    This is the one of the best games I've played on the Xbox. Also, this is the best version since it includes all 4 Map packs on a seperate disc so you could even let your friend borrow it and install the DLC. Definitely get this!

    Very few cons: there is no radar on the screen, you have to switch to a map (They fixed this in the new part 2 coming out)...the cheaters online are annoying with    This is the one of the best games I've played on the Xbox.

    This version of Borderlands is for those who have Xbox Live, who do not have the DLC, and want a great value. I got the GOTY edition for $40.00, and it came with all four DLC packs, the game (of course), a poster and map, and a Duke Nukem early access code. Complaining about having tokens nstead of a disc is like complaining that Castle Crashers didn't come as a disc.

    This is by far the best version of borderlands to get if you buy the version with the 2nd disc instead of download codes. I spent £15 on this brand new which is cheaper than downloading the 4 packs on xbox live plus you obviously get the game disc. I have also installed this content on the consoles of 3 friends which just adds more value to it as we can now all play together.This is by far the best version of borderlands to get if you buy the version with the 2nd disc instead of download codes.

    I haven't played all the DLC yet but this game gives you hours of entertainment and for the bargain price you can get it for now, is money well spent!!!    … Expand

    To be honest, I kind of ignored this game until 2011. But after hearing all the positive hype and seeing a few gameplay videos I got curious. I was pleasantly surprised. A FPS that was also an RPG. The main game is a bit on the short side, but the DLC does make up for that adding some fresh new locations to keep your interest going .

I was pleasantly surprised. A FPS that was also an RPG. The main game is a bit on the short side, but the DLC does make up for that adding some fresh new locations to keep your interest going . The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned was visually a nice change of pace and zombiw hunting was kind of fun, but did get a tad repetitive. Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot was a great idea but I did feel that it was just meant as an extra challenge for those who already finished everything else. The Secret Armory of General Knoxx was absolutely fantastic adding some great new characters and a behemoth of a secret boss to the enemies list. Claptrap's New Robot Revolution also had a great back story and adding a bit more of a humorous twist to the central story, BUT, it also felt a bit more like a glorified scavenger hunt that added very little new to the game and combat. Overall: A bit disappointing that the GOTY edition DLC content is not on a disc, but even so, a great collection none the less.… Expand

    If your thinking about buying Borderlands this is the version to get, it includes the main game and all 4 of the DLC (to learn more abut the main game and all of the DLC read my individual reviews for them), it's worth the money and the only reason I'm not giving this a perfect 10 is because of the fact that one of the DLC Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot isn't a good DLC, and that if your notIf your thinking about buying Borderlands this is the version to get, it includes the main game and all 4 of the DLC (to learn more abut the main game and all of the DLC read my individual reviews for them), it's worth the money and the only reason I'm not giving this a perfect 10 is because of the fact that one of the DLC Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot isn't a good DLC, and that if your not connected to Xbox live there is a chance that you may not be able to download the DLC do to the fact that there are version of this package out there, one that gives you a second disc with the DLC on it, and one that gives you codes to download them off Xbox Live, so if your not on Xbox Live be sure to make sure that you have the version with the second disc, but if your planning to buy this game this is the version to get.… Expand
