    Worth playing

    Borderlands is a 1st person shooter where you take on quests that are held of many areas of the game. Thousands of weapons it's a lot fun. So here's my review.

    Gameplay- In borderlands you can play as 4 different characters all with their own different abilities. As I said before Borderlands involves taking on missions, there are loads of missions in the game that can be taken up, from finding items, killing enemies or taking on a boss. The game has extra missions to gain extra items and Weapons as well as story missions to complete the game.

    As I have said there are thousands of weapons. Which it does say on the game, but in a way its true in a way its not. There are only about 8 weapons which all have different variations like one may have a scopes, some may have certain elemental effects, different damages/accuracy/fire rates.

    The game does take some time to complete but is alot of fun, the missions can be taken on on your own or with friends or random people online.

    Graphics- It has a weird style that is pulled of quite well but to be fair I think i'd rather have nice polished graphics than Graney and unique.

    Sounds- The sound effects for the weapons are quite good, but there isn't a lot of music and most of the time you'll just hear crazy people shouting and laughing

    Trophies- Quite fun the get, it would take at least 1.5 play throughs to get platinum but its actually a pretty easy platinum.

    Summary- A great game to play but doesn't really offer much after completion besides expansions, which I didn't explore myself. Great game play and fun missions its a good game to play or try at the least

    + Easy Platinum for you trophy hunters

    + Many wepon variations

    + Many missions

    - Can offer so much

      Fun but with a crash 0

      BORDERLANDS is fun game but over run with a bad story and a very small replay value.  Graphics: The graphics are different from your average game.  Much different.  It sets itself in a cartoon like world where you are a cartoon like character.  But don't take it the wrong way when I say "cartoon".  It is not your adverage cartoon you would expect on tv on a Saturday morning, this is gory.  Limbs, random bodies, hangings and brains make this a bloody game.  It is hard to compare these graphics to...

      Atmosphere is King 0

      I would like to preface this review by stating that I didn't find anything particularly awe inspiring with the original borderlands title or any of its expansions in regards to gameplay or visual aesthetics. While I enjoyed these elements, this wasn't my first exposure to cell shaded animation or the loot ranking system that was made popular by the Diablo franchise.I've clocked over 120 hours in this game and have just recently started a new campaign in anticipation for the second title coming o...
