Any music changes you here is because this campaign uses the L4D1 music... also this might be the permanent L4D1 music since I finally got around to changing it...
Pros
+ Unique design or gameplay and level design
+ Challenging
+ Saferoom traps
+ Some story telling through design
+ Survivor dialogue
Cons
- Way too much dependency on the grenade launcher
- Not as much variety as the predecessor
Final Verdict
95/100
As the sequel to the first Questionable Ethics... and also the first cmr episode I ever made :3... both campaigns give this strange feeling of deja vu... now tell me if this sounds familiar...
(I am starting about both QE and QE2 for this next section)
You start in some strange facility... no idea how you got there... as you venture in this clean and sterol place... you have to go through a series of trap/puzzle that could potential kill you... most of the puzzle are unique from each other mind you... and in the end, you use the skills you have learn from the previous puzzles to complete one final task... and in the end, despite seeing the light of day, you have not escaped...
NOW in the sequel... it is still the same deal... but the importance has somewhat shifted from the puzzle variety to the atmosphere and story telling... the place looks much more run down, and now you can explore the back rooms of the facility... the puzzles however seem lacking in their creativity... they were still good (and atleast one was difficult to figure out) but overall lacking... in the end, you have a very similar fashion end where you actually escape in the end...
So tell me... was I talking about the Questionable Ethics series... or was I talking about the Portal series?
I don't know whether or not it was inspired or intended... but it is uncanny how similar they can be... which is also why I can't give this anything but a 95... since that is what I gave the first one... and changing the score what suggestion I like one over the other...
Overall... if you liked the first one... then there is no reason not to like the this one...
