Borderlands (Xbox 360, 2009)

Borderlands has 2 big things going for it from the start. First, it's a new IP, which is an automatic win. How many new IPs are coming out this year? Barely any, and Borderlands brings us something new and fresh. Second is the art style. At first, I didn't think the team could pull it off in such a vast world. Guess who was wrong? Even though they seem stupid, I wouldn't take these graphics any other way. The graphics really flex the muscles of the 360, and it makes sure Borderlands isn't like Fallout 3.

Now to the meat of the game. Let's start with the guns. At this moment, Gearbox has 17.5 million+ weapons confirmed for the game, which is probably where they stopped. This is a monumentous amount!!!!! It would take you 20 years earning a gun every minute to come even close to attaining all of them. And we aren't even counting items!!!! The gun count really adds to Borderlands' awesomeness.

Next, we got multiplayer. How many RPGs can you play 4-player co-op online? How about split screen? SPLIT SCREEN!!!! This is an excellent move from Gearbox, plus your character can still progress in your friend's game. This is a really huge selling point for Borderlands.

As for the actual gameplay? Excellent. There is a little bit of grinding at the beginning, but it doesn't really detract from the gameplay experience. The shooting is fast and enjoyable. The enemies are varied and you will want to shoot them. There also is AI hiccups, but it's unavoidable considering the size and balance of the game.

Overall, if you like video games, you gotta buy this one. If your a stay-at-home mom, I can understand you not being interested. But even if you want to throw fire and holy water at Borderlands because you dislike it with every part of your being..... buy it anyways. It's that good.

great game...long campaign!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Best thing since Unreal Championship, MechAssault, Halo 1 for Xbox.
Great fun with friends.
Get it now.

Although difficult to get used to in the beginning, this is actually a pretty amazing game. The first person shooter aspect lives up to some of the more popular titles, and the strategy game aspects are an excellent addition. What they sacrifice with enemy AI they make up for in skill against skill based combat.

The overall animation is good, sing an "outline" style that tends to give games sharp detail even though it less real. Makes the player feel like they are in a comic book.

This game is one of a kind. The things that got my attention to this game was its graphics. The graphics are animated and are very surreal. The game brings together RPG and FPS elements together to create a magnificent game. The only thing I do not like it the online co-op. You follow one person's missions, and there's no happy medium. Overall an excellent game and I would recommend it to anyone who loves FPS with lots and lots of guns!

i love the fact its not a rpg but it is
i love the fact its not a fps but it is
i hate the fact when you die and get brought back that the things you have already killed are back too! and your low on ammo
but a fantastically fun, soul sucking,time eating experience have fun!!

Whats not to love about this game. Its great storyline and its great co op make this a valuable game for every gamer to have in their collection.

I knew it was a good game, but I did not know it was this good. The main thing that I love is that there are so many weapons. This really is a great game. I'm really glad I bought it.

Great game with literally more guns than you could ever use. Has the controls of Call of Duty but a sort of Fall Out feel to the combat mechanics. It's cellshaded, but it's not bothersome. Beware though: This game is really only for the hardcore gamer. So call up a friend and start playing, because there's really no other way to play this game (for maximum fun anyway) without your buddies.

I played this game for about 20 minutes. I would not recommend this game for anyone. It is a poor excuse for a video game. If I would have rented it first I never would have bought it. If you are looking for a great rpg Look past this one. It looks more like a bad cartoon image instead of a game.

This was bought for my son as a Christmas gift, he loves the game. Item was shipped promptly and was recieved in time for Christmas.

Great Seller. Product was in great shape.For a gamer having a disc in great shape means he took the time to make sure the item was as specified.

Bad ass role playing shooter im not a role player i always hated that kind on genre but this game kicks major ass.. prepare to waste hours and hours of your life away from the ones that love you with borderlands ! 2 thumbs way the f**k up !

Fun RPG game. Starts off slow with the basics, but once you level up the game gets pretty cool. There are some awesome weapons and neat enemies to battle.

After a long wait, Borderlands lives up to all the hype it garnered over the past 2 years. After playing it for 2 months, I can say this game is funny, additive, and inventive. The gameplay is stunning, and with 3 other friends on XBL, you can't go wrong. Get Borderlands!

xbox game! for stephen christmas 09. shipped from hong kong, was here ina very reasonable time. very satisfied!

why would you ever put a twenty five dollar addition to the cost? that completely ruins the point of ebay. if i wanted to pay 69 bucks for a video game i would go to a store and let them keep the change. Plus your game is used. i will not buy your products unless you take away the adition.

If you like gears of war 2 and fallout 3. This game is for you. It has countless combination for your character to build up. No to mention there are 4 characters to pick from. You find better gear or you can buy them. You have quests to do. They are endless. You keep on going. Leveling up will give you a chance to do some more modifications to your character. Make them your way. Then take them to the next step which is on line play. Test your skills against others or invite a friend to play along with you. Hours of fun. It will keep you focus on the game and the goal.

This game is one of a kind. It blends role playing with a FPS into one great story. I would recommend this game for anybody who likes a challenging game that they can play for days and days.

This game has alot to offer. It is a 2 player offline co-op, and a 4 player online co-op. There are weapons to numerous to count. Ive read that there is at least 17,000+ weapons. Overall its a great game to play with others, and with more players the challenges get harder.

Did a great job of communication and got me on xbox live and helped more more than just giving me a few weapons. Thanks again!

I like the very interesting first person shooter that has been developed here A+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

i purchased this game shortly after release and it was unavailable where i live. it was at a good price and the shipping was quick and was glad to get it.

i like the game i'm glad i was able to get it for cheap as well. the seller was quick and i'm pleased with the service.
