4.0 out of 5 stars A shooter with a little RPG thrown in., 25 Oct 2009
Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 
first and foremost borderlands is a first person shooter. It is not story driven it is pretty much all about the action, but it is fine action.
At first the guns seem a little underpowered and some enemies are clearly out of your league so are best avoided or taken down gradually via the respawning system (fortunately the enemies regain health too so it isn't too easy).
Graphically it is very bright and stylized, which I think works, the tone is quite light making it fun to play not overly grim. The sounds and voice acting are all pretty solid, in fact the whole thing is a pretty polished product.
For those rpg fans wondering if it is worth picking up, well it isn't really competing against fallout 3 thats for certain. Sure there are similarities and where fallout 3 was very much about the RPG element Borderlands is about the shooting (and looting for that matter). In fact imagine fallout 3 fused with timesplitters and diablo and you have borderlands.
I have only been playong for a day at this point so I cannot say about long term appeal but I suspect the multiplayer aspect will be the keeper. What sets this apart from so many other fps games is that it is playable split screen.

THATS RIGHT, 2 PLAYERS ON ONE CONSOLE, SPLIT SCREEN MULTI PLAYER. SOMETHING TOO MANY DEVELOPERS ARE NOT DOING. TO THEM I SAY, EVER WONDER WHY THE WII IS SO SUCCESSFUL?

Anyway, the multiplayer is good fun and certainly adds to an already solid game.

4.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Co-Op FUN !!!, 6 Nov 2009
By J. Pickering "Random Julie" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
So, my husband and I love to play together - and that's why Resident Evil 5 is one of our fav games.
When we picked up Borderlands in the shop and saw Co-Op we went straight to the till !

The game is pretty good for a FPS. Action good, controls easy and similar to many of the FPSs around. Nice.
Graphics are retro-comic, and I love it that way. It can be very amusing, and when you meet the Bosses, you get an introduction screen with some quip about them (Nine-Toes has 3 balls, aparently !)

Although the RPG part of it is slim compared to most, it is still designed so you have to make a strategic choice in the first 25 levels to decide what you're going to focus on. After which, you can pretty much choose what you want (fill em up!).

We've played as all 4 characters, but our fav paring is Lilith (siren) and Roland (soldier) - and I play Roland, and other half as Lilith ! Good voice acting, and soooo many quests, you'll never get bored.

When we got it we had a 6 hour stint the first night, and have played it for at least 2 hours every night since. It's definately addictive !

Definately one of the best Co-Ops out there. And as per the other reviewers....Co-Op is the way forward !!! Get in there !

Awesome !

4.0 out of 5 stars A Very Cool Game, 23 Oct 2009
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
Borderlands is quite simply a very cool game. from the funky graphics, looney characters and endless amount of weaponary, there is bound to be something you'll like about this game!

The first thing you notice are the graphics, they are nothing like what we are used to (although these graphics have been used in the past occasionally). They work on a "cartooney" effect known as cel shading, which is very bizzarre at first, and kinda hard to explain but please don't dismiss borderlands because of this. The graphics are actually very nice and they work very well, it is extremely refreshing to see something a little different for a change. The voice acting in this game is excellent too, really entertaining, and the story line is good enough too, although a little aimless at times maybe.

Borderlands is more of a multi tasking game rather than a straight through single player campaign, there are loads of goals to complete and you can start and stop any of these at your own will. It is very easy to navigate your way around the borderlands world thanks to its easy to read map and navigation bar at the bottom of the screen.
You can also play through the game on an online co-op game which is great fun, although makes it very easy to defeat enemies as they barely stand a chance against 4 of you.
It is also an RPG FPS and you level up as you progress (obviously) and can upgrade weapons and grenades etc to your preference.

Vehicles add a new fun factor to borderlands with a mini gun and rocket launcher to cause extra damage, but it's much more entertaining to just run everything over! Fortunately you can stick to walking for the most part which I must admit I am pleased about because the controls for driving are just awful at first, they take some real getting used to and can be very annoying at times.

Overall Borderlands is definitely worth giving a go as I think most FPS fans will find it great fun. The controls are similar to BioShock so if you are a fan of that you will feel right at home with the R2 to shoot rather than the typical R1 of most FPS games, and also fallout 3 fans will be able to see some influence here (which is only a good thing) the enemies are very similar to the raiders and creatures from the capital wasteland. Borderlands isn't copying any other games, it does stand out quite a lot, but there are some definite influences from other titles.

The only down side to Borderlands is the loading times from one section of the world to another. They are disgraceful, and the loading screen images are amazingly boring! Also the vehicle handling is a big no no for me too, they could have made the controls far better and user friendly. And although The Background music works pretty well it can be a little monotonous at times, but you can turn it off or down if you wish.

Thanks for reading and Happy Gaming.
