Borderlands is a first-person shooter RPG from Gearbox Software that puts players into the shoes of one of four playable characters as they traverse the hostile planet of Pandora in search of a mysterious "Vault," said to contain priceless unknown riches and alien technologies.
If I ever meet the Gearbox Employee who designed Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot, I am going to break their knee.
This really should have Unlocked something useful, like a refund. I might have to use my Certificate of +1 Baddassness, but it will be worth it to inflict an equal level of pain back at them. I really just have a hard time conceptualizing why they felt the need to take a game whose core value is "Always be Leveling", and the constant anticipation of finding a new version of one of the 65 gazillion guns, and then removes it. You will only gain XP in the Underdome Riot by completing weapon challenges, and and a very meager amount of Xp from completing the initial Quest. That's it. Oh, you will complete weapon challenges, as the longer tournaments last 20 excrutiating rounds of 5 waves each, with no checkpoints, no saving, nothing. If Live disconnects, your power goes out, Xbox freezes, OR THE GAME FUCKING GLITCHES on the 4th wave, of the 20th round, guess what? He knows your shame. Yeah, you gotta do that shit over again. Hours, and hours of not-as-fun-as-it-should-be game play can be wiped out as easily by a twist of fate, as a missed shot. Friendships have been ended over this DLC. It ruins lives, Gearbox, you hear me? But OK, you make it through 20 Rounds, and what do you get? A blip sound, and an Achievement. That's it. That is the only reason I am still playing this, is to S Rank the bitch. And I will be honest in that I am not playing it legitimately anymore; the gloves are off, and we are playing by MY cheating ass rules, not Moxxi's. That pretty face is not worth the broken controllers, and 2 days of your life.

Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot has all the style and personality expected from a title like Borderlands, however it lacks compelling gameplay and wears thin in the long run. If you haven't heard it before, it's worth saying again. This DLC pack is not about leveling up, finding cool guns, or building weapon proficiencies. The Underdome is specifically all about killing enemies in a variety of ways and seeing how much you can survive before calling it quits. The name of the game is wave combat. Enemi...

This Review was originally posted at: http://invertedyaxis.blogspot.com/2010/01/night-with-mad-moxxi.html I spent Saturday night in Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot, the most recent pack of DLC for Borderlands. I think after playing through about 55 rounds of punishment I can agree with a lot of the reviews circulating out there.For those of you who don't know, Madd Moxxi's Underdome Riot is Borderland's attempt at a "horde mode" or "firefight" mode. However, they take out any XP progression (thou...
