Joystiq had the chance to get their hands on Left 4 Dead at the recent European press event in London. Like others, they played the New Orleans campaign.

As we said during E3, the game plays identically to original. There isn't even a particularly noticeable graphics upgrade, if you ignore the dismemberment improvements. Is that a bad thing? Of course not. A bad game is a bad thing. This is just a good game, made again. With new characters, levels and some new features -- such as melee weapons and special infected.

Left 4 Dead 2 will be shown and playable in ComicCon, in a couple of weeks. In the meanwhile you can read the full Joystiq preview here.
