 other friends and get achievements or battle it out with another team in versus mode.  Resident Evil 5 is the first time that co-op game play is available, but only with 1 other person and still no versus mode.

 

I feel Left 4 Dead is better than Resident Evil in terms of simple game play, fun with friends, and high replay value.  Even though it lacks in versus maps and campaigns but that can be fixed with an update.  Besides I suck at playing shooters with a controller.

I feel that no game has scared the crap out of me as much as seeing that first zombie in RE 1 did.  RE5 lacks in real scares (Fear 2 did better) and makes me question whether or not it should even be in the horror category. Not to mention that Capcom seems to be married to that obsolete controller scheme.  For me, I will stick to RE1.  What do you think?
