This is a really nice blend of RPG and FPS, all wrapped together with some gruesome storytelling, amazing graphics, and a whole lot of fun. I love the off-color humor, and light-hearted game play. It really gives you the feel that you're on Pandora, and you're actually hunting for the Vault. The leveling system is nice, and gives you ample opportunity to customize whichever character you choose to your own desires. My only real gripe is that the weapons feel recycled, like the new gun is just a slight modification of an old gun. I'm also finding that I'm specializing in a few weapons that seem to outdo the rest. Namely, sniper rifles and shotguns seem to hold a huge advantage. The game is also really easy, as long as you don't go to places that are way above your level. The concept of a second chance (kill something while dying to get back up) makes it really difficult to get killed. Overall this is a great game, and one that I'd recommend to anyone whose interested in picking up either a new FPS, or a Falloutesqe game.Read full review
Borderlands is an excellent first person rpg'er with loads of replay value, loads of weapons add to that a backwoods wasteland approach with all the characters and this guy offers hours of fun. I found myself playing it 6 hrs solid the first time I popped it in. Saying, "just one more mission!" Then the next thing you know it was 2 in the morning. The enemy AI is about on par too and once shot at or alerted take paths to get to you that offer them cover. Some of the enemies are just psychotic and will go into a beserker state to all out attack you. They're fast....really fast! This isn't zombie speed from the earlier Resident Evil games. These foes will be on top of you in a hurry, especially while you're having to reload. I give Borderlands an 8/10 making it a must buy if only for the co-op (online) experience alone.Read full review
The graphics are very detailed and the gameplay is really cool. I love that it's not just super easy and it's a compelling storyline, you end up playing more just to see what's going on.

This game is addictive like very few other games. I've played it online, in LAN parties, split-screen with friends and even with my wife. They all like its fast paced, sandbox-type of approach. There are a few things that we would have liked to see, such as exchanging ammo among players instead of just weapons and equipment. However, it does introduces some new features to the FPS genre such as "Second Wings" which allow you to safe allies or fight for your own life when facing death. That's a nice feature when playing with teams, because we don't have to fall back near spawning points.
Easily one of the best PS3 games out there. If you're big on the multiplayer co-op experience, then this is definitely your game. The graphics were hard to get used to at first, but a couple minutes into the game you realize its perfect with the atmosphere of the game. If you're not into FPS games or if youre looking for a hard core RPG, then this isn't your game. Pros - Awesome Multiplayer coop Casual FPS/RPG Game remains interesting until the end Great music Humoristic Dystopian Atmosphere Cons - Weak RPG and FPS for hard core players Quite boring playing alone Weapons could have used more variety and customization $10 for DLC is a bit expensive especially when Mad Moxxi is crappy Limited to 4 pre-set characters that differ slightly
