Borderlands (X360)

“The first Borderlands. An instant classic and one of the best games ever. It introduced the world to the FPS RPG and even after a few years it's still a blast to play.”

“Simply put, Borderlands is awesome. If you like shooters, it's for you. If you like RPGs, it's for you. Looting? Got that in spades. Like playing alone? Sure. Want to play the entire game with a friend or friends? Can-do; in fact, it's more fun!...”

“Simply put, Borderlands is awesome. If you like shooters, it's for you. If you like RPGs, it's for you. Looting? Got that in spades. Like playing alone? Sure. Want to play the entire game with a friend or friends? Can-do; in fact, it's more fun! New Game+? It's there, too. There's a lot of fun to be had in this title. The only thing keeping it from perfection is that some of the quests are repetitive.”

“Just like the Diablo series, there's just something hypnotic & addictive about the quest for ultimate gear and the perfect set of unlocked abilities. Add in split-screen & online co-op, and it's a wonderful game to experience with friends.”

“Borderlands provides strong coop gameplay both on and offline. Gearbox often gives a nod to contemporary culture and gives a little giggle to it's players. The best thing about this game is the expansive world and weapon/battle system. The weapons available through quests, general drops, & the commerce grid offer a wide and varied game play experience. The biggest down side is the lack of connection to the characters. Though the characters have different classes and personalities, they lack background and depth. Overall...I've played the thing about 3 times, I better like it. ”

“Pretty fun comic-gfx style game to play with friends.”

I haven't personally done much with the multi-online player aspect, however, my friend who has says it kicks ass - I believe him and so should you :) ”

“Borderlands offers players a unique experience that reminds me of Diablo II. This game puts the emphasis on weapons...thousands upon thousands of weapons. With randomization at the heart of each weapon, players can obtain firepower of unthinkable proportions capable of clearing an entire squad of bandits or creatures. The weapons which can be found through the game vary in size in strength from pistols to futuristic alien arsenals. Some of these randomly generated weapons have insane characteristics such as a shotgun which shoots rockets...three rockets per shot actually...and electrocutes you which is not something I would particularly like to be on the receiving end of.

It offers a challenging storyline that adjusts to the players level and has some of the best download content available for extra hours of gaming. Unfortunately some of the missions become a bit repetitive with a straight forward "fetch this and get some cash" approach. The humor sprinkled in compliments well to the wasteland and goes well to separate the head-shots and roadkills you will rack up along the way.

With four distinct character classes, the multiplayer aspect allows for gamers to experience teamwork and grind together toward a common goal. The ability to share quests/tasks promotes online cooperation and the sheer firepower unleashed by a team of four players working together is quite impressive and highly encouraged due to the boost in loot and experience earned.

Overall I would recommend Borderlands for the unique guns blazing approach and addictive gameplay.”
