Received the L4D localised version today. The packaging looks pretty cheap in form of big cardboard envelop. The package contains two mouse pads (free if you pre-ordered the game), a small quick installation card, a poster and the L4D DVD.
The installation, steam update and patch took about an hour (crappy 512kb broadband). Due to time constrain I only played one level of the single player game. The gameplay experience pretty solid.
The fun part is the online versus mode. There is some lag when playing online but nothing serious, sometime if you shoot the zombie the impact of the attack only registered 1-2 seconds later. From the two online sessions i experienced - it's really fun especially if playing as team and helping each other. That is not surprising really as the game was designed for team playing. However there are more choices if you play as a zombie. Below are couple pics from my online session:
Starting out: everyone looks good and ready to kick some ass...
Then everyone got their ass kicked....
