Charming.
scottnat | April 15, 2012 | See all scottnat's reviews »Bought it on a whim a while back when i found it cheap and had some time to kill. Didn't expect much, but was just plain silly fun. So much so i bought a gift copy for a friend for cheap also. Pictures make it look a little like a game version of the Road Warrior, and that's not too far wrong. Although is slightly more western 'feel' than they necessarily hint. The cell shading isn't going to be to everyone's liking but i personally thought gave it character. Actually, that's the word i'd use to some up the game, has 'character'. A breath of fresh air in a sea of mostly serious first person shooter releases lately.

One word: fun.
Epikitten | March 12, 2012 | See all Epikitten's reviews »Borderlands, You first may be thinking, what the hell is this? Well, this isn't meant for that as this game is VERY UNDERESTIMATED.
The game has an extremely adventorus storyline and alot of big bad@#$ guns. Ranging from magnum sniper rifles to powerful rocket launchers. As enemys stand in your way and you complete the quests, The game is absolutely amazing, Graphics are very good, And the gameplay is nearly endless. So why not buy it today?

Don't eat when you play
meiji | Nov. 20, 2011 | See all meiji's reviews »A typical Fps you say? NO! Not at all. play as one of the four classes. each class with their own unique set of skills and upgrades. Hilarious dialogue and literally infinite weapons. Constant DLCs and much much more. Endless quests and huge areas to explore. Any fps lover should do themselves a favor and buy this game.

Lots of fun, humorous dialogue!
UltraJake | Oct. 29, 2011 | See all UltraJake's reviews »I heard that the game was pretty good, and about a year ago got it when it was on sale. Each character is unique, the sense of humor in the game is great, (and sometimes a bit dark) and the story is decently long. Not only that, but I've heard that the DLC is great too, and some of them add new features besides the new story, guns and maps. If you're a fan of FPS games and playing in a Post-Apocalyptic Wasteland RPG is fun, you'll love this.

Surprisingly enjoyable
yamajin82 | Oct. 2, 2011 | See all yamajin82's reviews »I bought this game half-thinking that it would bore me after a few hours as I typically enjoy very story driven games (Bioshock, Dead Space, Half Life 2 etc) and fast paced shooters (Bad Company 2, Rainbow 6, Team Fortress etc) but this ended up being quite an enjoyable game for me. So far I have put in 41 hours and am just starting my 2nd playthrough. Sure the characters are repetitive, the story is not too enthralling, and there is an annoying amount of back-tracking but the hope of finding an even more awesome gun or other loot keeps you going back for more. There is nothing quite like exploding dudes with a single shot from your newly acquired sniper rifle. Good fun, certainly worth $20 and you would have to be crazy not to get it at an even lower price.
