 TOOK TIME TO LIKE, BUT LOVE IT NOWSep 06, 2010
I'll keep it short. BUY IT!
Look, when I started playing it, I was slow to like it. It just didn't hook me at first, probably because your character is kind of one-sided until you get up in level. After about level 15 to 20, then you get to really customize your character to do cool, unique things.
One big recommendation - go to [...] and do some reading on all the different things your character can do, what weapons they would do best with. I just kind of didn't learn anything and realized after level 15 that there were a lot of different things and weapons that I should have learned about ahead of time.
The amount of things you can do and the amount of different missions, plus downloadable content will really keep you hooked for a long time.
great multiplayer cooperative gameSep 06, 2010
Borderlands is a great game for a group of friends to play online. I've been playing it twice a week for a month with 3 friends and we are still finding new areas to explore, new beasts to kill, and new weapons to try out. The variety in all 3 has kept us engaged for many hours at a time.
May Draw in Non-Hardcore GamersSep 03, 2010
There are plenty of reviews here covering Borderlands, and I agree with most of them. Borderlands is a polish, well-designer RPG/FPS hybrid with a unique art style. I was expecting to have a great gameplay experience when I fired up Borderlands, but I wasn't expecting my girlfriend to want in on the action.
It's hard to say what did it exactly, but I think it was a combination of things. My fiancee likes to play games, but typically sticks to stuff like Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords and Professor Layton and the Curious Village. "Hardcore" games like Borderlands are typically too difficult for her, and just become a frustrating experience. I think I can boil her interest down to three major components: art style, cooperation, and progression.
The art style of Borderlands really appealed to her, and she constantly commented about how cool everything looked. This shouldn't be a big surprise, the art style of Borderlands is very highly regarded. Moving onto actual gameplay, she loves games that we can play together. Any game with a local coop mode scores big points in her book. In addition to this, the RPG elements of Borderlands turned out to be key to our enjoyment of the game. If she was having difficulty with an area, then we'd just level up a bit in order to power up our characters and make things a little easier for her. This didn't happen too often, but there were a few points in the game where it prevented major frustration.
All in all I had a great experience with Borderlands. If you have a significant other right on the edge of being a "core gamer", then Borderlands may be able to pull them over - if only just for a while. Highly recommended!
Awesome blend of FPS and RPGAug 27, 2010
There are things that the game creators did that make playing the game very convenient. Such as the ability to transport into a car that someone else is already driving. In case you are busy buying and selling the other person can be driving around the map and you can teleport to the vehicle from certain spots. Online is fun. From what i have done so far its just the campaign mode with other players. Go off your own or join someone elses and gain some XP and money. Split screen capability for local play but no split screen online. I dig it. Also has a cool looking zombie add on for 10 dollars that looks like it might be really fun.
 If you're tired of your other games...Aug 26, 2010
This was a pretty good buy and a decent game. After running through it a couple of times, I did get bored and didn't want to purchase the DLCs.
