    It is an interactive comedy movie. If that that's not your thing, than shut up and continue to shoot each other in MW2. I don't yuck on your yum.

    The script is unbalanced. One minute the game moralizes how bad it is to make fun of stereotypes, then a moment later it overwhelms you with an over-the-top brutal scene. Pretty graphics, hilarious animations and good voice acting can't save a weak script. [Issue#323]

    New Tales from the Borderlands tries to go all-out but ends up with unlikable characters, mind-boggling story twists, and forced comedic writing. Even some interesting decisions and entertaining side characters cannot save what is otherwise an uninteresting romp through the world of Borderlands. If anything, NTFTB confirms that the original was indeed a perfect storm that isn't easily replicated. Fans of the franchise may end up enjoying the adventure, but I'd advise waiting for a sale before embarking on this strange adventure.

    Gearbox tries to recapture the magic of Tales From The Borderlands, but by abandoning its original motley crew and valuing jokes over story, it offers tame tales only. [Issue#21, p.78]
