    This game is just great, first person shooter meets rpg and works much better then I thought it would. And borderlands 2 is coming out and it will be better then ever. Borderlands 8.7/10

    Loot gathering fun at it's greatest. I have logged over 200 hours doing multiple characters both times through. The music, weapons, stylized graphics,and pacing make this game a 10. The very poor storyline and copious backtracking do bring this down for a 9, but it is still an absolute must play for the FPS or multiplayer lover.

    Also the final boss is way too easy when you figure it out.

    The game is a different spin on the post apocalyptic world schematic. owever, it manages to create it's own mythos and fully developed niche environment.
    It's an open world with 4 different classes to choose from. All with their own different skill sets and special abilities. Each character has 3 different skill sets to build upon (and can even mix and match) to suit the main playstyles.

Lots of side quests and a well made main quest chain. Tons and tons and TONS of different weapons. Vehilce traveling is fun as hell too and the game is challenging for sure.
    The only slight drawback may be that the graphics have a unique style. They may not be for everyone.    … Expand

    Borderlands remains one of the few FPS to throw a massive variety of interesting enemies at you that all suit the world they live in.

The world of Pandora is a sparsely populated wasteland but still has interesting geography features and you'll be visiting a variety of locations from junkyards, to military installations, to wide open sandscapes requiring buggy style vehicles with weapons to negotiate their girth. Borderlands deserves all the praise it gets for its unique and witty take on a post apocalyptic world with massive depth and an awesome level of RPG style character customisation not seen in usual FPS fare.

    This is probably one of the best co-op games on the Xbox. There are dozens of hours of gameplay and quite a few guns to pick up. However, there isnt much of a story and most of the areas look the same. I liked the leveling system and the different classes. If you love going around killing things and picking up loot, Borderlands is for you

    This game is witty and addictive. I have been known to be glued to this game until the early hours. The combat and levelling system is great and the quests themselves are good too, although some of them can feel a little bit same-y. The first few missions are a little tedious too, but after that the game is well worth sinking your teeth into. Truly one of my favourite games.

The cartoon-like graphic style is not for everyone, but I personally liked it. It made the game seem vibrant and colourful, a stark contrast to many other recent shooters. As an RPG it is fantastic. There are only 4 characters, but each can be played in a variety of different ways, meaning multiple playthroughs are possible. There are so many customisation options, from abilities to guns to armour that the game can feel overwhelming, but once you get into it you will love fiddling with items to get the best stats. As an FPS it is pretty fun; the controls are maybe not as tight as other titles but it is solid and never feels difficult or frustrating to play. It must be noted that this game is much better played in co-op with friends as this will make the experience even more enjoyable. The only downsides are a few bugs and glitches here and there (most of the ones I encountered were minor but I know others who weren't so lucky), and some repetitive and grind-y quests that can be tedious. Otherwise, Borderlands is great fun and I would highly recommend it.… Expand

    This game could be a 10 if the quest log didn't get so gunked up with pointless busy-work that was only there for the sake of going back over the same terrain a few more times to level up. There are times you have to traverse the same area 4, if not 5, times just to be done with a quest-tree and keep moving. That said, the game is fun to play.

There are times you have to traverse the same area 4, if not 5, times just to be done with a quest-tree and keep moving. That said, the game is fun to play. I like looting and shooting and looting some more just as much as the next guy. If I could make one recommendation it would be for there to be some way to upgrade a weapon you already have and like. Also, why not make the cars upgradable too? More room for character customization would also have been nice. This game amounts to being an arcade shooter with platformer-scape and a very fun time sink but at times gets repetitive as you endlessly drop unworthy foes or pick off the more formidable opponents one at a time in a slow process of fire-then-retreat. It can be beaten with as much or as little care as you'd like to take and you'll probably have the same success rate as the next guy as long as you keep an eye out for rare weapons with different colored titles. The odd thing about a game like this is, depending on the loot you acquire, the final boss can be easier than the first boss--as was the case in my experience. The game just needed a little bit of refinement and it could've been a 9 or better.… Expand

    Borderlands is a great game, a fun shoot-em-up style with cool funky graphics and a good comedy ring to it, it is definitely more fun to play with your friends, trade weapons and help eachother out with the many quests.

    In many ways, it's the best Borderland game in the series. It takes itself more seriously than the games following. The world environment feels more desolate, dangerous and oddly more alluring to explore. Skill trees are not as advanced as later games but they are just as fun and of course there are weapons galore.

It has a unique, hand drawn graphics style, which I think looks nice, and adds to the originality if the game. The game takes place on the planet of Pandora. Legend has it that somewhere amongst this dangerous wasteland, lies a hidden alien vault, containing countless treasures. You play as one of four ‘vault hunters’, each with their own skill set and perks. Your goal is to find this Vault on the harsh planet of Pandora, and whatever treasures lie within. Many enemies and loot lies along the way. The game features many interesting and funny characters throughout the story line, resulting in some great dialogue.

    Many of the games concepts are based on those found in modern MMORPGs. Throughout Pandora, rewarding chests, enemies and quests will yield loot; this can consist of weapons, shields, class mods, grenade mods, and relics. The game’s random weapon generator ensures that there is actually well over a million different weapons in the game, all with varying statistics. Players can receive quests from different characters and bounty boards throughout the game. You can take on many quests at once, from many different zones within Pandora, and you can then choose which quest to take on next, based on the location, objective and rewards. As players gain experience from defeating enemies and completing quests, they will level up. As players level up, new quests and weapons will become available. Another important feature of Borderlands is the skill system; each of the four player classes has three unique skill trees in which they can choose to specialize in, plus a unique ability available to that class. The player gains one skill point per level, and can choose to allocate this point how they please within the desired skill tree. Players should try to allocate their points to different skills based on their desired play style.

    Borderlands is not only incredibly fun and addictive to play by yourself, but you can also play cooperatively with other players, either split screen or over the internet. Exploring the world of Pandora, collecting loot with 3 other players is a whole new experience. You can choose to stick closely together to assist each other in combat against a great number of enemies, or you can choose to split up and tackle separate quests at the same time, while remaining together in the same world. The more players in the game, the harder the enemies are to face, and the more loot you shall receive. Each of the four classes in the game are balanced well and can each contribute to the combat in their own way.

    Borderlands is not without its flaws, otherwise it would have received a ten out of ten rating; the same brown, dusty wasteland environment can get boring after spending so long traveling the wastes. The enemies can also become repetitive toward the end of the game, once you have faced each type of opponent countless times. Despite the story being gripping, I never really found myself truly hooked to the story.

    The game may have an 18 certificate, but I believe most 15 year olds, and even mature 13 year olds would be able to play through Borderland without any trouble. Profanity is rare, and the violence is more ‘cartoony’ than anything else. Players must think about which skills to specialize in, and compare the stats of weapons, it is not just a simple action-shooter about shooting people.

    Overall I think Borderlands is truly a great game. I found myself hooked at different points throughout the game; I enjoyed getting progressively more powerful as I collected new weapons and developed my characters skills to fit my play style well. I would give this game a nine out of ten.    … Expand

There is great replay value in this game because you can go with different skill trees for all four characters. The world is immense and there is tons of loot to be had.

You can upgrade to bigger inventory but they give you soo many variation of guns, shields, grenades, etc. that you really have to figure out what you like best. Overall I like it cause it's addicting but I don't know why. I can understand why some like it and some don't. The graphics are not the best and the developers seemed very lacking on creativity with enemies. However, they make this up by incorporating humor into the game.

Borderlands has SO, SO, SO, SO, SO, SO, SO, SO many guns and almost all of them are useful, even if only for a sort time.

    Thanks for making Borderlands backwards compatible for XBOX ONE. Problem is, I don't want to play it yet because I hear Borderlands may be released as a Remaster soon. If that's the case, I'd rather wait and play it when the remaster comes out. But if the remaster is far off OR isn't going to happen, I wish you would clarify that so I can go ahead and play it as XBOX ONE backwards compatible.

    I'm waiting for some hint or clue to determine when and how I play Borderlands 1 again. I hope this is clarified soon because I'm itching to play it! Here's hoping for clarification in the near future. But, love me some Borderlands!

I think the game and the characters were incredibly adventurous, story was a great experience but some things just made me not like it and love it at the same time, which is why I gave it an average score.

    One of the most innovative and iconic looter shooters of all time, Borderlands sets up a franchise that will dominate the genre for decades. Even though many of the more recent Borderlands titles improve on many aspects of the game mechanics, there have been no classes to date that have the mobility as the ones in this game.

    In short, Borderlands is a top-quality shooter and grind-fest.

    A furiously successful RPG and FPS combination that doesn't fall short on either front. [Issue#52, p.86]

    When a game has such vicious combat, an intriguing skill system, and full co-op capability, a mediocre story can be overlooked. Borderlands is a necessity for any fan of the FPS and RPG genres, or just down-right looting fun.
