One of the worts Left 4 Dead clone to have surfaced on Steam Market. Your better off staying with Left 4 Dead than wasting your money and time on this Game. 2/10 Verdict: Shameful Ps: Some mayan history is best forgotten and this game is something that you don't need to remember.

Tl;dr: Avoid this like the plague. It will break into your house and rape your family. Otherwise, read below. I bought this game during the summer sale for less than $2 as an impulse purchase and out of curiosity (what the hell, it's 2012). However, what I didn't realize is when the Mayans predicted an apcolypse this year, they may have been talking about this game. First off, I should have known something was up when AVG detected the exe of this abomination as a virus. Sure, AVG gets lot's of false positives, but it's ironic that even it could tell that this game is a piece of shit. Basically, it's a glorified Left 4 Dead 2 mod with more Mayans, less zombies, and less fun. It uses the same engine and the "developers" didn't even bother to change the user interface, apart from some aesthetics (font). I can find freely downloadable mods that are better than this piece of crap; what gives these guys the rights to charge for it? I'm honestly surprised Valve didn't sue the creators for violating their intellectual property rights; maybe they would've if the game itself wasn't such a joke. Still funny that they were somehow allowed to sell on Steam while other, better Left 4 Dead mods are free and of better quality. The game, level, and character design is a joke. The AI is the same as in Left 4 Dead, only worse. Your team will stand in traps and get themselves killed. Weapons are too weak and enemies deal too much damage, even on normal. Some of the developers have profiles on Steam, and haven't even completed the game or got all of the achievements. That's how much this sucks. So yeah, shame on me for not researching before buying. At least I only lost a couple of cokes from a vending machine...I feel sorry for the people who paid the full $10 for something that really should never have been sold on Steam at all (shame on Valve for that).

This HAS to be the WORST game in my library. First of all, this is a Left 4 Dead rip off. Left 4 Dead was fantastic. This is not. Each character is some bland emotionless person who you have no backstory of. They have absolutely no expressions to what is happening. Getting your guts ripped out by poorly animated enemies? Oh who cares! Boulder about to run you over? OH WHO FUCKING CARES! Each of them has the most horrible voice acting I have ever heard. Oh, and these 4 people are just normal human beings. Why just them? Shouldn't there be like millions of humans alive?! There is nothing special about them! They aren't super heroes or such! They are normal human beings! Now for the actual game itself. Right from the start you know you have stepped in shit once you see the horrifying textures and graphics that look like barely any work was put into them. The enemies are not creepy or menacing at all. The scariest part about them is the effort put into them. They run at you like they are prancing in the meadow and every single one of them says the exact same thing, every single one of them is differant. The levels are poorly designed. You will either be lost with no clue where to go or you might as well just put them in a hallway and tell them to reach the end. The weapons are bad. They are just some laser weapons that go "PEW PEW" and that is pretty much it. The ammo system takes like 5 hours to even figure out as ALL the ammo looks almost the same. The differant weapons show no differance at all. They all look almost the same and their secondary attack takes forever to find out. Back to the main characters, the models are just some human in a white suit. Why a white suit? We don't know! It's never explained! The AI is terrible, enemies will be seen running into walls and they will sometimes glitch out and not move. Bosses are annoying cause they all do a set of about 3 moves. Now to the worst part of it all. Content. What content? You are shown SIX levels, each with 4 parts. How many levels do you really get to play? Only half. Oh, and the credits at the end of the third one absolutely seals the deal. They are just a bunch of stock images of mayan temples. They then try to "Educate" you on the mayans. The multiplayer VS is hideous. It is pretty much a RTS type thing in which you need to destroy an objective. But it gets REALLY boring, really quick. This game is NOT worth the money. It shouldn't even be on steam. It is by far one of the worst games I have EVER played.

This game is by far one of the worst things I have ever played. IN. MY. LIFE. Honestly the makers of this game should be bound and gagged, tied to the bottom of a flatbed truck facing down, gang banged 24/7 by a team of mayans with genetically enlarged cocks for a month, then force fed pellets of C4 in the shape of sex toys, all culminating to being shot in the head with frag rounds from a USAS shotgun on full auto. This will all be broadcasted live on all channels and across the internet in every country.

An absolute must-play. You will never look at video games the same again. Grab three friends you want to subject to the video game equivalent of the world's shittiest B-movie, and lower the lap bar on the torture coaster. This vaguely racist romp through a different time has provided me with several experiences integral to my understanding and appreciation of video games. If you never play another video game again, make sure the last one you play is Revelations 2012.

Well I don't know how the game was exactly BEFORE all the updates because I didn't played it back then, but after the updates I must say that the game is not really that terrible, I definetely played much worse games... Still it is a very mediocre game, so don't expect a masterpiece if you don't want to be totally disappointed.

You're the type of gamer who enjoyed numerous hours of Left 4 Dead 1 & 2 and now looking for something different but similar at the same time. To you Revelations 2012 seems like an alternative! But beware! 2012 might not be the year the world ended as predicted by the Mayans but your computer's life might end if you install this game... If you're in desperate need for revelations in life you will find one in this game : it is the worst Left 4 Dead clone ever made! But saying that is not enough! It is just the worst game of 2012. Now does this sounds like a REVELATION to you? Rating: 2.0

If I personally see anyone who's bought this game other than me because I'm a blinding idiot, I will personally come to your house, and force you to play 11 hours of Barbie Horse Adventures. Once your mind is weak and feeble, I will then force you to explain in detail, what the hell possessed you to buy one of the worst L4D Knock Off's you'll ever see. Terrible bland weapons, incomprehensible level design, VO that sounds like it was done with a microphone that costs less than a bag of crisps, and A NUDE SKIN FOR A GUYS SISTER. SERIOUSLY. WHY.

There is a certain poetry to even the worst videogame. A game like Rogue Warrior or Bad Rats is still entertaining in the same way that watching an automobile accident is entertaining, it's a "my goodness, just look at this" sort of spectacle. It draws you in, compels you to watch, and in doing so it keeps you entertained. There is value, however little, in that. After all, what is a game's purpose if not to entertain? There is another type of game, however, one that doesn't sink so low as to become "so bad it's good", nor does it rise high enough to become decent, or even mediocre. It commits the worst kind of media sin: It is boring. Revelations 2012 isn't terrible in the way that Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing is terrible. Revelations has interesting environments (the jungle setting is fairly well detailed and is a nice change of pace from most shooters), the weapons are ok (the shotgun analog weapon is particularly fun to shoot, especially when you get the powerup that increases your rate of fire), and being a Source Engine game it runs fairly well even when it throws a huge amount of enemies onto your screen. The problem is that Revelations 2012 is boring. I recently played a three player co-op game of Revelations 2012. Even after we were able to jump over the technical hurdles required to get the game running, there was that initial "hey, we're in co-op, talking to each other while we're shooting at enemies, cool" excited feeling, but that very quickly settled into thoughts of "why are we doing this?". We just sort of lost our drive to continue. I have around 70GB of video recorded of the game session, and I am really having a very difficult time coming up with the motivation required to edit it. Much of the footage is the three of us just running around shooting at enemies. There wasn't a lot to talk about once you mentioned the basics, because you can mention everything of interest in Revelations 2012 in about 15 seconds. If playing Bad Rats is the equivalent of watching Troll 2, than Revelations 2012 is the equivalent of watching four hours of uneventful city hall budget meetings on public access.
