This is a heads up guys as the new L4D is out as a demo on the xbox marketplace. Its about 1.6 GB and only runs one Level. The game is pretty much L4D1. I will stand by this statement. The only thing they added were some CS:S weapons and some killing floor melee weapons. Also the new infected are exactly the same as the old. Spitter = Boomer. Jockey = Hunter. Charger = Tank. There all the same except the new ones due a lot less damage. But yes its out and go try it for yourself. Its pretty cool. (If you like playing L4D1 with skins)

As I hinted last night, I set my XBox to download it last night while I was working and I played it this morning before going to bed. Here's my first impressions:
It is better called "Left 4 Dead Too" and I agree 100% with you, I thought i was playing more of the same.
I do want to point out a few things. It ran two levels. The downtown and the park. Plus, while you already mentioned that the new special infected are quite similar to the old ones, I must mention that the old ones are still in there. Even the witch, who is now a walking cry bomb (I still crowned her lol).
I'm not too impressed with the new special infected. They don't seem to do that much. The new graphics aren't as gory as I thought they'd be, which is good for me as I do have a limit. I can say the melee weapons were fun. The frying pan had me giggling and I completely neglected my guns while using it.
Overall I can say I enjoyed it. If it's not broke don't fix it. I don't know if I'll be buying it right away though. There's too many other great games on my radar. I'm currently completely obsessed with Borderlands, and I'm geeked for Assassin's Creed II. So while I expect that I will buy Left 4 Dead Too at some point, I don't know when that point is.

just finished it, and I really liked it. the new weapons were definitely welcome and i was almost giddy when i got to whack zombies over the head with a guitar. one more thing, i really like the characters this time around. they seem to be a great group just like the first game and a lot of the dialogue was simply hilarious.
