    I'm very surprised by the positive reviews. People must love Borderlands regardless.

    This is, by far, the worst DLC of B1 and B2. It's a very lazily cash-in. I can't say it's as bad as being tortured by communists, however, it's very poor: - the game art has no character; it's the standard desert theme, mostly, a loooooooooooooooooong road, then a city section (where nothing happens)    I'm very surprised by the positive reviews.

    - the game art has no character; it's the standard desert theme, mostly, a loooooooooooooooooong road, then a city section (where nothing happens) and a jail... that's pretty much it;
    - the map design is atrocious; most of the game is just a single road; they didn't even care to make interesting parts in the surroundings;
    - the story, including the characters, doesn't have anything interesting - it's bland like the game art; all the Borderlands DLC typically expand on a funny character and/or story; this is essentially open the door/fetch the key/free the prisoner/kill the villain.

    but most infuriatingly, there are no outposts. there is a disproportionate amount of backtracking. and the sections in between are flat boring (they're just roads.    … Expand

    This is by far the best of the three add-ons for the core game, and the most fun I had since I completed the main game last year.

    If you've been looking for a good reason to re-enter Pandora and start looting and shooting again, spending ten bucks on The Secret Armory of General Knoxx is about as good a reason as you're likely to find.

    The Secret Armory of General Knoxx does a great job of both extending the Borderlands gameplay and bringing new elements like creatures, weapons and the new level cap.
