Intro: So whats up guys, i've seen they've hidden the reader reviews so thats just fucking great anyway just a little bit about me and this game. I got Borderlands for christmas and wow does this game kick so much ass i love it so so much, its a great game. I've already beaten it twice and downloaded the DLC for it and i can't stop playing. Its great to see something unique out there, but anyway on to the review
Presentation: 8/10
Story: good story not amazing but good 2/3
Overview: Noticeable glitches 1/3
Full list of options with above and beyond replay incentive: 5/4 (yeah i gave it an extra point but it asks for at least 8 play thoughs to get level 50 with every class AND every class has 3 different sub classes..... wow)
Story:So in Borderlands you play as a vault hunter as you hunt for the lost vault which can only be opened every 200 years. sounds really good and it is actually really good there were allot of side quests that actually had nothing to do with the overall story but i never felt lost in it, but the problem I have with the story is about 3 hours near the end it says FUCK IT and throws the questing out of the window and leads you through an extremely linear path. Ok so now the ending as i said earlier i beat this game twice and the first time (not to ruin anything) I was fucking pissed at the end. But if you pay more attention to the story it gives an explanation as too why it happens its a sequel ending which personally is very welcome because this game owns
Setting. Pandora is an amazing place. At first glance it looks like your average desert planet but after you explore you start to really see amazing things like the ancient artifacts, and old heaven. oh and the level to the vault is pretty amazing. the world seems so small at the beginning but after you hit the quick travel system the world really opens up which is pretty good but it starts to feel empty, what i really wanted to see was a NPC fight somewhere.
Characters: The characters really carry the story in this game especially Marcus the bus driver and story owner and the Claptraps. The game is very well written and very funny, but i see the comedy more in the zombie island DLC more. but other then the key characters no one really talks to you and they make the world seem sort of ghostly. Overview: Slow down, texture pop in, and invisible walls. This game has everything. well honestly its kind of a big problem especially during big fights but its nothing that will ruin the game, it really just need to be polished mire which is disappointing. Features: This game has 4 characters to play with which is already a big plus because it makes you want to try everything. It also encourages multiple playthroughs because you can't reach level 50 in the first play through. Also this game has all three multiplayer modes live, split screen and system link.
Graphics:7/10
Detail: 2/2 beautiful cell shading with the character models
textures: 0/2 i'm sorry im not a graphics whore but up close the textures are really bad
art style: 2/2 cell shading FTW overall graphics:3/4 ugly textures but the cell shading makes up for it.
Graphics: When the textures not popping in this game looks very nice but i keep getting the feeling that the cell shading is just to hid the close detail. the guns look really good but the textures are pretty bad to be honest but the enemies, characters, guns , and gore look really really good.
Art style: CELL SHADING HOLY FUCK, awesome i love cell shading and this really brings it to somewhere where i have never seen it done like what crackdown did i think it was a great move and it looks good and it really fits with the games goofy nature, its a breath of fresh air to e honest.
Sound 7/10
sound: 3/4 nothing really put of place sound amazing
music: 2/3 it fits and this shit is awesome voice acting: 2/3 good but not over amazing
Sound: The guns sound perfect especially the eridian guns they just all sound powerful and it works, the enemies sound good and when its all quiet you can hear them coming for you and the hissing noise when you open a chest. just awesome. theirs really nothing that sounds out of place in the game hats off to the sound designer.
Music: Its kind of hard to call the music because it fits so well you never noticing it. it just fits but when you do listen it picks up when it needs to and the tunes are so rocking.
Voice acting: all the voice acting is over the top like it should be in this story and really enjoyed what was there and it was good
Game play 11/10
Controls: 3/3 nothing is awkward in this game and its really fluent
Campaign: 6/5 This campaign has so much its bursting at the wazzo the campaign took me over like 20 hours to do everything and get tones of loot and that was only one play through.
A.I.: 2/2 the A.I. is amazing in this game
Gameplay: ............... millions of guns. ok so lets start with these guns. There are so many guns in this game, and the game designers put their own twists on their guns, like a russian sniper, yeah its in there it doesn't look like it but its called, i dont remember but its one of the WW2 weapons. so the guns level up when you leveling up, and the guns have different clips and different zoom and fire rates and elemental damage. and theirs also tones of different grenade mods and theres even grenades that heal you its awesome. so now leveling up, you gain tones of experience and its really fun to decide how you level up and what powers your going to get. now in the game their is a solder, berserker, siren and hunter, and every character has their own abilities. questing is a big parrt of the game to because your constantly getting new quests to go along with your level. the game really is so unique and i know i dont make comparison but the really is one of the first rps' that really works. And the controls are so amazing their really easy to pick up and play its great fun.
Campaign: um i actually wrote the campaign in the controls sections lmao sorry guys.
A.I.: the a.i. in this game is really good in this game. Now you really need to look at the enemies in this game. An example the animals act like animals and they try to relentlessly mall you to death and the bandits go ape shit and try to kill you at all costs, and the heavy armored soldiers try to kill and take cover and fall back. Actually i don't know what i've been playing but i feel like the a.i. is really good in this game
Replay value: 11/10
multiplayer/split screen: 3/3 has all multiplayer mods
difficulty settings/multiple playthroughs: 3/2 This extra point really belongs here because it does go above and beyond.
Fun: 5/5
Multiplayer: The game is actually based around multiplayer and it shows it has split screen and 4 player online.
Difficulty: The game might not have a difficulty setting but the way you level up really fit and the game does get harder when you level up, and if you don't upgrade you will die. the only way you should die is if your a low level and trust me i beat the game with my friend and he only did the main quests and we got owned.
Fun: personally this game is awesome, and i can't stop playing this game its a perfect blend.
Replay value: i'll say again at least 8 play thoughs to get level 50 with every class AND every class has 3 different sub classes.
RECOMMENDATION: so i gave this game some extra points but its trying something new and its going above and beyond its awesome and if you think you will like this game BUY IT don't rent it, buy it, if you like FPS buy it, if you like leveling up, BUY IT and if you love looting BUY IT this game will have a sequel and i hope they'll fix everything
the average rating is a 8.4 which means its impressive
i disagree with that i give it a 8.8 which means its great
