this game was what i was waiting for since renegade,for a fun teamwork based shooter. ive been playing it online with a friend and we beat the main story in a couple of plays. the zillions of guns kept me interseted because every time i had a gun that was my oh sh*t button for a while another, stronger gun would drop off a random enemy or come from a gun chest. some people may dis the cell shaded grafics but i thought they were a break from the norm. the story is a bit lacking but the game is full of funny one liners, and if you read what the npcs have to say when turning in missions they can be hilarious at times. i gave it a five out of five

Excellent game for a quick shootem up. Plenty of guns and a rather expansive world. Main story is a little dull. But lets face it, that's not what people would buy this game for. the Cartoony style graphics almost turned me off as a little corny. however i still bought it and was pleasently surprised, it actually works really well. deffinatly more fun in mulitplayer mode (if you can find a good group to join)

Ok I agree with Trustleft's review its an awesome game but here are the major pitfalls. Multiplayer has serious problems after many hours of frustration port forwarding and trying diffrent things just to be able to play a private game with friends. This is not possible unfortunatly specialy if you have diffrent version of the game.. Example Gamers Gate version, Steam Version and Retail versions.. all these version are incompatable with each other so if you bought your copy of Borderlands thinking you could just hook up with anyone your sorely mistaken:( My second major beef with this game is the updates and Download content.. some suppliers like gamers gate haven't got access to DLC or the latist patchs which makes it hard to be compatable with other gamers on the net. And as for DLC Gamers Gate have told me they are having problems getting the expansion add ons to run on their web site whichs sucks because steam has all the expansions why do they get special attention while the rest of our versions must suffer the waiting game. This Sounds like a ploy by Steam to charge what they like for the game and not compete with companys like Gamers Gate on prices because they have something no one else has and so they rasie there prices because on one can compete! Other then that the games Single play is great only one issue i have is im sure targeting with a sniper rifle is bugged because its my highist skill and when i aim and shoot something im dead on target for it seems to miss, i swich out weapons to say combat rifle which i have much less skill level and targeting is fine it hits the Spot..

For those who have played Diablo 2, this is a first person shooter with very similar game mechanics and the option to play the game's campaign as a 2-4 player coop or single player. For those who have not played Diablo 2. This is a first person shooter, set in the future on an alien and almost barren world. Your character (one out of four possible) has to find the truth behind the legend of the Vault. A mythical or real place on this planet, ready to make you rich, powerful etc. You are set to explore this planet till you reach the end of the game. There are several main missions that are directly bound to the storyline, and many many more sidemissions, that exist for your character to gain experience and money and weapons. Lots of weapons. As you go your way to explore missions (on foot or when you can driving a buggy) you meet interesting alien animal life and abandoned, now crazy, human convicts, and kill them. The missions are of the "kill B" or "get thing X for me, and kill everything in between" variety. So, all of them although different, are very similar missions, at least the sidemissions. The main missions have better variety, but don't expect anything special. Everything in the game is done in such a way to fight all the time. Spawning of fauna and humans. Just because you cleared one camp site, don't expect it to remain empty when you return from your mission or whenever you come back through the area. Thankfully it doesn't reach the levels of respawning of Far Cry 2 where after 1-2 min you had another platoon in place, but still it exists. The good thing about it is that it is so much fun fighting in this game. Weapons, melee and even your special hawk (if you are one of the characters), work like a charm and it is simply fun to shoot stuff. One major selling point for this game is the amount of weapons available. Apparently it reaches into the millions. I am level 27 (out of 50 possible) and about 25 or so hours in the game and I haven't seen the millions of weapons, but I have seen thousands of them. All different. Not always in looks, but in stats at the least. Various damage, elemental powers (special damage like fire, toxic, anti shield electric, explosive), range, accuracy, rate of fire, ammo capacity, etc, generated on the fly. Spread along your way are various containers, be it boxes, cases, fridges, washing machines, contain weapons, ammunition, MODS (give abilities to yourself or your personal shield), grenades and of course money. Money that can be used to buy (or sell) equipment from various shop all around the maps. Different type of shops sell either ammo/grenades and their upgrades, weapons, healing kits and shields. Their inventory change often and randomly. Every about 20 min there is new stock. Yes, there are THAT many weapons available! The game is not without its problems, but it is still a very fun game to play that deserves your time an
