There is a campaign in Left 4 Dead 2, but the game is not super story drive, but thanks to the chatter between the characters you do actually care about what is going on. It gives you more back story on the characters and also fills you in on what exactly is going on. Like the first game the characters all talk to each other and this is something that I really do like. Nick who is a shady gambler and Ellis who is a mechanic. Rochelle who is a TV production assistant. The characters this time around are Coach who is a high school football coach. These characters are thrust together due to the zombie apocalypse that is happening. Like the first game, Left 4 Dead 2 features four playable characters.
