The editors didn't like

  • Singleplayer can be repetitive.
  • Vapid story
  • Boring and shallow quests
  • Broken weapons
  • Brain-dead AI
  • Console-centric design suffers in PC port
  • The storyline isn't told especially well
  • RPG elements aren't all that deep
  • AI is pretty dumb.
  • Singleplayer suffers from coop focus
  • The story is interesting but it feels a tad shallow
  • Lonelier
  • Slowerpaced for a solo player
  • Massively unsatisfying "climax"
  • Lackluster loot sharing system.
  • Idering maxing out to level 50 takes quite some time

  • Abstract:  Borderlands has been the bright spot in an otherwise extremely bad week for me; this wasteland-themed (think Mad Max and Fallout) FPS provided a very fun, accessible co-op game that cheered me up quite well. Borderlands puts you in control of one of fo...

  • Abstract:  Wildly entertaining and loaded with enough bullet-fueled action to keep action aficionados more than pleased, Borderlands for the Xbox 360 should be on the very top of your Must Have list. Filled with more than enough missions, plenty of skills and loa...

  • Abstract:  There is a tendency amongst the heavy-hitting, magnum opus games to take themselves just a little bit too seriously - to mistake being atmospheric for being just a little bit dour, overly worthy, and earnest....

  • Abstract:  The world of Borderlands is one filled with Skagg, the rats of this barren planet known as Pandora. The good news is that they cannot digest ammunition or weapons, leaving them around the open world waiting to be scavenged. The problem is they vomit th...

  • Abstract:  In the same vein of Blizzard’s Diablo, – or any dungeon crawler for that matter – Borderlands isn’t so much about a large and epic storyline, but a centralized plot to allow the gamers to play in an open world as they complete quests, find new weapons,...
