What is the big deal about L4D?

I don't understand the insane amount of hype that is following this game.  I've tried and definitely enjoyed it, but seriously, people are putting over games like Fallout 3, GOW2, Dead Space, and others and suggesting it is a contender for GOTY.  It is a fun game and very entertaining, but it can be bested in just about every category.  I rented it and am playing it now, however, I must say that I'm glad that it is just a rental.

I think its the 4 player co-op that makes this game.

If you are playing it alone you're not doing it right.

Every time I've played it was 4 player co-op.

Play vs mode, being a zombie is loads of fun.

Forget playing with a foursome - we just played with an almost full room of 2o2p on versus mode. Now THAT was fun. :D

I tried playing it again last night and I must say that it was very fun but I still stand by my original post.
