Yep, bought the game the night it was being released. Got to play around last night in vs mode and had a blast playing as the infected. It was weird watching how the game spawns the swarms. Really cool getting to pick where you spawn so you can pick a nice hiding spot and wait for a survior to ambush.
I find the boomer is a good catalyst for taking out the survivors. Puke on someone and get the swarm to come in and let the hunters and smokers pick them off during the mayhem.
Also, getting all 51 of the achievements adds on to replayability, with certain objectives to get.
And it is very close to bringing back memories of the first Serious Sam, with the number of zombies that need to be killed.
Most likely a 20 dollar title,(but I'm not disappointed that I paid full retail price via steam, since 4 player co-op is a blast on Advanced, and needing to get good enough that expert shouldn't be that much harder)

Expert is a surprising jump from Advanced on Campaign, but much like Versus, Expert relies heavily on teamwork and conservation of health/medpacks/pills. And I mean heavily.
Suffice to say, if you have a weak link on the team (ie guys who run off alone, don't move fast, or search every room they can) you can get fubared pretty quick.
and i got it on VS to boot. rest of my team ran away and i kited the tank player like a ninja and took him out with the regular pump shotty. the rush i got from doing that i haven't felt from video games in a long time, this is definitely a keeper
