    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Warning!! Do not get Borderlands GOTY. So I go into my local game store yesterday all hyped about the goty. I'm about to buy the game and the cashier tells my that all the previous dlc is NOT on an ad on disk. It's tokens with codes to download the dlc's!! Well I already have all the dlc, but I wanted a disk version as back-up. So all I did was buy the new GOTY book. Then I thought what about people with no internet. Maybe they could download at a friends, but once they got home they couldn't sign in and their profile wouldn't show up, hence not allowing them access to the dlc. Additionally what happens if you want to trade in your copy at a game store? Can the store resell the copy when the codes have been used up? I think that 2k really screwed things up with this method. You may as well keep the original Borderlands and and any dlc you already have as there is no hard copy. Unless of course you really want the Duke Nukem demo.

    P.S. The Goty book is pretty cool. Not only does it obviously have new info, but a fun map of Pandora, and some cool concept art.    … Expand

    Although we all know that borderlands is the best game ever, the game of the year edition is a waste of time just dowload the DLC yourself, its on codes as well *sigh*...

    This game got boring very quickly. It starts with an interesting introduction but after that, throughout the whole game, the storyline is completely lost. Borderlands has one of the thinnest storylines I have encountered in an FPS. Even Codemaster's Bodycount has more depth. Your characters likewise have no personality. The gameplay is very repetitive as all the enemies and maps areThis game got boring very quickly. It starts with an interesting introduction but after that, throughout the whole game, the storyline is completely lost. Borderlands has one of the thinnest storylines I have encountered in an FPS. Even Codemaster's Bodycount has more depth. Your characters likewise have no personality. The gameplay is very repetitive as all the enemies and maps are basically the same. There are only two types of missions in the game, you kill bosses and collect items. That is all you do for 20 hours. So this game is truly all about shooting things, not storylines, not characters. This is an old-school arcade like FPS, which are great as 10 hour games, but for an FPS this long and this repetitive you need a well-developed storyline and characters, which Borderlands does not have. If you like doing the exact same thing over and over in a 20+ hour FPS then by all means buy this game, but if you are looking for something truly unique and interesting look elsewhere. Borderlands is a mediocre FPS at best.… Expand
