Forums - Gaming - Borderlands IGN Review: 8.8

9.0 Presentation
The story's nothing to get excited about, but a great user interface make the game's complexities easy for all to enjoy.
9.0 Graphics
A distinct style and some great enemy animations keep the action interesting and exciting. Detailed environments and some particularly impressive boss encounters.
9.0 Sound
Strong voice acting and a soundtrack that enhances the mood and action onscreen. The class quips during combat help keep you connected with your character.
8.5 Gameplay
Solid first-person shooting mechanics and plenty of ways to play. This one should keep you interested and entertained for quite a while.
9.0 Lasting Appeal
Compared to other non-MMO first-person shooters, there's a lot of structured content here. The option to start the game over again and fight stronger foes on your way to the level cap.
8.8
Great
OVERALL
(out of 10 / not an average)

 

I'm glad this game is getting some pretty good reviews so far. Along with Brutal Legend it's one of the games that's offering a different (not necessarily new) and unique experience this holiday season. For my fellow Canadians right now Future Shop and Walmart have it priced at $40 new. I'm definitely picking it up day one. Thoughts?

Totally getting it...

This and Forza 3 will keep me busy till MW2.



 I will be getting it day one. Its hard to pass up such a deal. $40 at walmart, bestbuy, futureshop, and every other canadian retailer that offers price matching.



I hope that it is a better FPS then Fallout 3. Does anyone know if it has splitscreen?



Guess who's birthday is today and guess what this person holds in his hands right now

Borderlands is a Shooter-RPG whereas Fallout 3 is a RPG-shooter

So yes Borderlands is the better shooter. And yes it does have splitscreen



got it already pre-ordered on amazon, personally this is the game I've been looking foward to the most this year.




-=Dew the disco dancing fo da Unco Graham=-

I'll have to look at some gameplay videos of this game.



seems good, but I'll wait for Dragon Age Origins

I mean I can only afford 1 WRPG this fall....so it'll probably be that one



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

The offline mp made me nearly buy it, but i will propably wait till i can get it for less money
