I didn't expect a campaign themed around to Minecraft to really work in terms of Left 4 Dead but it actually does. The two games do seem to blend together rather well, we did have a few issues whilst hosting however as the game kept crashing at a certain point, and when starting the game on the final map straight from the lobby it sometimes spawned us under the map.
Pros:
• First map has a maze-like structure similar to when you’re exploring underground in Minecraft
• The creeper standing there is a nice gimmick, even though it doesn’t move, it was surreal standing next to it without it blowing up
• Several different types of area, not all just underground
• Maps aren’t too long, sufficient healing items throughout
• One particular water ‘puddle’ is a trap, find out what one
Cons:
• Too many weapon and ammo dumps, they are everywhere
• Ammo textures are just white throughout the first map
• Game kept crashing on the third map just as we jumped into the water, potentially was a connection issue as I was hosting whilst that happened
• Spawned under the map several times when starting on the finale straight from the lobby, happened several times on single player
• The ending is rather anticlimactic, no real escape vehicle and the screen goes from dark to bright white without much warning
