Borderlands Review

It's alright. This is gonna be short.

Graphics are Unreal 3 and pretty much suck, they're just ugly. Cartooney but not in a good way. Animation does better but it still looks like a first generation xbox game. Reminds me of JetsetRadio. The textures load very slowly just like in GOW and pretty much every other Unreal 3 game.

The Overworld is such shit, but once in a dungeon shit gets real. It's hard, fun and rewarding. It's best played with one other person over xbox live. More than that and the game is too easy. Also fights break out over guns so it's best to start at the same time and be different classes, for example 2 hunters won't fair well. I usually play with me as a hunter and a friend as a soldier or berserker.

Achievements are very easy. Stuff like find this place, and reach level 10. Nothing hard. Others include win 1 arena match, and sell this many items at a shop. They're not creative nor challenging. Many however are hiddin even though there is so little story. Hiding an achievement does nothing unless its a story heavy game and the achievement is based on the story. This game's story sucks.

Overall, I thought it was mediocre. Try it before you by it. The looting is fun but sometimes the game can be way too brutal, and other times too easy. It's unbalanced and frustrating. It's not terrible by any means but lacks polish and really half assed the story. If the story hhad been decent and the achievements and polish been better, it would have scored higher.

6/10 "Mediocre"
